Suncream Help!

7 replies

LivingstonWL · 04/07/2019 22:42

We are off on holiday soon and I'd love to get some suncream advice.

I'm Scottish so I'm almost see through in colour most of the year so during holidays will be using factor 30 with factor 50 on standby!

But... What I need help with is....I get very hot in the sun and my face sweats - this makes suncream run and 3/4 times a day I end up in the bathroom washing my stinging eyes out!

Can anyone confirm any suncreams that won't sting the eyes? Banana Boat do a tear free factor 50 product but I want a factor 30. I'm happy with supermarket and mass market products, not needing anything fancy or expensive.

I'm sure this must be something someone else has suffered with.

Thank you.

Ultrasun face is brilliant, although it is expensive.

Ultrasun face stings my eyes I'm afraid. Nivea do a face spf50 . . . . there seem to be two types (antiaging and shine control) I use the shine control. So far I've had very little eye sting and am really pleased with it. Got mine from Sainsbury's - about £6.50 for a small tube. Not sure if they do a less strong one.

In the end a picked up Banana Boat Tear Free large bottle. Clearly zinc based from the smell - like zinc & castol oil cream from my childhood! It's done a fantastic job so far, so recommended for anyone searching the forums with the same question!
