I just started running, and while I run in the morning when there is less humidity, I still sweat and feel like my SPF face product is running down my face.
What face spf product do you use that you love/hate?
My skin is really sensitive and the Neutrogena sport face and ultra sheer don't seem to bother me. As a plus, they offer protection to 100+. For the rest of my skin (back, legs), Banana Boat sport also works just fine.
I love my orange-tube Banana Boat, or Proactiv. Neutrogena SPF 85 for my body; I have a sun allergy and break out in red spots if I'm not fully covered.

Another vote for the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer line, it doesn't feel greasy at all and doesn't make my skin break out either.

I know it doesn't boast the same protection as some of the others, but I use Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid Lotion Sunblock SPF 30. It is the only one (of the 1/2 dozen I have tried) that doesn't run down my face and sting my eyes. I figure it is better than running with nothing on my skin. I slather it all over my body, btw.
Another vote for Neutrogena Ultra Sheer...I use that on my face and the Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist spray everywhere else. Gotta love Costco and their sunscreen deals-between my running and J's golfing, we go through an insane amt of sunscreen every spring/summer/fall.
For my face, I always use the sunscreen marked for faces (see note above about sensitive skin). I use the spray much of the time for the rest of my body because I don't have anyone to help put it on
how long to you give it to absorb before you head out? if I don't give sunblock at least 10 min to soak in then it runs regardless of the brand. so on days when I run in the am the very first thing I do when I wake up is put sunblock on my face.
also, humidity usually peaks at the coolest time of day (the morning).
