RocknRolla Posted December 11, 2012 Share Try Techniblock from Dischem / Clicks. It's a spray on and not runny like normal sunscreens. ps, Island Tribe gel also recommended here: http://www.thehubsa....ck#entry1518806 used that on my face the other day...almost passed out from the alcohol evaporating....and i like alcohol....

Coenie Posted December 11, 2012 Share Techniblock is the only thing I use. I hate the creams. You get a bit high, while applying it to your face, due to the alcohol in there, but no runny SPF into your eyes on long days, and no burning either.

Big H* Posted December 11, 2012 Share Techniblock is the only thing I use. I hate the creams.

This normally happens on the downhill after you sweated on the climb and you do not need to be blind on downhills!!!!!!! Vaseline above your eyebrows or a Sweat Sucker headband works. We purchased a cream called Coverderm at a ARGUS a few years back. I use it around the eyes and forehead. No burn when you sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12man Posted December 11, 2012 Share I wish there was a sunblock that did not sting the crap out of my eyes when it mixes with sweat and runs down my face! Anyone know of sunblocks that are not tested on poor animals? Try the Island Tribe sunblock stick - does not sting my eyes like just about everything else does.

Dirtbreath Posted December 11, 2012 Share , and you have just gotten through one set, and then you want to burn something onto your head ? no no no no no no no, your christmas pressie should be one of those bandana thingy may bobs on your head (scalp) . Have a couple of buffs but they dont work so well in the heat. Nice when they are a bit moist and the breeze blows through but hot as anything when they are still dry. And I cant bring myself to put a wet buff on before the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbaobab Posted December 19, 2012 Share I get my SylvaSun at Checkers in Sandton City - Blue bottle goes for about R60 for 100 tablets i think It's not the ultimate solution to replace sunscreen and it's not going to stop you from burning but it definitely helps in certain situations - I've used it for years while riding and in particular when I used to do a lot of shallow diving and snorkeling. The only other thing that ever helped and didn't wash off in that situation was island tribe but it was mad expensive for a tiny bottle and played havoc on my masks and equipment, so I started using SylvaSun on advise from one of the skippers/spear fisherman in Mozambique and never looked back.

jmaccelari Posted December 21, 2012 Share You can still get them. I used to use them, however my dermatologist told me they are snake oil - absolutely useless. He was quite surprised people (poeple?) still use 'em... So I stick with a factor 50 sunblock and make sure I reapply regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witte Posted December 23, 2012 Share Sylvasun is still on the market, got some from our local pharmacy. It works wonders, but i cramp with them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cippo Posted December 23, 2012 Share I am also folically challenged and have had the helmet sunburn patterns... Sunscreen on top helps, as well as one of those sweat bandanas. Why not wear a cycling cap under helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
