I was cruising in the caribbean to Honduras and Belize which is the closest place I have ever been to the equator. I burned so bad and had sun poison from it. I was cruising again in 13 days. I was extremely nervous about the burn and going back into the sun. This was suggested to me by my mom. I tired it on my face and it didn't burn at all. I ended up using it all over and I didn't burn once. Instead I feel I got the best tan of my life using this. I do recommend that people try it. It works. Its not greasy and heavy feeling either.
