Help me find suncream that's not sticky

[Rathkelter]

Has anyone found one that absorbs well? I have tried and disliked so many that I'm showering as soon as I get home to get the stickiness off. It's annoying me already and it's only June!
Have tried: Riemann P20, Nivea in the blue bottles, Soltan and Once, Superdrug, Aldi and Lidl own brands...
I'm pasty so think I need SPF 30+
Boots N7 face is good, but too expensive to slather everywhere. Any recommendations?

we had a soltan beach one last year that was non sticky.

I hate how they change formulations/labelling every year so you need to try to find something new again.

Aerosols are non sticky and very convenient. You have to be careful not to breathe it in though.

I bought this last summer and it was great, easy to reapply, no sticky feeling and easy enough to do your own shoulders when out and about.
There’s a kids version as well which makes reapplying cream to the children miles easier too.

Gives good coverage as well, I didn’t get burned at all using it and I am pale enough to burn indoors if I’m too near a window.

Thanks @sew I've taken note of that.
@natural can you remember which aerosol you tried?

There's an ambre solair thats. In sticky

Try these - if you’re going abroad buy more than one bottle as they don’t seem to sell it

The small one is great for faces and kids shoulders and handbag friendly

I was in NZ earlier this year when I tried it so can't remember, but the one linked is an aerosol I think, it's called dry mist. I think there are a few now.

@orange I just googled Soltan and they have about 8 different types of sun cream. Where to even start.

I use the altruist- it's made by a dermatologist- you can buy on amazon. I love it.

@greentulips does it feel different to normal Nivea? I have found their cream gooey.

Ill look up the altruist, thanks.

Australian Gold. It's bloody lovely and smells gorgeous, expensive though and hard to get in shops in the UK so I get it abroad or from Amazon.

Banana Boat Powder Dry is great.

The Garnier mist caught my throat so bad I couldn't use it. Second Altruist though, non sticky, non oily, just sinks right in and gives good protection.

I love the Malibu dry oil spray. They do that in a 30. Weirdly it’s the only suncream brand that doesn’t irritate my Dd’s skin.
It’s so cheap, but has always done the trick.

Great ideas, thank you all for replying!

The spray is a light (cold) mist like a hairspray but you don’t feel it when it’s dries - very quickly like seconds - you don’t get it all over your hands and don’t have to chase kids round trying to put it on - spray and go - really quick and easy to use

Be careful with Soltan - some of their products are greasy and leaves white marks on your clothes/ashy colour on skin - the Once range in the pale yellow packaging in particular.

For my face, I use Kiehl’s.

I haven’t bought this yet but Selfridges have an interesting brand. I tried it in store and it wasn’t greasy at all.

I’ve ordered altruist spf 30 from amazon on a MN recommendation and I have to say it’s good so far. I put it on my face every morning. Scent free and it goes under makeup. I don’t find it at all sticky and don’t even notice I’m wearing it.

I've just ordered a couple of bottles of Altruist SPF30 from Amazon to try

Watching with interest!

I apply my sun cream with a tanning mitt. No sticky fingers!

I like ultra sun or aldi’s Sun creams.

I remembered. The one I had was Neutrogena. I haven't looked for it here in the U.K. but there are other aerosol/dry mist products. I think it's a game changer, especially as I use spf 50.
