Sweat in your eyes not only interrupts your working in the yard, but it also can be painful, especially if you wear sun screen. Here are a couple of ideas that work for me.

First, here is a product I ordered online from Walmart: 3B Face Saver. It is a gel antiperspirant that works well on the face. I use it on the back of my neck as well. Be sure to use it under your sunscreen.

Second, here is a specially designed head band by Halo. The headband is made with a cooling fabric that wicks away moisture from your body. Inside you'll find a thin rubber strip that channels perspiration away from your eyes. Sweat does trickle to the sides of your face, but at least it stays out of your eyes. It comes in single band and also tie-on style. Look online and also on Ebay.
