Trying to look after my skin better in regards to sunscreen. I’ve always been good and used hat and sunscreen in summer and sunny days. I’ve not been so good at wearing it in the winter/cloudy days.

Anyway, is something like this good enough for everyday in winter:

That looks ok to me, I look for products with spf 30 or over, so an spf 50 looks fab

I would say it depends how much you put on. For suncream to be effective you need two fingers worth for neck and face I believe. This is more than I would put on from a normal Moistusier

Oh great, thanks for the replies. I put quite a lot of moisturiser on as my skin is quite tight in the morning.

Best to avoid jar packaging and go for something in a tube. This Garnier one is good for dry skin and sinks in nicely too.

Second this ... absorbs well but nourishing. Make up goes on well after too. I like that it's an actual sunscreen which works as a moisturiser rather than the other way round

For the recommended sun protection on the label, you need to be using a separate SPF to moisturiser.
