The summer is coming upon us very rapidly here in Florida, and with that I have noticed that my runs are becoming more and more sweaty. I have progressed in the last 6 weeks from long sleeves to short sleeves, now to tank tops. I am not complaining, running in the heat is my thing!! I am very comfortable with the heat, and can not help feel that the more I sweat, the more work I am doing.
Anyway, the point of this blog is to talk about sunscreen!! I have never used it on any run before (and have never gotten burned), but after a conversation with a dermatologist, I am thinking that I might start. My runs are early morning, 7:00-8:00 on short runs and 5:00 am-9:30 on my longest long run. So my question is, do I really need to sunscreen up every day? If so, what kind of screen should I use? My eyes are very sensitive and I am worried that when I sweat the sunscreen will run and burn my eyes.
I am going to probably give a try and see how it goes (it always seems better to be safe) I guess that will mean that I will have to get up a little earlier!!
I would appreciate any advice on the best type of screen, etc.

I wear face sunscreen for every run and do chest/shoulders/arms if it is peak hours. I use a combo moisturizer/SPF 15 from Avon that I love and I have no problem with it when running. Since it is meant for everyday use, it also doesn't have that sunscreen smell to it. I have skin cancer in my family, so I put it on my face every morning, even in the winter.
Living in Louisiana - I hear ya on the heat and humidity and MASSIVE sweat that it brings. :) I sunscreen up my face every run and wear a Brooks running hat - which I LOVE. I also wear a dry sport 30 spf spray sunscreen during my long runs.
For the face I like Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Sun-Damage Daily Moisture Lotion spf 28. I wear this everyday regardless, but find it doesn't seem to run or sting my eyes when I sweat. I also like the Coppertone spf 30 sport stick for my face because it doesn't run, but can get a little greasy. I totally recommend buying a running hat. I got mine a few months ago and now I won't run without it. It keeps the sun off my face and the inner band helps keep the sweat off my eyes - and you just throw it in the wash and hang-dry. No special cleaning involved.
Great blog! Glad I stopped by!
