What sun tan lotion do you use?

[Mojoman]

Whatever cheap SPF 40+ I can find in the shops I use at home and I keep a sunscreen 'stick' in my camelback to top up with.

Sounds like something Chuck Norris would say (vetseun)

What product would you use for the scalp area?

It looks very funny when your head has a few "sun spots" on it...

[HappyMartin]

I use a natural or home made product. Carrot oil mixed with Avo oil. I have very fair skin. Was a ginger before I went grey

Technibloc 40 works for me

[HowellingWulf]

Technibloc 40 ftw!

I use Vichy Capital Soleil 50+ on my legs, sun sleeves for the arms.

 

Expensive but works the best, no oily residue either.

Riemann P20 is the best that money can buy in my opinion. Its rather expensive though. Techniblock is much cheaper and works nearly as good.

I liked Vichy and it worked very well, but I found that it stained my white cycling tops at the collar and arms where it came into contact with the fabric. It made a light brown stain that was very difficult to remove from the fabric and sometimes left a permanent pinkish stain.

Sun block on the exposed bits is the easy part, getting the right amount of self tan on the covered parts my body to get an even colour all over is just hectic. Too much stress. It is like paint by numbers, except I keep smudging over the lines!

Just discovered Cetaphil Daylong Kids 50+, very water resistant, non-greasy and won't block pores. (Says so on the bottle...) Doesn't run into my eyes and not too sticky. Did well on my last long outing in the sun.

Been using this for 2 years now, never been burnt. So never felt the need for change...

Fake tan is on the Banned Substance List

Well it has done nothing for my cycling abilities. So if I'm going to be kissing the rocks everytime I ride, I might as look good doing it

[Weight Weenie]

Also on Techniblock 40 spray and seems good so far.  

 

Can anyone recommend a portable sunblock? Considering one for the Otter run.

I know they make the roll-ons but do you still need to rub it on your skin?

Ideally would like to keep my hands from being full of greasy sunblock.
