Sun Screen

for face and neck. Everything else is covered.

I'm a sweathog and burn easily. Coppertone Sport has worked quite well for me. Perhaps those ingredients will eventually kill me but with multiple skin cancers in my past I'm more concerned about preventing the known problems rather than the theoretical ones.

Though I did use the cover up tactic in the grand canyon recently, in very hot weather, with sunscreen just on my face and backs of hands and it worked well. But it was a raft trip and I wasn't exerting heavily. Sun hoodie with brimmed cap worked pretty well.

Coppertone spf 30. Get the one that smell like coconut. That smell is nice!

Neutrogena, coppertone sport, and bull frog are all good. Gotta stay covered up and reapply though because it gets very intense in the alpine. More intense the closer the date is to the summer solstice. Also watch for those little trouble spots like the wrists inside of the nose brow line etc. I always wear a buff on my head now to protect my neck and brow line. Last weekend I wore my goggles on the skin up and then put on my helmet over my goggles so I wouldn't have to take anything off when I transitioned.

I avoid all chemical (oxybenzone, etc) based sunscreens and use only non nano zinc oxide. Better for my skin/body and the planet.

But most importantly I use clothing to protect and if my tour is shorter I'll do it really early or late in the day. I always wear pants, long sleeves, gloves, hat and face cover no matter how hot.

Currently for sunscreen I use Thinkbaby 50+. It protects super well but must be reapplied often. VERY OFTEN...every 45 mins. I am ok with the constant reapplication. I keep the tube accessible so I can apply and keep moving.

I spent last Sunday at the beach in full sun with my redhead son. He spent 7 hours in the sun with the Thinkbaby sunscreen. Reapplied 3 times. He did not get burned.

I use Bulfrog, for ears, nose neck, and zinc for under nose and lips. If I think of it, I like to apply the Bulfrog first thing, (per the instructions) and it really seems to last better, and it gives me a chance to wash the nasty stuff off my hands! I think it's bad stuff, but I'm a Lilly white boy, who has spent way too much time outside unprotected. Like to cover up with clothing as much as I can, but can't handle a buff.
