I recently had to do a research project on the 5 most dangerous things you can have or use in the home and sunscreen is one of them. Be particularly careful with products that contain DEET.
When the skin becomes moist it acts like a sponge. There are roughly 7 highly toxic chemicals in sunscreen products that could and most likely will lead to skin cancer.
You are much better off limiting exposure to 15 minutes a day on face and arms, not wearing any sunscreen product, or following the advice listed above this post.
