SPF for face when running

Spring is on the way and this year I’m marathon training so going to be spending a longer amount of time out in the sun. Can anyone recommend a good sun cream for my face that won’t run when I sweat and also isn’t really thick and greasy? TIA

Biore watery essence is brilliant. I get it from
Amazon.

Nuxe facial sunscreen is really good. SPF 50 non chalky, doesn't run and is great for sensitive skin.

Translucent ghost here waves I wear a really lightweight hat and Kiehl’s UV Defence Aqua Gel SPF50. It’s not cheap but not up there with the crazy prices either and does last ages!

I wear a cap and massive sunglasses as I don't want the sun on as much as my face as possible. Means I don't have to put it above my eyes and have cream run into them.

Anywhere the sun hits I use factor 50

This has been a really helpful thread. Thank you. I actually have been using spf in summer when running so this has prompted me to use it all year round.

I do use a tinted moisturiser with an spf 30 in for regular daily wear, but even then, since lockdown, I’ve stopped using that.

Not sure anyone is still looking at this but wondering if you don’t use foundation/ tinted moisturiser with an spf in, do you put sun cream under your make-up?

ultrasun is great

@Alittlebitlostrightnow I use SPF under make-up even if it has SPF in it. You're unlikely to use enough foundation/BB cream/whatever to get the SPF protection listed. I use Vichy Ideal Soleil SPF 50, it's good but my make-up definitely doesn't last as long over it. I used to use LRP but it stung my eyes.

I use Isdin Eryfotona AK Fluid SPF100+ 50ml. It stops AK and I use it because of skin cancer. It works well as a primer too.

I do! The same one I use for running that I mentioned above. I notice I get a tiny bit shinier after 6ish hours but nothing a quick bit of powder doesn’t fix.

I rarely wear make up but came on to say that Hawaiian Tropic Duo lotion is great. Also 3quid in Home Bargains. Doesn't sweat or wash off with sideways rain.

I use Biore Watery Essence from a site called

www.yesstyle.com/en/home.html

It takes a couple of weeks to arrive but it's great! So order at least 6

Doesn't run goes on like a serum non greasy and protects brilliantly

A bit random but the boots kids "once" spf50 for face does the trick stays on well and it's pretty affordable!

brushlaptop · 16/03/2021 16:36

Also ultra sun yes!
