45...pfft. Gotta get that good shit. All joking aside, I had skin cancer when I was younger, so I have tried many sunscreens, and I really like Neutrogena's sunscreen line. Plus nearly every dermatologist I have been too (many many different ones over the years, due to insurance changes) recommends them to me, even though I already use it. It's not real greasy going on and actually dries so your skin doesn't stay all sticky/ greasy like other ones. Plus they go really high in spf.
go to the ladies makesup section in stores, there are higher end sunscreens & lotions for your face that are way better than regular sunscreen lotions.
I'm up in austin and use nutrigina face shield stuff, works fantastic and doesn't feel greasy or thick at all. spf 100+
this is what i used, you can find it at HEB
I"ve also found the 'sweat guttr' is a great little head band to keep sweat out of your eyes, bought one the other day, and its awesome ( and made in tx )
I don't know of any AS with SPF out there, and I wouldn't use it personally. Even make-up with SPF, which is already much thicker than AS, is much less effective than dedicated sunblock.
As in a lot of ways, I'd strongly suggest purchasing products produced in the EU, or that are sold in the EU. Why? Because health regulations are much stronger there than in the US, and there much more chemicals banned there that are still allowed in the US. I personally use this on top of the AS, and moisturizer.

Be careful as there are some similar ones, but it must say UVB and Helioplex SPF 100.
After one year of wearing it (just on my hands which is my main area of concern) I didn't experience any more bumps. I stopped wearing it after one year to see what would happen and I did not have bumps for the following 3 years. Now it's been 4 years (1 with cream, 3 without) and I have a few bumps again. I'm going back to daily use (not taking any chances for a full blown hand covering) for the next year and try this process again. It's been my ONLY relief after trying a ton of different products.
Mom is a mail woman and looking for new sunscreen. She's been using Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen, Broad Spectrum Spf 100 for forever and wanted me to reorder more. I was wondering just how effective it is.
Is there better sunscreen for same price per fluid ounce? I know it's recommended for sunscreen to be broad scope and at least 30 if not 50 spf. However, I've also read that some suncreens may say spf 30/50 but in actuality be 12-18 or the like.
How good is the one my mom uses?
I use this one because it's the cheapest in their Ultra Sheer range when I ordered,and I liked it and stuck to it. Not sure how SPF beyond 40-50 really matters, but this one is pretty waterproof over an hour of swimming. It has avobenzene in it, so its still a chemical sunscreen. It has no white cast and I'm NC 40 in summer.
I use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen SPF 100. I've found that it works very well for me. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave me greasy like some can. I have noticed a bit of a white cast if not careful, however.
I used to exclusively use Bullfrog SPF 50 but I'm having an awful time finding it now, so I went to the Neutrogena and love it.
A quick search for some random skin care products:

I used to live in Arizona for a brief time.
If it were my first trip, I’d bring:
sunscreen with a high spf level that isn’t strong smelling
splinter removal kit in case of cacti needles
Have fun and thank you for the contest! 👋🏻

Every traditional sunscreen I've ever used on my face ended up in my eyes so my choices were don't sweat (ha!), don't leave the house/car, or wear a hat. I tried cheap, expensive, waterproof, creams, lotions, sticks, sprays, you name it. I finally found the Neutrogena Dry Touch line and it's the best I've ever used. I can use it on my face and it Stays Put even when I'm dripping.
Since you are going to be outside all day, my personal choice is long sleeves but I'm extremely fair skinned and the sun and I aren't on speaking terms. I've found sunscreen + yardwork just equals sticky mud on my arms so I'd rather just sweat into my shirt. I often pair a tight fitting long sleeve under a short sleeve shirt. This keeps the sleeves out of the way, act as sunscreen, and protects against arm abrasions as well. In cooler weather I can still throw a looser long sleeve over the tight fitting undershirt for additional warmth.
I also wear a bandanna even under hats (tie the knot down low) as they are fantastic for catching sweat before running into your eyes or down your neck, keeping hair out of your face, and for keeping your hat from getting nasty in a couple of days. I bought a dozen inexpensive cotton ones from amazon so I can freely rotate them so I'm not doing laundry every other day in the summer.
If your core strength isn't as high as you'd prefer, consider starting a core routine first thing in the morning or a core strengthening and back stretching yoga routine after work. This may be the one thing that prevents you from wiping out your back. When you are working be mindful of how you are lifting, carrying, and moving things as those movements will become habit very quickly. If you can train those movements correctly in the first place, you won't have to think about them when you are going full tilt. This is my current challenge as I've already damaged my back from when I was younger and "invincible." *snorts* The back stretches may not feel like much but, since the back is nothing more than a bunch of little tiny muscles, it doesn't take much to piss them off, or to stretch them out .
I have small hands with odd finger lengths so I never buy gloves by size, only by fit. Once I found a pair of gloves I liked, I test drove them for a few weeks of heavy work, then bought half a dozen pairs online. Consider getting a "rough duty" glove for the really nasty stuff that doesn't require as much dexterity, and a pair for everyday usage that you can comfortably run equipment with.
If you find your hands are getting too cold, look for winter work gloves like truckers or ranchers would use; they will reduce dexterity, but they are insulated. Also grab a package of the one time use heat packs so when you have a spare minute, you can warm your hands up.
Finally make sure you are drinking enough water throughout the day. Between this and the back care you will be able to work longer without pain, and Live longer without a bad back.
Cheers!
So I just found this sunscreen on amazon maybe it could help you?
Yes.
