So, we did our first sun heavy day yesterday and we're doing Disney in 17 days.

I skipped sunscreen in the African, Indian and Mexican and they had no problems. Ch was in the water ALL day and forgot 2 meals because he was swimming and nothing. E and C skipped sunscreen. They were both pink on their faces and shoulders this am. C used the aloe and green tea lotion like I told him and it was gone instantly. E used the lotion on her shoulders but disobeyed DH and I and repeatedly slathered vaseline on her face (the container says its for burns :/ ) Her face was still burnt at bedtime when we threatened to throw away her vaseline if she smeared it on hr face again. R requested sunscreen from my sister, applied only once and no pink. L was in and out of the water and thus spent aout 50% of her time in the shade. She also wore a rashguard shirt and got no pink at all. J I kept in the shade. He's the only one I haven't had a chance to confirm whether he got Daddy's native american skin tones or not.

But, I've got to figure out sunscreen for ME for Orlando. Unlike all of my children, I have NO ancestry that creates melanine designed to protect from the sun and I will turn loster instantly.

I need something heavy duty for me and something light for all the kids faces because we'll be in the sun SO much that week.

Would the Oils work for the kids, since they do all genetically have natural defenses (assuming J inherited like the others)? Might it help me not require so heavy duty for me?
