    I know. Because now I am sitting here trying to figure out if the people that think this is serious are being serious. My head hurts.

    I'm hoping this is a joke ...cause it's a ridiculous question . But if not ....



    You should just be thankful that you are not severely allergic to sunscreen and can use it ... If it does have caloric value I doubt it's much at all and you probably burn that just putting it on . I can not use it without a severe allergic reaction ... I really wish I could ! Instead I'm confined to wide brimmed hats, sarongs and coverups ... And I almost always get burned . I'd rather ingest a few calories!

    Sunscreen only has calories if it's one of those 'all-natural' kinds that's made with/from oils (coconut oil and shea butter spring instantly to mind). I imagine the calories absorbed would depend on the porosity of your skin, right? You could always just play it safe and stay out of the sun.

    OMG I just realized I wash my hair with shampoo that says it is supposed to add body! I should switch to something that helps fight fat.

    This is a joke right?!!! So, do I also have to measure out the body butter that I put on after my bath each night? And my face-creams? Oh. and maybe I should stop brushing my teeth with toothpaste?!!!

    Seriously though, I wouldn't worry too much about this. Much healthier to use the suncream than worrying about the calories! Oh, just a thought, maybe that's why postage stamps became self-sticky in order that we didn't put on weight from licking them as we had to previously!

    Of course you have to add them, butter and cream are really high in calories. Maybe try using body I can't believe its not butter, and face yoghurt.

    I'm not sure if its all natural but it goes on purple and drys clear

    The SPF does not really factor into the calories. You would think so, but that is a common misconception. Think of SPF as you would motor oil. The higher the weight, the thicker the oil. The higher the SPF, the thicker the sunscreen. If anything I would guess since you used a fairly low SPF that it absorbed quickly. Therefore you should not have much weight in liters of un-absorbed sunscreen on your body.

    Good day, sir.

    You probably absorbed as many calories as you burned killing brain cells writing this post. So you're probably even?
