Use a sunscreen that is clear and liquidy- some sprays are like this- Bullfrog or Coppertone Sport are two I've used with success (both are at least 30 SPF). I too cannot tolerate lotions cuz they make me break out and feel hot and nasty! Anything that is lotion based (ie creamy and thick) will cause the breakout problem.

I'm also a HUGE Neutrogena fan. I have very fair skin that is somewhat sensitive. When I started running I HATED running with sunscreen on 'cause it left me feeling so gross, greasy, etc. and didn't let my skin "breathe. I use the Neutrogena Active breathable sunscreen (30 or 45) and I don't have any of those nasty feelings. After reading other postings will try the Ultra-Sheer Dry-Touch as well.
BTW, I use SPF 30 and still get some "tan lines" over time ... but then I like having a little bit of color.

Avon has a sport version - it's spray on (no messy lotion), non-greasy, SPF15 (that's not high, sorry), and repells bugs, too. I've used it a couple times now, and it seems to do it's job.
(mentioning this has absolutely nothin' to do with the fact that I sell the stuff....
Reeeeally!)
great day to all,

Ella Bache Sportsbloc 30+. Expensive compared to some, but definitely worth it. I live in Queensland, Australia - gets very hot, and in summer, very humid too. I can use this stuff, in the middle of summer, and do a four hour ride and not even get pink. Which is something else considering I'm fair skinned, red-headed and can perspire heaps in the humidity.
