I have just booked very expensive IPL treatment for my pigmentation on my face. I have to have no tan on my face, and thereafter I need to keep the skin sun free. As a runner this is a challenge,
I hate ordinary sun screen as it feels greasy and horrible, can you recommend what you use please?

You really need one that can be worn under make up.

I have used LRP and found it 'pilled' once I applied foundation.

A lot depends on whether you use make up on top of these creams.
Many are very thick and greasy or if not, they can be made with chemical sunscreens some of which are actually very bad for the skin and banned in the US as being hormone disrupters.

I like this Eucerin one, which I bought from Boots: www.eucerin.co.uk/products/sun-protection/sun-fluid-sensitive-protect-spf-30

Biore here too. I CBA ordering it and tried the new Avon one, smells unpleasant and I tried the tinted one, it's too dark for my pale skin.

Heliocare is good post procedure but from then on I’d say watery essence ( Amazon) is better under makeup.

You need separate moisturiser and sunscreen. You won't put enough moisturiser on to provide enough 'screen"
I use Frezyderm now, it's spf 50 and a fabulous primer as well.
Used Biore watery spf 50 before and would repurchase if they stopped making Frezyderm.

This is excellent. Makeup applies well over it, there is no scent or stickiness. ~www.skinoracle.com/ultrasun-face-spf-30.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwqLblBRBYEiwAV3pCJnvLwMfgbES_64F4aTVgkYkvsbjs7oflhTXgn0PbF8DHJV8jZx5D5BoCwrwQAvD_BwE
