I’m not going to actually throw away my sunscreen sticks, but from now on I am going to use them a) only around my eyes b) when I don’t expect to get a lot of sun (e.g. house-to-car-to-building-to-car-to-house).

But my favorite one (which had a totally clear formula) was discontinued. Maybe it’s because it was found to not be protective enough. Darn.

If the stick’s SPF rating was higher than the lotion’s that would be the case, but all SPF testing is done with the same mass of product per area (2 mg/cm2), including for powders, sprays and sticks.
