Best inexpensive (if possible) sunscreen for face and sensitive skin

7 replies

I am joining the 10 years younger bootcamp and was wondering what the best sunscreen is.

I have never used one (so slap me) and I have sensitive skin. I am very pale and tend to react to some sun creams.

Please help

Ds has sensitive skin. The only suncream he could/can use is ROC. It is a bit expensive but my GP recommended it and it didn't give ds a rash. Boots soltan gave him a TERRIBLE rash that he had to have steroid cream to get rid of.

Here we go boots

I remember now its that UVA is not covered by the SPF factor, and is infect measured in star ratings on the back of the product. Boots used to be one of the only brands that had a 5 star rating.

Don't know if it would be anygood for sensitive skin through.

But they do have BOGOF on it at the mo which will bring the cost down.

Remember you need at least a SPF15 on your face neck and hands in the winter.

Can't beleive I remembered all that!

In the summer I bought Tesco Finest suncream (SPF15) and after sun. I have dodgy skin that goes blotchy with most suncreams, can't use Soltan, Piz Buin, Ambre Solaire.
The Tesco Finest stuff was excellent, went on very smoothly like expensive moisturiser and didn't make me rashy. It was also rated UVA 5 star as well, and wasn't very expensive at all. I don't know if Tesco still stock it but it would be well worth looking out for.

Just a thought. But a lot of makeup brands do a moisturiser with SPF 15 in it these days.

Could you get one that is the same brand as your make up? Atleast that way you should know that you'll be ok with it.

Like I said just a though
