Free: Sweat Gutr

[Dulcineigha]

I actually smear vaseline around my eyes from eyebrows to the (not-)bags under my eyes, because I actually get a rash if I don't. Every single outing. Anybody else allergic to their own sweat?

I seem to be getting a gross heat rash from sweating. I don't know what to do about it...the last couple of days, when I commuted to work on the bike and therefore was not able to wash my face, I swabbed down with tea tree oil wipes I got from Trader Joe's. Don't know if it's helping yet...at least it's not gotten worse.

Yep, it's eczema. I started getting it my first Summer running. Ever since then I've worn a wicking headcover of some sort to help. I can't do the silicone Road ID bands, either--I get eczema under those.
