Question Which goes on first sunscreen or bug replent?

My kids are whiter than white, my poor son is transparent! Sunscreen is a fact of life year around for us. Now that the bugs are coming out, I can't remember which one goes on first. I don't buy the sun and bug b/c I havn't seen it in a high enough SPF. Thanks for your input!!

Personally, I put the sunscreen on first. My son has vitiligo, and has to wear sunscreen year round also. So that is always the first thing we put on.

I'm no expert on it but, to me, it makes the most sense to put the sunscreen on first. Seems like it would give your skin the best protection if it's applied directly to the skin and not on top of another product. And, it seems like the repellent would be most effective if were not covered up by the sunscreen. HTH

I'm with the above posters - seems like it makes most sense to keep the repellent aroma on the outside - the skin protectant on the closer-to-skin side.

Bullfrog makes a combo sunscreen/repellant. I would suggest finding a combo that works for you....
