Can you wear sunscreen over top of this, or will it make the color wipe off?

As long as you wait a while for it to soak in and dry you should be fine. I've used sunscreen, but I usually wait at least 30 minutes until it feels like it's totally absorbed

I found it came out smoother when you mixed it with another lotion. I haven't tried sunscreen. But it should be fine.

It would probably mess up the color. I've never tried, but swimming definitely takes it off so I bet other liquids would

I haven't tried that yet. I think it will come off if you put anything with oil in it..or create streaks.... that's my own opinion. If you try it and it remains on then you can post your review here.. :)

Absolutely. Our kids have very sensitive skin so we tend to apply a light layer of cetaphil before applying sunscreen. This is a very nice sunscreen- goes on smoothly without significant white residue.

This sunscreen is highly waterproof. Australian standards require that sunscreens be able to stay on in water for a longer amount of time. Because it is highly waterproof, it goes on relatively thick and usually requires washing your hands w/soap and water to get it off-no quick wipe on a towel or rinsing your hands in the pool. I suppose to some people this would be annoying, but especially since we're using it on a child, we are very thankful for this property.

The initial color guide will wash off with any water. i agree with others that applying the.night before and showering the next day will be your best bet. It leaves you stained a tan color. It fades nicely without leaving streaks. Hope that helps!

This is a non-oily physical sunscreen, so it doesn't take long to dry and doesn't feel sticky once rubbed in, but it does leave a subtle white cast. It doesn't go on as easily as Burnout Kids Physical Sunscreen (which I believe has been discontinued and replaced with a product that is much harder to apply), but from the data and my experience, it provides better UV protection and resists water/sweat better.I'm not sure about wearing makeup over it, but given that it is very waterproof, I'm guessing it wouldn't be a problem.

I don't know, I haven't tried. If this is at all helpful, I do use a cream blush on top of it and it blends in just fine. I agree, it is very light. At first I thought it had lots of zinc oxide cream in it. The whole reason I bought it because is because of the 50 spf sunscreen rating. I need it. Summers I spend many hours on the water, on a lake at 7,000 feet elevation. You burn real fast there. My first real test of the product was this weekend, it did a fantastic job. Even the parts where cream blush was applied on top of it. I wish I could be more helpful.

It will definitely wash off if you are in water a lot;as any self tanner would. I recently went on a vacation to Florida and I used this product the night befor I got on the plane and it lasted for about 4-5 days before it completely washed off. I was in water and taking showers frequently. Hope that helped :)

There is a product out there by Punky Colors in a taller slimmer bottle that is made for getting color off of your skin. It says to use before, but I have used it after coloring my hair, and it takes the color right off of your skin. You can also try Vaseline around your hairline and ears, and that will protect your skin from the color staying on it. Good luck.

This sunblock does NOT color your face in any way. Actually, I intend to amend my review to say that it is fine to use on your face as long as you don't put try to put makeup on top of it. When I applied my Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15 [which is just a regular foundation, as its title says] the suncreen - it's hard to explain - but it coagulated into little spools & as I spread the foundation, it actually was wiping off the sunscreen. Now I use it on my neck, decollete, & arms.

I personally use it before because I like my sunscreen to sit on top as it should to protect you from the sun. Hope that helps. By the way, I love this cream and I have my girlfriend hooked on it to. :-)

It's a tan booster , I would most definitely wear sun screen underneath! If you burn naturally you will probably burn with this.

The tan is barley noticeable so I use it on top of my make up for sunscreen. I also have a second one that I put on my part in my hair (strawberry blond) to prevent sunburns and the powder is not noticeable in my hair.

It does leave a white residue. I haven't found a zinc sunscreen that doesn't. It does make a great "base" if you wear foundation, though :)

I'm sure you could but, as a whole, I didn't find the product very effective. I have a hairless dog and using it made no difference in so far as her "tan". She got as dark (or overexposed, I suppose) as other summers when I used no product on her. I've heard about a baby-proof sunscreen that has no dangerous chemicals in case of licking and I'm trying to find out more about that since I'm hoping it would be more effective. In short, I wouldn't waste my money on this product. I'm surely not buying it again.

Yes if you put a lot on, no if you put on a thin layer as instructed. This sunblock lays on top of the skin versus absorbed by the skin. By the way it does stay on for along time; also when you can't get any more out by squeezing take cap off and pound it in your hand. Finally when no more comes out cut container in half and there is still plenty left!

Honestly I haven't tried yet but if you don't wash off the extra self tanner after applying it, I'm sure some will come off in the water. but it does not streak for me at all. also if you have some tan already it looks a lot better I think.

I have only used the Waterstop with UV protection. I have used it on both light and dark leather handbags. The light one I have is a bright yellow. I noticed no difference in the color after application.
