Our doctor told us to buy a new bottle every summer. It costs so little and not worth risking.
I still have a bottle of sunblock from last summer, is it still good? Do I need to buy a new bottle every summer? Experience? Recommendations? Thanks ladies!

check the bottle. Usually there is an expiration date stamped on the bottom of the bottle.
Yeah, I think they lose their potency after a while. Still, I'm continuing to use last year's until I get around to getting some more for this year.
My experience is this, "wow I keep putting sunblock on, but I still get burned." My mom: "how long have you had it?" Me: "I don't know, like 2 years." My mom..."well, there you go." SO I would say,if in doubt...throw it out! Sunburns are terrible!
