Bridesmaid suncream recommendations please!

I'm a bridesmaid in Spain this summer. I'll be wearing a light coloured chiffon dress. I'm also very pale and tend to burn. I'm looking for a suncream that I can put on in the morning that won't be at all greasy/mark my dress.

It would be even better if that one application would last for the day but that's probably asking a bit much so as long as it fits the brief above- soaking in right away, leaving no greasy marks etc.

I don't mind spending a bit if it's a great suncream that is totally non greasy.

Thanks!

The all day ones are like a weird jelly. If you put it on about 10 minutes before the dress it will have absorbed and doesn’t go oily on me. It should last but keep a look out for the shade!

Not p20 - it stings and stinks, and stains clothes...

Thanks for that info mumbuns.

Tryingtocatchthewind which one are you thinking of exactly?

Thanks!

Similar skin type to you OP, my shoulders would be up in flames in your situation! I now use the kids Banana Boat SPF50 Dry Touch from Amazon.

I believe Lancaster do a dry touch one as well which might be more appropriate for you but can't vouch for it.

I usually put it on in the morning as I'm getting ready, then get dressed and it's never been greasy or damaged clothes. Probably getting some now and testing both before you're in the bridesmaids dress?

Thanks for those recommendations- I'll have a look at those now!

I just use the Aldi all day one. It hasn’t marked my clothes yet

calypso all day is a gel and drys in very quickly

ultrasun is an all day one, recommend it

I think I might need to try a few of these out as someone suggested above.
