yeah, i say 30+. don't risk it.

some of the lotions, Kiehl's, contain sunblock. prob the way to go.

Hey Guys,
My first time posting anything here; glad to be on board.
I have had far too much experience with skin cancer, so I tend to be more conservative than some other guys.
My take is an SPF 30 is the way to go BUT that means you'll need to reapply it fairly frequently since it sweats off at varying rates depending on temp, humidity, how many times you rub your hands on your head, etc.
The best protection (and I know this isn't what you wanted to hear) is a hat! We think of tanning as healthy but the fact of the matter is that it's still damaging skin and the skin on our heads can be pretty sensitive, especially if you're newly bald/shaven. Personally, I hate wearing a hat but I'm a trail runner and there is no way I can use sunscreen that will last and/or stay out of my eyes.

chrisphilly123:
excellent advice. thanks for sharing.

Hi All-

Any good dermatologist will tell you that every man should use at least an SPF of 30 daily. The trouble is most are sticky...but thats way our Complete Face Care Lotion is different as it is non-greasy while offering this protection. Hope this helps!

Agree with ZoD , during bright sun wear a wide brim hat. You will be sorry in a few years if you didn't.
