Keeping sweat out of my eyes

• Hello everyone I am new to the forum and new to the complete Sly look. I have been losing hair for years and cutting shorter and shorter now I have been shaving for a few weeks. Feels great.
  
  Anyhow my question is how do you guys keep sweat from rolling down in you face when your working hard? I work outside a lot and prefer sunblock to a hat. Now that I have no hair on my head the sweat just rolls down to the eyebrows builds up and goes in my eyes and stings or drips into my sunglasses and then I cant see.   
  
  Any recommendations...I thought about sweatbands but I feel kinda 70's in them and I am not sure I can do a bandanna at work.

• It might sound old fashioned, but I always carry a handkerchief so I can do a quick wipe of the brow.  At the gym, I use a small towel.

• No it doesn't sound old fashioned at all. It sounds very practical. I am sure I am going to have do something similar to that. I am a heavy sweater (not the wool kind lol) so it will probably be a small towel for me. I had an idea for a device that would redirect the sweat and make it run down and back away from my face... not sure how its gonna work exactly yet. LOL

• If I'm going to be sweating that much I will use a small towel to keep it out of my eyes.
  
  I find that hats irritate me now that I'm bald.

• Simple solution for me was to cease working hard outside.  Am older and can away with that.  I also shave my brows.

• Lol Benett! I like your solution, I will probably just deal with a little burning once summer heat hits. I find that the stinging kind of subsides after a while when doing hard work or cardio, some people may be more sensitive then others though. It will be interesting to see of there will be any difference if I do decide to keep my brows shaved

• Lynchy, I am with you. I don't care to wear hats much any more now that I am sly. I like to keep the dome exposed. Sunscreen helps in the warmer sunny weather.

• You could try what the boxers do - a smear of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) over your eyebrows.
  
  This channels the sweat to make it run around your eyes and down the sides.
