The latest sunblocks and sunscreens contain exciting – and effective – new technology for people who like to sweat outdoors.

And, most exciting, newer chemical ingredients that prolong the effects of UVA screening are now available. Today, challenge yourself to inventory your sports sun protection and invest in a newer, more effective product.

    There’s a burts bees all natural, it’s a little dry, but good for your face and shoulders. Also, becareful with your Zinc intake. Zinc Poisoning can occur if you have 10x the recommended dosage. Doesn’t really apply to most of us though, unless you take too many vites and use polygrip.

    Since I prefer to spend most of my free time outdoors in sunny so-cal, I’ve tried many difference brands of sunscreen and sunblock. I have a new favorite that works great and was recommened by my derm doc. The product name is Procyte. The main ingredient is Micronized titanium dioxide.

    I have tried the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer 85 as well. It worked really well in the South Florida humidity.

    I need to do this. I have lots of sunscreens left over from last year. We go through alot of sunscreen, so I’m sure we’ll be getting more this Summer.

    I went and bought Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer spf 85 (waterprof/sweatprof) because I can use it under my makeup. I live in Arizona and need something with a high spf…trust me, walking to and from ANYWHERE in 112 degree heat in July/August warrants spf 85! lol Love it so far.

    Does anyone have any favorite brands? Perhaps some websites that would sell natural sport sunblock? Thanks!
