Suncream for face

34 replies

I've been really vigilant at wearing suncream everyday recently & I've started using Nuxe which I quite like & was thinking it will be great for when I'm on holiday too. However, I got caught in the rain storm this afternoon and my eyes were stinging presumably from the suncream running into my face.
Looking for recommendations for a cream that won't do the same when I'm on hols & in and out of the pool. Any suggestions?

(Previously been using Ultrasun kids' roll-on milk, which is pretty good but does run into my eyes a bit)

I use the regular ultrasun SPF50, and I haven't experienced any stinging with it.

Anthelios (La Roche Posay) for me too.

The Altruist one is nice but quite runny. The Ambre Solaire one is the nicest. Will try Nivea as anti-shine would be a massive bonus!

@spiderlight I actually got some of that the other day. Is a moisturiser with suncream in it enough coverage in the sun? I wasn't sure
If so I'll try that and stand in the shower with it on!

I gave up on the expensive and useless facial ones. I use hypo allergenic baby factor 50 instead, and they're so much better. Currently using Ambre Solaire.

Ultrasun face spf30 for me. Only one I’ve found that doesn’t break me out or leave my face all greasy. They also do a 50 but my skin doesn’t seem to like spf products for some reason.

@Jakadaal - could I ask does the Ambre solaire leave you very greasy?

Inhave Ultrasun face which I do think is quite gentle but am finding it a bit shiny

Not at all it's just like a moisturiser and sinks right in
