I always slathered or sprayed sunscreen on thick (Southern AZ) and hate how my eyes start to burn towards the end of the day, and I have a terrible taste in my mouth. Spent a month in France and bought sunscreen at the local bodega and had none of those issues (and I just bought the cheap shit). There’s definitely something to the American sunscreens that’s less friendly overall.
