low spf sunscreen (tanning lotion)?

kend0g187

Anyone know a place to buy low-spf (6-8) sunscreen in Saigon? My parents sent me some from USA and it got confiscated at the Bangkok airport (bastards). I need to get my tan on! Help!

I have been looking for low-SPF sunscreen for several weeks. I even had my wife (Vietnamese) go with me several places to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I don't care about my deep-tropical farmer's tan, but I just wanted something that wasn't so heavy that I could wear every day. My wife told me not to expect the SPF ratings to be equal. I didn't believe her until I bought some and tried it out.

I ended up buying some Sunplay Skin Aqua SPF 50. In the US, I used to run in the sun and would usually use SPF 30 or higher. This stuff does not match the SPF levels in the US. It is much thinner than normal SPF 50 sunscreens.

The words "Dung hang ngay" (all with down accents) mean "For everyday use". My wife said that the every day use varieties might be lighter than normal. I have been using this stuff lightly every day and it has prevented me from getting burned, hasn't been too gunky (although it is slightly greasy), and my farmer's tan is darker than ever. It might not be perfect for what you are looking for, but hopefully it will be better than randomly picking one from the market. Good luck!

Nivea has some speciality products for keeping the sun away.

What's with the cream and security at BKK? I thought only US Homeland employed idiots.

Hi,
This is a very simple matter. You can have your expected sunscreen even sitting at your home. This is a digital world and life is so easy in this digital world. There are lots of e-commerce website you can buy from. I use sunscreen (freshbeak.com/health-beauty/sun-care/thinksport-sunscreen-50-1x3oz.html?p=1&q=BAAY42099) regularly and correctly. You may also order from your home and your sunscreen will reach at your home. Please search on Google. I think you will get your expected one.
Thanks.
