Sunscreen

I have read many times the importance of applying sunscreen even when wearing a compression sleeve. My question is what kind is best? Most of my sunscreens are a bit tacky and make it very difficult to put my sleeve on. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

You are in the US? Try Coppertone 'whipped' Water Babies product. (It's for kids, but should do the job!) Factor 50. Absorbed quickly, so should not be tacky.

Banana Boat also does 'Dry Balance' spray application sunscreen - also Factor 50.
