Sun Block for sensitive skin

3 replies

Recommendations please.

I am red head with fair freckled skin so very quickly burn.

Hate the feeling of sun block on my face and neck but it is now necessary.

Which sun block for fair sensitive skin would you recommend AND most impotently doesn't sit on the skin as thick greasy film?

Thanks

I have sensitive skin that burns easily, no freckles but prone to dodgy looking moles so I'm careful. For my face, I find either Ultra Sun Face or La Roche Posay Anthelios don't set off a reaction and aren't too greasy. But I also cover up a lot in the summer e.g. sleeves, trousers and, when it's really sunny - a hat.

I managed to give myself a chemical burn with Ultrasun Face Sensitive last weekend so I'd recommend being careful with the "once a day" format. I do have really, really sensitive skin on my face though.

Neostrata Sheer Physical Protection SPF 50 is my preferred face sunscreen and I'm still using the Ultrasun Sensitive Face on my neck & décolletage. The Neostrata one is excellent - has a teeny bit of tint so it evens out your complexion, and dries to a matte finish. I'm a very pale redhead with redness (rosacea).
