How to stop windburn?!

[almrc]

Hi All

I spend a lot of time outside at the stables and riding like today was 5.5 hours. I seem to have windburn on my face and its not overly attractive! Except for covering my face up with a balaclava, what else can I do to stop windburn or isn't there anything?

Thank you

Thick layer of vaseline - again not attractive and stuff sticks to it but it does keep your skin decent!

euuurgghhhhh sounds lovely! What I dont like about vaseline is it doesnt come off does it? Just like, sticks! Which I guess is what I want really. Are there other alternatives or just vaseline and balaclava!?

Definitely not vaseline and balaclava together! You'll never get the balaclava off again

I just buy pots of nivea and slather it on regularly when going upto the yard as well as my normal moisteriser when out and about. I also invested in what looks like a cowboys face mask - bought originally for skiing, it goes over your nose and has holes in around your nose and mouth. Granted you look very dodgy but it really does stop getting your face battered! Its just a piece of fleece so you could maybe just make something similiar?
