Ideas for a sunscreen concept that applies well to the tip of my nose? #asknostr

Seriously, I can be out riding all day, and my arms are reddened, but not on fire. My cheeks rosy, not burnt. The tip of my nose? Hamburger. Blistered. Not all that painful, but I know this can't be good for it.

I've really stopped wearing sunscreen (and as a fair-complexioned red head with freckles that prefers "bluey" to "ginger", this is really something). The only real sore spot I've had was right there on my nose. Besides, everything else, generally easy enough to cover up if it gets a little hot.

And I don't want to just give in and start using commercial coppertone, unless it really is the best play here.

Does carmex work on your nose? I use it for chapped lips while riding. Or is that just weird?

I’ve never used Carmex when on a bike on my nose. If it works then why not?

Zinc oxide has worked to prevent nose burns in the past. 🙏

It’s ok to use m, but just on the very outside. It’s bad news if you put it on the inside of your nostrils and it finds its way into your sinuses, at least that’s what I’ve heard

Zinc oxide or Carmex? Lol.

Carmex

I originally used it when I was out on my bmx bike for a long time in the cold, my nose would get so dry it would crack and bleed so I just figured “what could possibly go wrong?”
