Anyone have any suggestions for sunscreen that is good with running? Something that would help keep the bugs away would be amazing as well, but maybe asking for too much

I use Coppertone Sport spray-on. It doesn't sweat off or wash off too easily. It doesn't do bugs, but it works pretty well for the sun. It also does not need to be spread around with your fingers if you don't want to.

I use Neutrogena sunscreen. Is there sunscreen that will keep the bugs away? If there is i would love to get one to. Usually I don't worry about the bugs if I'm running. They would usually die if they touch me because my arms are so wet from sweat or sticky from the sunscreen.

Hope that helps,

Elaine

I've thought about a product like this for about 10 years, and then a couple of years ago, blammo here it is:

I've never used the stuff, but it is supposed to be a 2-in-1 product. Might be worth checking out!

I was wondering if anyone else find sunscreen makes running harder?

Particularly if you spend the day in the garden or at the beach applying it all over; then go for a run in the evening. I've found my runs to be really tough at this time of year, and suspect it is because the lotion is blocking up my pores.

Anyone got any experience?
