Another sunscreen one - sorry...

Had a melanoma removed at Christmas and am under strict instructions to wear sunscreen all of the time.

I have tried the Sunsense daily face stuff, and I hate it. I don't like the tint and I don't like the fact I can feel it on my skin.

The Sunsense standard one is fine for my body, and my face if Im going to be out in full sun for hours.

I need to find something broad spectrum factor 30+ that I am happy to put on my face every morning.

-Not tinted (I would rather look ghostly)

  • I don't wear makeup so that's not an issue.
-Moisturising (I don't want to have to put two things on my face in the morning)
  • Not sticky feeling, and doesnt rub off on clothing
-Doesn't end up in my eyes/make them sting -Pref one application for a full day -Available from Amazon.
  • Doesn't bring me out in spots and sensitive (my scar gets itchy very easily)
  • That my dermatologist doesn't suck her teeth at.

I know this probably isn't even possible, but if it is I figure you will know. Thanks Flowers

The Green People website sell a specific face one. I got it last week and it feels nice to use on my face.

I am evangelical about the Korres yogurt SPF 30 one. It is amazing stuff and I've never before found a s/s that agrees with my skin (have tried Asian, French, physical only etc etc). The only thing against it is that it is fragranced, if you have an issue with that.

Depends how sensitive your skin is!

I'm uber sunscreen allergic but I love:

Organic kids and all the green people range.
SunSense
Tropic skin care (new discovery, amazing, sinks in in seconds!)

Skin Ceuticals. I have sensitive skin but am fine with this one and non greasy

Neostrata sheer physical defence.

Can I ask is there a difference between Biorè watery essence and watery gel?

Boots Soltan range do two "Face" suncreams: one is from the Once range, one is in the regular Soltan range. They come in 30 and 50.

I find the Once 30 absolutely brilliant and wear it every day. It's cheap, has a 5 star (maximum) uva rating, moisturising, and only looks a bit white when first on, but disappears when rubbed in well. Also it has an amazing pore smoothing effect! Highly recommend, and there are always 2 for one offers as well.

I found ultrasun good last year and not as greasy on my combination skin as the clinique city one I used to use
