Runners/Cyclers- sunscreen rec?

[Deleted]

What do you use for face and arms/legs when you'll be sweating? I have pretty sensitive skin and I'm having a hard time finding something that won't make my skin sting and break out.

Thanks much!

I've actually been using sunscreen for babies. 50 SPF. It seems to work well. When I run out I'll probably use Coppertone Sport.

I use up&up (Target brand) spf 50 spray on sport sunscreen on my body and one of those glue stick looking things on my face so i don't risk the spray getting in my eyes. I findthe stuff that comes in stick form is very thick and doesnt run into my eyes when I sweat.

That brand also got very high reviews by Consumer Reports as far as low levels of dangerous ingredients.

I use the fragrance free CVS brand.

I've been using the Neutrogena Sport. I got a combo pack at Target that came with face (70+ SPF), spray (100+ SPF) and a chapstick. So far, so good.

I use Neutrogena on my face, and whatever is around on the rest of me, usually Coppertone Sport.

I don't go higher than SPF 45 on my face, and 30 for the rest of me. SPF is a log scale, so you're talking about some seriously diminishing returns with the SPF 80 stuff. Really, with anything above about 50.

I like Neutrogena Ultra Sheer. It goes on very light, which I like for my face.

this stuff. seriously. my sister is an aestician (sp?) and gave me a bottle because i am prone to breakouts. i use the max sport and its not greasy and days where i know i am going to be outside i will even put it on under my makeup. no greasy-ness and it stays put through my runs

I like this one for my face too. I have some random banana boat stuff for the rest if me.

For face, I like the liquid silk/liquid sheer products - L'oreal Sublime or Neutrogena ultra sheer. They are a bit pricy for such a small bottle, but work great for my face. I almost always wear a hat, so I do not apply it on my forehead - to avoid breakouts or running in my eyes.

For body, I like Neutrogena wet skin spray - blue bottle spray can. I got a full size bottle as a sample last fall and have really been loving it. Bonus, it can be reapplied to sweaty skin and I don't find it to be as sticky as most.

DO NOT PUT THIS ON  YOUR FACE.

I did this once and I was half blind 20-minutes into my bike ride.  It bewilders me how people who make a SPORT sunscreen cannot figure out a way to make it not attack your eyeballs.  Obviously you are going to sweat.

I use my kids' sunblock which is just good old zinc and titanium oxide.
