Yesterday I tried one of zinc oxide ones... the backs ofmy calves are all kinds of red splotches... seems there's a sunburned patch that I reckon is probably where I missed with the sunscreen.
Got the same blotches on my thighs, where I was wearing spandex capris. (Looks like those same capillaries that keep me warm in winter by increasing blood flow to right under the skin exploded - but it's bright red, not bruisy, so that's probably not right, either.)
I'm going to go back to the coppertone for now. (And yes, I'm fair-skinned... Celtic and Norse and German...)
