Great topic boatfisher ... really glad you bring this up.
Years ago, TubeDude described how he stood in front of the mirror on mornings before going out fishing. Once he was done admiring how handsome he was, he would begin the ritual of carefully and liberally rubbing in sun screen all over his face, neck, and other exposed skin. Ever since then, I have done the same (minus the beauty admiration). It only makes sense. Yea, I get funny looks from the folks at Maverick gas station because my face is all shiny looking, but that shine goes away after about an hour.
I pay special attention to some pre-cancer hot spots on my cheeks, the top of my nose, and ears.
Addopting that ritual of applying a good liberal dose of sun block before each outing, is a VERY important step in the preparation of my fishing trips.
My favorite sunscreen is 60 SPF "No-Add" sun screen from Walmart. It has no fragrance and doesn't wash of easily. One good thorough application lasts all day.
Caution: Never put sun screen above your eyes. If you do, the sweat from your forehead will bring sunscreen into your eyes and burn them. Besides, your hat is probably protecting your forehead anyway.
