Daily SPF recommendations

[Nadeshka]

Inspired by some threads on this board, and recently turning 30, I have decided to invest in looking less scruffy and I think skincare is a big area I can improve upon.
Pretty much everywhere recommends a daily SPF as THE MOST IMPORTANT step but can anyone tell me what products they use for this?
I use Clarins UV plus SPF 50 for holidays and out all day in the summer, but it feels a bit much in the other seasons/when in the office all day and also leaves a bit of a white layer.
I don't wear foundation, though I tried the Beauty Pie oil free tinted SPF 20 moisturiser but found it very drying. So a plain moisturiser with SPF is my preference, saves trying to get a colour match. Their Japanfusion range really works for my skin (two weeks in) so something light but moisturising like that would probably be best?
In terms of skin type I am half Asian so I often get dry forehead/cheeks but can be quite oily and breakout often too.

I’m following as I need to find a good spf too

The Beauty Pie spf 25 is really lightweight and not chalky. I do need to use a moisturiser first though as I’ve got quite dry skin. If you want an all in one I love the Olay Regenerist spf 30 in the red tube, not cheap but often on offer in Boots and Superdrug.

La Roche posay SPF 50 is perfect for everyday - really lightweight so you can layer it over moisturiser and under make up. I use this everyday and love it

I’ve used many different spfs, the one I’ve found the best and doesn’t break me out is the Kiehls ultra light daily defence spf50.

The Clinique ones tend to be good. I use the tinted moisture surge one but have previously used city block and the plain one and they've been great on my combination skin.

I used to use the Body Shop multi defence essence which was amazing but now out of stock everywhere. I found Avene and LRP too greasy and sticky.

Definitely interesting to see these choices, I was expecting there to be more SPF15/30 products for a daily product? I guess because I only use above 30 outside the UK as I don't burn easily.
Is the RP one this - La Roche-Posay Anthelios Anti-Shine Sun Cream Gel SPF50+ ?
I'm intrigued by it's mattifying properties but don't want it to be too drying.
I'm waiting for my beautypie limit to reset this month (annoyed I wasted it on that tinted one) so will try something else from this list in the meantime. Will see what is on offer from these or I can redeem some boots points for!

I use Boots No7 protect & perfect day cream spf15.

@Nadeshka I like the LRP one and the LRP tinted Shaka fluids in the rectangular bottle.
Though I really didn’t like the tinted anti-shine cream.

Should say *I like that LRP one and...

I second the la Roche posay 50+ It's really light and leaves no chalky film.
I have combination skin too and often find sunscreens very greasy which means my make up slides off. This one is perfect.

Another vote for the LRP. It’s the best sunscreen I’ve ever used and I’ve tried them all.

Tried Biore watery essence which sat nicely but made me a grease ball by lunch. I’m exceptionally oily though so if you’re not it could be perfect for you.

Dermalogica age smart factor 50 moisturiser for me. Light.

La roche possay!!!!!

I havempily skin and find a lot of spfs are too heavy feeling. I like tge body shop one and recently bought Cosrx fro yesstyle which is bloody amazing!

Have oily

I’m currently using and loving Heliocare 360° Sun Protection Gel Oil-Free SPF 50. I have previously also used la Roche posey Shaka fluid and rare that as well.

I also really rate the La Roche Possay spf 50 too

To block sufficient UVA rays, which are the ageing ones, spf 30 is better. And a moisturiser isn't going to provide enough coverage. SPF rating is only for UVB - the tanning/burning rays - and the UVA are active all year round unlike UVB. You need broad spectrum to block both and the UVA part of the screen is usually something like a third of the uvb defence. If I have the figures right.

Biore Aqua Resist SPF 50 as recommended on here. Available on Amazon; I put it on over moisturiser but under makeup.

La Roche Posay!

Lots of people vouching for La Roche Posay and it's not too pricey plus on 3 for 2 at boots so I've gotten the anti shine one and the Shaka tinted one too. Fingers crossed!

I stopped into Kiehl's today and tried theirs. They had one for oily skin I found too drying, but I actually quite liked their tinted one. However my train came before I could convince myself to spend the money (£38 for 60ml).

Been doing some reading up from another thread on SPF, some amazing detail there! Thanks for the suggestions, I may yet be trying the others if LRP doesn't work out.

EltaMD UV clear spf 46 it’s good for acne prone/sensitive/oily skin. My skin is very sensitive and I actually find it calms my skin when I use it! It as some zinc in too which is supposedly good but can’t remember what reason for it’s pricey but has lasted me ages and ages

La Roche Posay is very good.

I love Biore Watery Gel too!
