So I've used various SF50's for years (Nivea, Ambre Solaire etc) and am always a bit pink despite copious amounts used. My face would get horrible cystic spots, blocked pores so last summer (for Portugal) I had La Roche Posey SPF50 and it was brilliant. I didn't burn, just lots of freckles. The last 2 days I'm more than pink. I know its hot, I'm applying regularly AND Im sitting regularly in the shade but still I'm pink ... What to do ?!?! Is there stronger in effective facial skincare? Or is it because I'm getting older (just turned 43)? We are off to Portugal in July and am getting quite worried. I've always taken care of my skin, will buy a good sun hat but what else do I do ?!? 5 year old will want me in the pool/beach at times (as will I).
