So what the hell is it with sunscreen? I am extraordinarily white, so I need to use it, especially if I'ma go kayaking for hours in Texas in the afternoon in July for cryingoutloud. I've tried different kinds, and even the expensive organic lavender shit is terrible. I hate the way they smell, and when I rub a lot of it on my skin, I taste it in the back of my mouth. Not because I get any there- it's either because it just smells that strongly to me, or else it's getting in my bloodstream or something. I cannot wait to wash the stuff off. I scrubbed and scrubbed in the shower and I can't smell it anymore but I can still taste it. WTF?
