SCAPE Athletic Sunblock Review and Giveaway!
I first learned about SCAPE sunblock through Meg's blog a few months ago. Having had her own skin melanoma scare (she's fine!), she shared how she found SCAPE and could tell it worked really well. I then read more rave reviews from pro-triathlete Charisa, then later through a few other fellow bloggers including SunSafetyBarbie. By then, I just HAD to try it out myself!
So Magg's gave me a Face Stick and Sunblock to try and Vineman was the perfect 'Lab' to test it. I used the Face Stick on my face (obviously), and lathered my arms, shoulders, neck, back, and legs with the sunblock lotion approx ~20 minutes before I put on my wet suit to start my race.
The results: They both worked perfectly. I didn't get any extra color on my face or body. And this was after a wetsuit swim, ~3 hr bike ride, and half marathon. I was stoked.
I've been using the Face Stick and Sunblock for two weeks now and it's PERFECT for:
1. Anytime I go on an outdoor bike ride, run, or in the outdoor pool.
2. Putting on my kid's face before we go swimming in the afternoons! They love the feel and it smells like verbena or lemons, which is niiiice. And it's sooo easy for THEM to put it on
3. Putting on my son's chest/back on the days we swim and he doesn't want to wear a rash guard.
I also learned that Dr. Nic Martens, the scientist behind SCAPE, is the former brain child for the Neutrogena skin care. And I know I've read several 'Top Sunblock' Reviews in magazines, where Neutrogena was at the TOP.
A few more things about this product. The sunblock is UVA + UVB SPF 30+. In a rigorous scientific study, it was five times more effective than leading sport sunblock.
It is some serious sweat proof and water proof sunblock. Oh, and the lip balm is the bomb! UVA + UVB SPF 50+ with aloe, and vitamin E. Oh, and it feels super on the lips and has a sweet (not too sweet) taste. My new fave.
So, I felt inclined to reach out to SCAPE to see if I could share the SCAPE love. They said sure, and sent me some of their sunblock and lip balm to share.

Ha, ha...thanks for keeping me out of the classroom. You ARE a good friend and you totally "GET" it!!
Thanks for the review and hosting a giveaway!
Yes, I am a follower:)
Linking this for you as well.
I would LOVE to try scape. Bad but alot of times I avoid SB because I sweat so much and most of what I have tried just gets in my eyes or feels like it is blocking my pores.
I have tried Coppertone Sport in 50, Banana Boat Sport 30 in spray.
I use Nuetrogena (spelling?!) sunscreen for my face and I use the spray sunblock for my body but I'm totally going to check this stuff out asap!
