sun screen recommendation?

[Bill Taylor]

Hello All!

Can anyone please recommend a sunscreen that’s good for cycling?

I ask because I use the Neutrogenea 60 SPF that’s readily available at Costco, and while it’s great at stopping a sun burn; it does seem to resurface on my skin after it’s been rubbed in, resulting in a ‘pastry-white’ appearance. I also find it almost makes me more sweaty as compared to riding without sunscreen?

Looking for a sunscreen that doesn’t interfere with cooling in excessive heat, such as one could have experienced yesterday.

Cheers,

Bill Taylor

I was in my Walmart Equate Sport 30 yesterday and quite comfortable for
more than 5 hrs of pedalling. It goes on white, but disappears before I
leave the house and never looks white on my skin.

They also have a spray-on Sport 30 that is very good for the forehead;
it doesn't drip into my eyes. A bit more costly and I don't use a lot of it.

I was cycling in Scotland and a doctor on this ride with me pointed out a very small spot on the side of my nose, He told me to have it checked out as soon as I got home. I went to a clinic here in Havana and was told that I have a form of cancer and needed to have it removed. This was done rather rapidly (within days ).  Once all was healed, I returned to the clinic and was diagnosed with another form of cancer. This new form was not operable, there was an experimental  treatment and I was offered a place in a group of 240 volunteers in Cuba. I was advised that it would be painful and it was! Twice a week I'd go to the clinic and an intern from Mexico would inject a cocktail of two types of interferon into my smooze, usually 5 shots per session, it was so painful I would lose count.At one point the doctor showed me the results of his work, a bright green small pea-like piece had been pushed out of my skin. I think the treatment went on for 6 weeks and I was discharged as a successful case. With mental pictures of Endmond Hillary wearing a nose guard on Everest, I thought I would easily find such a nose guard. wrong! My son eventually found something on the web at Nazkon.com. One size fits all, just cut to size and loop it over the bridge of your sunglasses.Now worried about the rest of my noggin, I did some research about sun screen and read that anything claiming to be over 60 SPF was a bogus claim, so I stuck with 60 from Neutrogena.That was my choice until I spotted Neutrogena 100+ in a pharmacy in Miami. My thought was it is possibly a lie but I am having that. You need to replenish every 80 minutes, a habit I have not conformed with, it is not easy to be fixing your makeup while on a ride.

I never go on a longish ride without the nose guard. 

from Havana,
