I'm looking for the holy grail! I need a good sunscreen for the face that wears well under makeup. Anybody have any recommendations?
Im also looking for a body sunscreen-mostly to use on hands and arms? I've been in the car a lot this past week and I'm beginning to brown! It's nice to have a healthy glow but it's made me realise I need to stepup my sunscreen game Blush

I've just started wearing Sunsense as my everyday moisturiser, and it has a lovely texture. I also use the La Roche Posay tinted spf50 as a bb cream if I want an all in one.

For the rest of me (and face if I was going to be outside all day, or doing sport) I use P20 as its one application.

Nivea protect and refresh spray for body is good, clear liquid that comes out in a fine spray and dries very quickly.

Banana boat do a Powder Dri sun lotion which is dry once on and smells divine.

I'm wearing Ultrasun Face successfully under make up and their Family one when I need it for arms etc. Best sun screen I've ever used.

Piz buin do a 'dry' face lotion factor 30 which I've just started using under make up, good so far.

Hi, I'm new! Smile
Another vote for banana boat powder dri (for body) or piz buin anti allergy spray which is more moisturising but very light. However I'm yet to find one for the face that I like and I have tried ALOT! My skin is ridiculously sensitive/reactive, dehydrated, dry but prone to congestion and breakouts Confused I am considering trying dermalogica solar defense booster this year.

I like Green People one for sensitive skin

In fact it is the only one I like!

Was given a trial size in my beauty box and have just bought more

Boots Soltan Baby Sensitive SPF50. Seems to last all day and fine under makeup, doesn't clog my skin. It is quite white, but I'm pale anyway - under foundation it just leaves a bit of a glow which is fine.

I'm Asian so the white cast left by sunscreen shows up loads! I find it really difficult to find one that works Confused
