North Shore Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 No need to put sunblock on your forehead or around your eyes if you wear a helmet with visor and decent sunglasses. I put it on my ears, nose and the rest of my face below the eyes. No eye irritation....This is really terrible and irresponsible advice. You will still burn with a visor and glasses, up to 10% of skin cancers occur on or around the eyelid. Even the wraparound sunglasses don't protect you adequately. You should go for a UV filtered photograph and you'll see all the deep tissue damage this practice has caused you. http://www.skincancer.org/prevention/sun-protection/for-your-eyes/the-eyelids-highly-susceptible-to-skin-cancer
Odinson Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I imagine there's a shelf life on them though. Surely after a number of washes their efficacy diminishes.Also tell me if you find them uncomfortably hot especially in the heat we having. Did a long ride with the protectors on Sunday and they seem to be quite effective. They're a tad warm, but it's not unbearable. Didn't even notice them after a while. A hell of a lot better than roasting my arms.
King_Crispy Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I'm happy with the little tube of 50spf Piz Buin which I use for my ears and face. The rest I just use Piz Buin 15. I will admit I'm starting to develop a bit of a 2 tone thing, but it gets better in winter...
