A skullcap would be fine as long as it has sun protective fabric. If not, then hold it up to the sun and it you see light through it then it will not help as much as you think. Better than nothing. The Elta MD sport sunscreen is what i recommend to my athletic patients as it is relatively sweat resistant and does not sting your eyes when you are sweating.
This may be overkill but look at this product

Thn9, thanks. I went to Pubmed directly before asking, but used the proprietary name for my search. Didnt think of using polypodium. Will look through this.
Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.
News was saying something about discovering sunscreen being absorbed into the bloodstream. Is that an issue?
I do not like to slather questionable chemicals on my skin. I prefer to cover up.
Cooling sleeves on my arms, Cooling towel tucked in my collar, long pants, short sleeve shirt, hat and ear muffs darn near covers all exposed skin. On really hot days I will dunk the towel in the melted ice in my cooler. The arm sleeves I occasionally pour some water on them. I've never come close to getting a burn on my face with a brimmed cap. My hands will get tanned but never burned.
Great post, and thanks. I’ve had 3 surgeries for SCC on my nose. I’m extremely serious about sunscreen now, and have been for many years. Unfortunately much of the damage occurred when I was young and stupid. Cover up and lather up. I definitely recommend not having your nose cut on more than once.
I had a MM removed from my arm in 1996. It scared the sheet out of me. MM can and will kill you. I have bi-annual skin checks, wear sun-protective clothing, limit sun exposure, and religiously use sunscreen. So far, so good. Thanks for reminding PF members about the danger of sun exposure. It's real. Trust me.
