Sunscreen

[cheetahhead]

Now that we are getting to the time of the year when the sun's rays are more direct and the clothing worn by runners is more and more revealing , sunscreen becomes an issue. I've got a family history of skin cancer, so I've avoided running much in the sun up until now, but longer runs and races are going to get me out there this spring and summer.

Does anyone have suggestions for a sunscreen brand that is up to the task of staying put and being effective for several hours of a summer run?

I wear a cap so I'm not worried about it running in my eyes, and I have Moeben sleeves which I will test this year for my arms. So the biggest concerns are bottom of my face, neck, and ears. Something that won't clog pores would be nice, but the first criteria are effectiveness and being sweatproof.

Thanks,

Nate

This is my favorite: www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=79568&catid=12101

Neutrogena has a great line of suncreens of strengths up to SPF 85 and they're reasonably priced.

BULL FROG. Two kinds: Oily original stuff and newer alcohol based that evaporates to a nice dry coating that you can't feel or see. Wear out on the lake ajavascript:add("%208-)")ll summer and works well.
Good Luck Dan

Have you tried Protech? One of our club's sponsors and I think members get a discount.
