When I do rides of more than 50 miles I get chapped lips and chapping around my eyes. I wear glasses with sunglasses over my eyeglasses. I tried using vaseline around my eyes but it smudges my glasses and I have to stop and clean my glasses periodically. I use Blistex on my lips which I apply when I stop to clean my glasses but it doesn't seem to help. Does anyone know anything I can use to prevent the chapping of my lips and around my eyes?

Try Vitamin E Stick by Reviva Labs for around your eyes, and Kiss My Face Sport Lip Balm (spf 30) for lips. I always get some degree of smudging on my Oakleys but it's more from my sweat than anything (as I sweat profusely when I ride).

My eyes often run at the start of a ride and if I don't dab them with a tissue, the skin can easily chap. I found my sensitivity to certain creams caused some of the tearing up, and changed to a very basic cream. (I'll just have to live with the wrinkles.)
I always carry a lipsalve with SPF and apply it often during a ride, there's nothing worse than dry lips for making you feel thirsty and overdoing the water consumption.
