Sunscreen on my face

[lunacycles]

+1 on the MyChelle sunscreen. I have a huge family history of skin cancer, mostly many, many basal cell carcinomas with a squamous here and there...and given I was raised at 5000 feet and in the sun every day and am of super fair skin and Northern European descent--I am basically a poster child for all high risk factors for skin cancer, and have had a few removed already.
Even though spf 28 may not seem adequate, I haven't found higher spf's to be much more effective. And what is really important to me is not dumping a bunch of weird chemicals onto my skin day in and day out, as there are some believers that sunscreens of that variety actually cause more skin cancer than prevent (controversial, but worth paying attention to).
It is really hard finding a good sunscreen without all the bizarre, unpronounceable things in it that won't turn your skin white, and the MyChelle is the best I have found to date. Expensive, but worth it.

I wear a buff under my helmet with oversized sunglasses. Therefore, I only apply sunblock from below my eyes down. I use proactiv 15 or neutrogena. I recently did some research, to "review" for the summer--the key is to reapply often. I tried that on a long bike ride once--it was like giving myself a salt scrub! Apparently comical for those watching the spectacle also (I know--You could rinse your face with water beforehand. All I had was gatorade--you would think I learned my lesson when I fell once and had to choose between not washing out the road rash and washing out with gatorade )
