sun block
Can anyone name a sun block that doesn't have a scent and is very cheap?
I never wear sun block or sun lotion cuz they smell bad but now I need to because I heard that if you dont wear some on your face then it's sorta like cooking cheese on a frying pan wear it starts to boil up and you get massive pimples!

Excessive sun exposure can cause pimples because the sun dries out your skin, causing it to produce more oil. More oil= more clogged pores = more zits. Hooray!
I really strongly recommend that you start wearing sunscreen. Ignore the smell. It fades quickly, and you'll be saving yourself from premature skin aging, wrinkles, and the risk of skin cancer. BTW, if you DO get melanomas.. I can tell you form personal experience that getting a mole removed is fun at first, but painful for days afterward. And you'll have a not-so-attractive scar for the rest of your life. Not fun.
So, for sunscreens/sunblocks, I recommend:
1. Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry-Touch Sunblock. I use this one on my face for a number of reasons. It's lightly scented (and unfortunately the scent goes away fast) and doesn't clog my pores. It was recommended to me personally by a dermatologist. SPF 30&45($9.99 for 3oz, but since it's for oyu face it lasts for a long time)
2. Clean and Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer. This one would probably be best for you. It doesn't have that typical sunscreen-ey smell. It's almost citrusey... and very light. Bonus: it moisturizes (duh) and has skin brighteners! SPF 15 ($6.99 for 4oz)
3. Anything Coppertone, for the rest of your body. "Sport" products last a bit longer (they're more sweatproof) so you'll have to reapply less often. I've found that Coppertone doesn't ever smell bad, and they're less expensive than most. ($9.99 for a big bottle)
Many cosmetics now have sun protection built in. Use them WITH sunscreen, not as a replacement. Why? They wear off, and so will the protection from the sun. There's nothing wrong with them though, so don't be afraid to sweep on some SPF bronzing powder before hitting the beach!

Go to a drugstore and find sunblock that is meant for your face and is oil free. Some are even moisurizing. Or you can get foundation with sunblock built in.
I dont think the sun gives you pimples, but extreme sun exposure can give you sun blisters.

netrogena has a sunblock that shouldnt give you pimples and doesnt smell too bad...look for other face sun blocks, because those should be scent free and wont clog your pores.
