Sunscreen 1 for face and 1 for body. Non greasy?

Hi,

What sunscreens should I go for.

I'm very very fair so burn easily.

I used to use a neutrogena one but I can't get it here. I liked it because it had a dry touch feel, not a greasy feeling once applied.

What are your favourites?

Ultrasun. It is my new favourite thing. You only have to put it on once a day. The face one is excellent, as it doesn't run into your eyes when swimming.

I second ultrasun for face

smilesandsun · 02/08/2016 14:18

thanks. Do you think the once a day application is enough?

Banana Boat factor 50. Non greasy so I use it on both my face and body.

I live abroad in a very hot climate so wear it every day. I've got fairly pale, sensitive skin and have never burned or broken out wearing it.

I find I burn when I use once a day, so apply Banana Boat 2-3 times depending on what I'm doing.

thanks. I used to use banana boat backing oz and was great. But now years on it seems to react with my skin.

What about La Roche Posay?

Yes, onice a day works for me, although I tend to sit in the shade apart from when walking around or swimming.

I've used this recently and found it none greasy and quick to absorb.
