When you buy sun screen, do you normally buy the higher priced brands or go with the cheaper brands?

There is a wide array of sun screens on the market. You can go to a large box store and get a lot of it for cheap. You can go to a high end salon and buy a little bit of it for a lot. What do you do?

  1. I use so much of it I buy a lot at Costco, Target or the grocery store. I can’t afford the expensive stuff. I have used it in the past and personally don’t notice a difference.

    1. Thank you for your thoughts. I am much the same. I am not sure what the difference is in effectiveness but I do notice a difference in how it feels on my skin. If I am on a tv or movie set, I don't want the cheaper stuff. It leaves a glaze that is noticeable on camera. When I am just running around in my life, I like the cheaper stuff ok.
