Sigh. Is there ANY high factor sun cream that won't leave me looking a greasy mess?

Just that, really. I'm on holiday with the kids in Spain atm, and it's been ridiculously hot....36/37 degrees. I'm very fair, and wouldn't go under a factor 30 normally anyway, but have been wearing f50 whilst here. I've bought 'matte' ones, 'dry touch' ones....it doesn't matter. I just look like a sweaty greasy blob in them all. Is there really any such thing as a a high factor, matte sunscreen?

A couple of weeks ago I started using Missha which seems very light-weight. I have very dry skin so I'm not sure if it would be resistant to shine. I'm also not sure if I trust it as much as the SunSense, it just feels so light-weight that I can't believe it'll really have the full SPF50.

Heliocare ultra gel spf50, it's amazing, I wear make up over it and feels no heavier than a moisturiser

Yes, I've come out in a lovely crop of spots since wearing it this week, too. My skin is never great tbh, but these little bumpy spots are horrid ???? Many thanks again everyone.

I use a yellow oil type sunscreen from Nivea. Can't remember the name, but it sprays on like oil and soaks in without a leaving greasy feel.
