Sunscreen on my face

[indysteel]

Maybe try a different sunscreen. I've used both the Coppertone and Neutragena Dry Block on my face. I prefer the latter. It's a little less greasy and I don't have trouble with it getting into my eyes. You might also try a headband. That'll help keep some of the sweat of your face to begin with.

I'm having similar issues- I was thinking of trying one of the neutrogena sticks, but the one I was looking at isn't sweat proof. I wear a headband, but I think unless it was down literally over my eyebrows, I sweat enough on my face that it's running into my eyes. I guess I could forgo the forehead, but need to find one that won't sweat off in 5 secs that doesn't irritate my super sensitive skin.

I was using Neutrogena and even without exercising at the end of the day my eyes were stinging. So I switched to this and is so much better. No yucky ingredients, no animal testing, non-clogging, and reef safe for the times you go into the ocean.

oooh thanks! I was thinking of hitting whole foods this evening, so hopefully they'll have it!

I use neutrogena spf 70 sport sunblock and it never runs into my eyes. i have the same burning eye problem and really fair skin so it's pretty critical for me. love the neutrogena!

Ann,
I use Coppertone Sport, comes in a blue bottle - and it doesn't irritate my eyes, with contacts. I live in a sauna, otherwise known as south Louisiana, so when I'm doing field work it can be pretty steamy. My colleagues put me on to the stuff after I got seriously sunburned above my eyebrows after being out on an airboat, so my hat brim was blown up. I had applied sunscreen on my nose and cheekbones, and every where else, but not above my eyebrows. I've used the Coppertone Sport since, and have noticed that's the preferred product most of the other use - it holds up to sweating.

re-read from the beginning - I see you've tried Coppertone. I guess in an airboat or other boat I don't get as much sweat in my eyes. I generally don't apply sunscreen above my eyebrows when I'm cycling. Figured for road cycling, my head is down enough that I'm not apt to get as burned as when I'm out on the water.
