Sun screen
I know there have been posts here recommending facial sun screen but cannot find them using the search bar. I am a golfer in Florida looking for a good sun screen for the face. Any recommendations?

3 ReactionsI use Eucerin Sensitive Mineral sunscreen 50 SPF. It's a zinc oxide base that leaves a very slight white sheen and has none of the dangerous chemicals.

1 ReactionHi, @maggieinfp! What a wonderful topic to re-introduce as we are changing seasons! Sun protection is a year-round concern - especially as many head south for the winter and will be spending lots of time outdoors, and even those who will be spending winter in the Northern region with snow.
I have learned to apply a daily moisturizer with sunscreen because I'm in-out- about throughout the day. When I garden or hike, I like to apply a sports sunscreen because it doesn't run when I sweat. My favorite is Neutrogena because my skin likes it. I prefer to wear sunprotective long sleeve shirt made for hiking that dries quickly instead of applying sunscreen all over neck and arms. I also wear a wide brim hat instead of a sun visor to protect my scalp and top of ears.
