So if you have any kind of sensitive skin you are better off making sure whatever it is you use is made for your face, which tends to be more sensitive than your arms or your legs. Or you could end up with a chemical burn which is what happened to me one time when I randomly used some sun screen a friend gave me.

Okay, I am so sorry for both of you. My skin is sensitive, but I've never gotten a chemical burn from shaving cream. I also cannot wax, though, which sucks when you are going to the beach or a week or two.
I've used the great Peter Thomas Roth sunscreen for face, unscented, nonsticky, great protection. He seems to make his stuff for sensitive skin.
Really, it's hard to find something decent for body that you can wear with real clothing. Maybe I'll just begin wearing gloves, a la Julianne Moore in Far From Heaven. (An exquisite movie, really a
movie movie. I absolutely loved it.)
