Facial moisturiser with SPF 30+

It's probably a bit late now but I want to protect my face and neck from the sun. I generally wear make up with SPF and basic moisturiser, but want a moisturiser with a high SPF too.
Does anyone have any recomendations?

Thanks

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid.

Not prohibitively pricey, beautiful matte texture. You can probably get it in shops in the UK, but I buy it from eBay and get it shipped to Aus.

I'm sure there are other great ones out there, but I suggest not buying anything too expensive if it will deter you from using enough. Most people use nowhere near enough, which significantly lowers the protection they're getting.

It's never too late to start worrying about sunscreen. I use Estée Lauder daywear SPF 15 and Clinique CC cream on top - factor 30. I wouldn't just rely on your moisturiser as sun protection as the thickness most people apply given insufficient protection.

I would definitely use a separate facial sunscreen on top of a lighter moisturiser. Vichy and La Roche Posay do good ones, also Neutrogena dry touch.

The problem is when I'm out in the sun in the day I put sunscreen on my body but because I want to wear make up I don't apply any to my face.

How can I protect my face but still wear make up? Can I use facial sunscreen under make up?

You can use sunscreen under makeup - some are better than others but there are also SPF primers.

I'm a non makeup wearer and use Sunsense facial moisturiser SPF 50 which I love.

Lots of people on here recommend MAC Prep and Prime SPF 50 for under makeup when these threads come up which is where I'd start on the rare makeup wearing days.

Otherwise you could go for a BB/CC/tinted moisturiser with SPF but loads don't go over SPF and personally I wouldn't wear under 30.

I use a Soap and Glory BB cream 'Feel Good Factor' which is about a tenner from Boots and acts as a primer for makeup, it's spf30. Lovely texture and v light - I tried La Roche Posay but found it pore clogging.

My BB cream is spf 30, it's a Korean one as I have weird grey-beige skin. I know Avon CC cream is spf 50!

Simple do one. I used it in Spain last week and it protected my skin really well.

I use an all day one (calypso or p20) on my face., let it dry, moisturise then apply make up.

Clinique Super City Block is SPF40 and oil free and goes really well under makeup. Not that cheap but does last, and I find it works.
