Hey SBGs, what is your favourite sunscreen to use? The internet and these forums seem to be full of information that is fairly consistent about the best types of shaving creams to use and routine but there doesn't seem to be much information about sunscreens. There doesn't appear to be many kinds that cater or market to men with shaved and bald heads. HeadBlade discontinued one. Banana Boat sells sunscreen for scalps in the US. There is BeeBald sunscreen however up here in Canada you can only buy it online and its $13.99 for 50mL and I'd have to spend $35 for free shipping. Based on the size, it would be cheaper to buy Jack Black Face Moisturizer which has SPF 20. I'm looking for something that is SPF 30.
What kind do you use?
-
I have used Jack Black in the past need to look for it online.
-
I use whatever sunscreen we have in the kitchen at the time. It is always SPF-50.
It doesn't get used on the dome often as I'll usually wear a hat or bandanna to ward of the brutal Perth summer sun.
Still, I'll follow this with interest to see if there are good options available.

I have my eyes on Palmer's Bald Balm https://www.amazon.com/Palmers-Cocoa-Butter-Formula-Mens/dp/B07119X5W3/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1547158830&sr=8-3&keywords=bald+balm which I'm going to buy this Spring.
Anybody else tried it?
-
I just use what ever is cheap. I do not use daily since I work in an office. I am adjusted enough that if I am going to be out an of hours or less, I do not use it. But If I will be outside for an extended time, I use it.
-
Generally I don’t use any. I much prefer a wide brim hat .
-
I use Neutrogena spray sucnscreen.. It is NOT greasy, dries quickly, does not run off when I sweat, and does not come off in the pool. It washes off easily in the shower with soap and water.
-
Neutrogena SPF 50 face cream ... totally no grease and feels dry within minutes. Great stuff.
-
I use a sunscreen on spray from Nivea SPF 50 almost everyday to protected my tattoos and of course,my bald dome.
-
Do tattoos burn easily, or does the sun fade the color?

The sun can fade the color if you're not careful

I hear that water base and mineral sunscreens are the best.

i'm not even sure what this is made of, but it's the best I've ever used. i use it year round. it takes 3 seconds to apply and lasts all day.
-
I found something else that works. Sorry.

@chrisphilly123 how much do you pay for the Kiehl's sunscreen?
-
@chrisphilly123 how much do you pay for the ?
25-30 bucks. They do run sales, 2nd one 1/2 price. I get cards in the mail once 'n a while. Then order a bunch of 'em.
They got spf30 and spf50. i don't notice much difference between them.

That's because there is not a lot of extra benefit above 30 SPF. SPF 50 is about as high as you would ever want to buy.

I bought Neutrogena Ultra Sheer SPF 50. Where I live, it comes in 2 sizes and the bigger size costs the same amount as HeadLube of the same size. So far I like it, it leaves my head feeling super soft. It almost feels like I have nothing on my scalp even though I use a generous amount everyday.

don't be afraid to wear a cap on days when the sun is crazy hot. Any sunburn on top of the old skull is the WORST!

Mine was Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Moisturizing Gel Oil with SPF 15. I got it at the local Walgreen's and it was great. It both moisturized the noggin and gave it some protection as well. Never had a sunburned head! ;D
