Don't do it!

Can I Do a Custom Blend?

Sunscreen and lotion seems like it could be a good mix: simply dump in a bottle of SPF 50 into a cheapo drugstore brand lotion in a pump bottle, and you'll never forget to apply sunscreen again! Right? Not quite.

Bog down active properties and make skin extra-greasy? Blending sunscreen and lotion sounded like a good idea, but I'm going to have to say "no thanks" after thinking this through more.
