I'm very pale too. Not redhead pale, but right next to that. You do have to rub it in (especially the stick). Helps to use another moisturizer first. Also helps to be hot and sweaty. But it works, and doesn't bother my skin.

Edit: TE has a lot of SPF clothing. Some by Canari, some by De Soto, others too. I use the Cool Wings more than anything to prevent sun exposure. If you do a search for SPF on the TE site, it will give you the best selection. (Hey Susan, that would be great under the Specialty menu!).
Thanks for the tips Muirenn! I have badger sunblock, but that's for when I'm off the bike mostly. Last time I rode with it on my face I'd wiped it (and my sweat) off in a few places and had a really uneven sunburn! I picked up neutrogena's 'wet' sunblock stick for kids that can be applied to wet or dry skin... works great for my face and cheeks.

I'll be wearing PI sun sleeves every day. Otherwise I'll have to check out the avalon organics sunblock for my knees and neck!
