Anyone committed to wearing sunscreen routinely knows they are not all created equal. Wearing sunscreen every day to simply protect from basic exposure is one thing, but what if you are engaging in some serious exercise or adventuring?
This is a totally different story. Picking a sunscreen for coverage is important, but it also needs to hold up when forced to contend with the elements. Sun, sweat and rain can leave you with chalky, streaking sludge running down your face. Sometimes there is no avoiding this, but if you start with the right product, it goes a long way to improving this.
Aveeno Protect and Hydrate SPF 30 is a good option for everyday activity and it won’t leave you with streaking after a run because it actually absorbs into the skin. It holds up for a solid hour of strenuous activity. It is available at most drugstores for about $14.
Another option with a higher SPF is Neutrogena Ulta Sheer Dry Touch 45. This lasts a little more than an hour, but absorbs a little slower than others, so using more might be necessary. It is available at most drugstores for $12.
Lastly, Avene Ultra-Light Hydrating Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ is a good investment if you want to add extra protection to your face while being active outdoors. This sunscreen runs about $24, but is mineral based, absorbs well and does not irritate sensitive skin.
