I finally found out why my face gets so red on the ride in, and it's not the pedaling
So a bike mechanic in Portland mentioned offhand that sunscreen on your face traps heat and sweat way more than people realize, and that a lot of commuters get flushed cheeks from that and not from the effort. I tried riding in without it on a cool morning and my face was way less red when I got to the office. But now I'm torn because I burn easy and skipping sun protection feels dumb. Anyone got a sunscreen that doesn't turn your face into a little greenhouse on the way to work?

Huh, but sweat is what cools you down, so trapping it doesn't really explain the red face.
