The head blade lotion/sunscreen is awful. I use one of two things...either Neutrogena's ultra-sheer dry touch 45spf or Banana Boat Sport Quick Dry 40spf for Body/Scalp. I use the Neutrogena (recommended by my dermatologist) on regular days when I do use it and the Banana Boat when I'm out working in the yard or swimming if I know I'm going to be doing a lot of sweating or going to get wet. Typically I wear a hat if going to be outdoors for a long time. There is no such thing as a "healthy tan."

I'd suggest Caribbean Blue SPF 50. Don't forget to reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours, but probably better with every 2 hours.

So far, not been applying and sunscreen on my head at all. Probably expose my bald head to the skies for about an hour day. And here in London, we have some sunshine. I'd like to get some colour.
But....need to start thinking about applying some screen.
Which means my head will soon go through six daily procedures:
Headshed exfoliate
Headblade slick
The actual shaving
Witch hazel
Moisturiser matte or gloss
Sun screen.
The things we do to maintain the bald look.

I've had good luck with this....
I spent a week in Florida last year and never wore a hat. I just made sure that I applied this regularly and I was good. I don't recall it being too greasy either. -

So what tips to others here have for getting a good colour to the dome, without dangerously ruining your head with sun burn ?
At the moment, getting a bit sun now and again. Colour is coming along.
I'm lucky in that I have mediterranean type brown eyes/skin tone. So I tan well. But this will be the first summer of bald. Don't want to ruin my head and health for the sake of a sunny look.

How about a sunless tanner?
That way the potential damage can be avoided.

I'm looking for recommendations on which ones are least likely to run. Even before I started shaving, I've always had issue with sunscreen running from my forehead into my eyes. I wear contacts and this is a real problem when it happens.
I've tried sport and waterproof ones with little luck. It's usually on the golf course (with a ball cap on as well) about an hour to 2 hours into the round - and if it doesn't happen then, it seems to creep in on the drive home.
Thus any feedback on the ones that are most sweatproof would be appreciated (or that are non-irritating to the eyes, hmm they make baby shampoo that is easy on the eyes, maybe suncreen??) -

Many thanks might give it a whirl , with a bit of retail therapy as I am not going to Berlin on holiday very disappointed
