UV Triplegard 15 UV Triplegard 15 sports gel Banta "Oil-free faces" 30+ Banta gel (forgot the SPF) Banana Boat Ultra 15+ Johnson & Johnson (forgot the SPF) Coppertone Utrashade sunblock stick 23+ Rosken Solar Block sunstick 15+ Zinc cream
The gel types use alcohol as a solvent, are easy to apply and claim sweat resistance, but leave a "painted with varnish look". The Banana Boat Ultra 15+ is OK as long as you keep it well away from your eyes! I cannot find the Johnson & Johnson one any more, so I'm currently using the UV Triplegard lotion which is OK, but is a typical oil/water based emulsion which leaves a greasy residue.
Any other recommendations ? What do the professional road cyclists use, or do they just get sun burnt every day ?
I go for a long sleeve jersey, I reckon it's a toss-up between being a little warmer from having your arms covered and a little warmer by having your pores blocked with gunk... ok maybe it's not that bad, but sun-cream isn't very good for you, and I don't like that greasy feeling - and then I *always* wipe it in my eyes.
I use Face of Australia lotion all over & i was a person that never applied sunscreen till this year & Im 41...................... This stuff is not bad..... BG.

I use just the cheapo SPF30+ from Coles on my arms and legs - auScreen in a blue bottle.
For my face I like the new sunscreen for sensitive skin from BareZone - it is a pure physical sunscreen with no chemical sunscreens. It is white and thick but rubs in really well and work great.

Hi I like that y'all are using SPF 15. SPF 15 means 14/15 sun drop, or 93.3%. SPF 30 means 29/30 sun drop, or 96.7%. Small change. The slight increase in sun drop requires harsher chemicals. This is from an article I saw in a Woman's magazine a few years ago.
To be fair, that was a US magazine. Most of the US is further from the equator than Australia. 39 degrees from the equator, I use SPF 15, after some experimenting for the lowest SPF that prevents sunburn and going beyond a mild tan.
A dermatologist on a bike ride said UVa and UVb protection was important. I think all sunscreens have that by now.

SPF15+ = *MIN* 14/15 drop (could be 28/29) SPF30+ is always that much better

sod being fashionable, where possible keep yourself covered. A couple of long-sleeved shirts are perfect for me & 15spf+ sunscreen on the legs/face. Already have had biopsies performed on several suspective freckles. I sooner prefer cycling in non-trendy clothing rather than having to deal with the long-term problems due to not avoiding skin damage.
