Other Help- Sunblock for face that won't wear off fast?

[sxi steve]

My face (esp my nose) is taking a beating in the sun! You guys use a good sunblock that won't wear off? I'm ready to put on that war paint stuff (if I can find it) and look like a dork to save my nose! Got any good products???

any pure zink block product.. little secret is that desitin (baby but creme) is a great zink product that can be used as a sunblock

I have used this stuff called P20 http://www.p20.co.uk/

put it on once and forget about it for the rest of the day out on the water.

a lot of people have issues with the alcohol based products around thier eyes.

bullfrog is a great product also.

Helmet and visor work good and protect the head...

Coppertone Sport spray (in the blue bottle). You can get it at Wal-Mart. I spray it on once and I'm good for the day.

My Skin Doctor recommended Bull Frog to me for water sports.
The 50spf is like the war paint, get the 30spf.

When ever I’m surfing for long periods of time, especially in the tropics where the sun is the harshest I use Head Hunter face sticks. It’s a zinc based sun block that comes in several shades to match individual skin tones. It’s a total sun block out that lasts all day and works especially well on your nose. They also make war paint.

i heard Clark Howard on the radio talking about sunscreen. Apparently cheaper sunscreen works the best based on consumer reports... The NO-AD is the best.

the no ad is good stuff, we ( family) have been using store brand and the ocean potion brand all season. the faces zinc is great and the kids spray lasts longer than the others

I hate the alchohol based sprays, I like the lotion based sprays. Coppertone Sport has been doing the job for me for over 10 years. Personally, I like the good old lotion.

X2 helmet visor makes a big difference and then you don't have to put sun screen on your forehead which gets in your eyes...Walmart's brand 50 block stays on good and it's $7.50 per pound !

blue lizard - Australian sunscreen (made in TN !) I too am a fan of the lotion sunscreens. This stuff rocks. A little expensive but you don't have to use much. Takes a while to rub in but doesn't sweat out and burn my eyes like others. According to local news they can't meet consumer demand right now.

Aloe Gator ... trust in it.

It's as thick as grease, and you look shiny as hell when you're wearing it, but the stuff NEVER wears off. I'm about as pale as they get, and this is the only sunscreen I've ever found that keeps me from getting burned. I can't find it anywhere locally, so I order it online.

I learned about it when I lived in Key Largo, and the local dive captains swore by it. They were on the water 8 hours a day, 300+ days a year, in and out of the water. It's awesome...
