Sun cream

[lilimarleen]

Which Sun cream should I get. I am fair with freckles and burn quite easily so I need good protection. Has anyone used Sun Bum? Is it any good? I don't want something that makes skin greasy and it needs to be waterproof. Thanks for any recommendations.

See if you can have a look at ugly duckling skincare on Instagram she does really in depth suncream tests she is bound to have tried one that’s right for you

Altruist

I love Altruist. It works well over skincare and under make up.

I wear the face fluid every day - think I paid £9 from Amazon.

For my body I use Ultrasun and I also use an Ultrasun lip balm too to protect my lips.

I’ve recently bought the Ultrasun tinted face SPF snd tried it today for the first time - quite liked it.

I have similar colouring and really like the sunsense range - I use their anti-ageing face as my daily moisturiser during the summer. www.sunsense.co.uk/product/anti-ageing-face-spf-50/

The Altruist range is really good too.

Thanks. The Altruist products get mixed reviews. Does it sting your eyes? And where is the cheapest place to get Ultrasun? How are the ones you can get from Boots like Amber Solaire, Piz Buin and Nivea?

Face?
Biore Watery Essence spf 50
Garnier/Ambre Solaire sensitive face spf50.

I prefer the Biore

Altruist doesn’t sting my eyes as much as others - I can only ever apply SPF U.K. to my orbital bone. Otherwise my eyes stream all day.

Day 2 of Ultrasun tinted and I am very impressed - I’ve had to use it all over my face including eyes and this made me anxious…no stinging at all!!

another vote for Ultrasun. I tend to get it when there is a QVC special value offer on.

Yes QVC sometimes do the packs - I got. A family pack with face SPF, body and lip balm. The lip balm is brilliant.

Last time I purchased from Feel Unique. There are often different deals on different websites.

Remember that Ultrasun has to be applied direct to your face - no serums or moisturisers underneath.
