sunblock

[roxxi]

Hi,
I wondering if anyone out there can tell me the name of the white-stuff I see on people’s noses and lips to protect them from the sun.
I have been having a problem with my lips. I use 30 block Blistex but it doesn't seem to do the trick.
Came back from a week of surfing with blisters.
:cry:

Yeah, it's zinc oxide, over the counter in any Rx. But form whaty I understand about SPF (just FYI for everyone) once you go over like 30 SPF its all the same. I'v ebeen told by dermatologists that 50 SPF is the same as 30 and so on...who knows...
