Sunscreen

I bought a tube of REI sunblock a couple weeks ago. I've talked to several guys who swear by this stuff. You put it on 20-30 minutes before going out in the sun and one of the big raves is that it doesn't run into your eyes when you sweat. Well, I've tried it a couple of times now when running and sweating - hasn't run into my eyes yet! It doesn't feel greasy at all. It just blends into your skin and then it's like it's not there. I've been using Neutrogena and have always liked it, but I think REI is the new winner.

Dermatone zinc oxide past-y stuff on my face most of the time (from a tin). Kinesis or Neutrogena on the rest of my body.

The Dermatone is white, and I rub it into my cheeks and nose. I look a bit whiter than normal, but sure beats burning.

Kiss-my-Face or Neutrogena on the face/neck.
Coppertone Sport or No Ad on the arms and legs.

I like non-greasy stuff on the face...something that will disappear and not cause bad breakouts (Generally, sunblock + a headsweat on my forehead = very bad on long, hot rides. Lesson? Keep it off the forehead!).

My skin tans pretty easily. I rarely burn (unlike DH). So we constantly argue over SPF 15 vs. 30 vs. 45 (I favor 15, he goes for 45, sometimes we meet in the middle at 30).

My Blue Lizard came in, and I love the sensitive skin formula. I'm going to try the sport on a longer ride.

I use Jane Iredale mineral makeup as sunscreen on my face, it doesn't exacerbate my rosacea and doesn't run into my eyes like other sunscreens used to.
