Sunblock without spots

Away in a very hot place and developing spots as a result of either the sun or the Nivea Factor 50
I've very pale skin with patches of vitiligo so I've given up on any kind of non-British tan colour but I didn't expect the zits?
Any recommendations?

Unfortunately you probably can't get it abroad now, but I got the No7 factor 50 for face and it's been amazing - no spots or reactions and doesn't feel too heavy on the skin. Sinks in well. Maybe for next time?

I can't do Nivea body or face suncream, my dh and kids all fine but I react with it (despite loving the smell!) I buy Garnier for me and that's been fine (for body).

Biore watery essence

The Body Shop spf50 Essence dries to nothing and leaves my skin cool and matte but not flat.

You may be able to get something like Avene or La Roche Posay (specifically a facial spf as opposed to one for use on body) a lot of pharmacies abroad carry those brands, both brands often recommended by dermatologists. Make sure you cleanse your skin twice at night to remove the SPF and prevent clogged pores/spots.

Probably no use to you now but someone on here recommended this to me. Boots Soltan. It's non pore clogging and hasn't given me the awful spots that normal suncream did. Doesn't sting my eyes or make them run either!

It's only £4.50 too which appealed to my right arse nature.

IDoAllMyOwnStunts · 19/08/2017 19:42

Right arse? Tight arse more like

HopeClearwater · 20/08/2017 18:05

Appeals to mine too

Agree with nothingwitty I was going to recommend the Body Shop 50 face lotion.

It's really light and not at all greasy, sits well on its own or under make-up. I bought it on a whim and will definitely re purchase.
