I Don't Burn I Scorch!
I don't understand SPF from a stop sign. I need help in purchasing the right sunscreen for me. I also need to know what SPF means and what number I should be getting.
I'm pretty fair skinned and I don't burn I scorch and really fast. This is dangerous for me because I can't sweat or be in the heat under hot sun for medical reasons. I'm going to be at an outdoor sporting event for three days so I need to get this right.
I want a sunscreen that either goes on clear or sprays on clear that isn't messy or goes on creamy white. It also has to have a bottle I can slide into my pocket and get past security with. I need to be able to put it under my grandstand seat.
If it matters I'm Canadian. I doubt the products from the major manufacturers are any different though. I heard Coppertone has a bottle that's blue and designed for sports and goes on clear. I want to know if it's good or crap before getting anything.

SPF is a multiplier of your natural protection from the Sun. If you would get burned after 5 minutes without any sunscreen, you will get burned after about 50 minutes with SPF 10 (5*10=50).
I use Coppertone Sport Ultra Sweatproof Continuous Spray with SPF 70+. This is what you mentioned. It works really well, and the spray helps to cover your skin completely. It's clear, and you should be able to hide it.
