Hey, I am wondering if I could use just my facial sunscreen that I used to use... I like the Matia's sunscreen, but for my face it is SO thick, and makes me break out. I only really would like to use this sunscreen on my face, because it is still cold here, but I want to be able to go outside and spend some time in the sun without burning or having to deal with a major breakout later... that does nothing to my already crippled self esteem... anyway does anyone know if that would be a big no no, or anything about any of the ingrediants below off hand that might be bad? I know I need to ask Matia, but I can't email her for this... I know it has vitamin e and soybean peroxidase, but in such small amounts would it really matter?

I just use Banana Boat Faces sunscreen on my face. I've been okay on it. I usually use Matia's stuff on my body when at the beach, but I have used Banana boat on my arms and legs when I am going somewhere and I don't want to be sticky.
