Reasonably priced daily sun cream with good UVA rating

[sleepwouldbenice]

Hi all
I have always used foundation with a UVB sunscreen but need to up my game and apply a daily sunscreen to about SPF 30 and with a UVA star rating of 4 or 5. Strangely my googling isn't finding strong reference to the latter so it's getting exasperating
Can anyone recommend anything that fits the bill please? Ideally also non sunscreen smelling and £20 or less
Finally a dumb question, I assume you apply after the moisturiser in the am but before makeup?

Thanks in advance!!

I use Biore Aqua Rich under foundation and I am very pleased with it

The Boots Soltan range have 5 stars.

Also I think the L'Oreal ones with menexoryl (??) have 4 stars.

Yes about application. Use a primer over it if its a bit sticky.

Hi Sleep
I’ve been researching the same! I purchased Clinique City block spf 40 today (£19 in Boots for 40ml so a good size). It has fab reviews, I haven’t tried it on my face yet (will be tomorrow!) so I’m hoping it’s going to work for me. Apparently you should apply after moisturiser before foundation.

La Roche Posay Anthelios. It's pretty much the gold standard for facial sunscreens

I usually like Asian sunscreens but I’ve been pretty impressed with Altruist. Incredibly cheap for the amount of product you get, is British so you don’t have to wait weeks for it to turn up from the far East and doesn’t leave a white cast.

Oh (hopping in on this thread) Thanks for that link Talisin ...just ordered some, as I started an outdoor job this week and was looking for something I can wear daily!

I love mumsnet. Write a post before you go to bed and by magic answers arrive the next day! Thanks all!
