Help me find suncream that's not sticky

Rathkelter · 01/06/2019 21:46

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?

Lancaster, been using for years, feels just like a moisturiser

La Roche Posay is my favourite. It's expensive but sometimes Boots have it on 3 for 2 offers.

This is great feels really nice and doesn't feel greasy or look shiny at all.

I don't want to be the one to lecture you, but please check the UVA star rating on the back and try and buy sunscreen with at least 4 (ideally 5) stars! Google the UVA system if you want to understand how it works!

I like Solait too, and the nivea spray. Recently purchased the Aldi spray too. I think sprays tend to be less sticky than the cream ones, and aerosols even less sticky than those, but I feel like aerosols don't offer sufficient covering, but that's probably just me being paranoid!
