There are many SPF containing products on the shelves to choose from, but the challenge is finding one that is neither greasy nor sticky and that can be worn under make up. My first forays with the promisingly named Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock from Neutrogena resulted in shiny skin and an outbreak of spots, while the Ultrasun Face High SPF 30 left my skin feeling taut and a little tacky. I also later realised that it doesn’t filter UVB rays. Much better was UV Perfect by L’Oreal Paris which I picked up on a whim in a supermarket bargain basket.
More recently I’ve been using two products, (Fluide Extreme and Crème Fondante) from the Anthelios range by La Roche-Posay. Despite their SPF of 50, both are light and easily absorbed with no white residue. They do leave the skin with a slight sheen, but a healthy glow rather than an oily slick, and they lack the sticky finish of many other products. Of the two, the Fluide is as one might expect, thinner and more rapidly absorbed, but both are suitable for use as a make up base. My search for a daily sun protecting moisturiser is over.”

Most of my makeup has at least SPF 15 in so I guess I wear it without trying!!!

This really is the best!
I use a light moisturiser from the sanctuary that has SPF15. Actually, I think there's remarkably few moisturisers on the market in Ireland with SPF...plenty of foundation has it but I mostly wear that at night when the sun is not an issue!
Accepting that I am a Kiehls bore, I like Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense meself.
Well done Roisin! And well done Mrs Fluff as always!

Have to say I"m a convert to Clinique's BB Cream with SPF 30 in it, although MAC Prep and Prime with SPF 50 is pretty impressive too!
Personally I've been using Shu Uemura UV under base mousse with SPF30 - but that's a review for another day! xo
I love le roche posey products, they are so good for sensitive skin!Great review Roisin! your right Emma, she should definitely start a blog!
When I'm sun bathing I use P20 all over. Although its not suitable for under makeup, it gives a great even colour without burning (my mum used it on me as a baby so its safe for sensitive skin and really high protection) Its my tanning secret and you don't have to reapply!

Nicely done :) very nice sunscreen that doesn't leave you greasy or chalky. The best sunscreen is the one that you wear!
Sunblock for your face can be so tricky. I'm currently using one that's in my moisturizer. Very light. It's really important because you can easily burn on your face. Great post!

I've struggled to find a nice face cream with SPF.. I wonder if theres one with only natural ingredients to .. x
This wa sa really useful post. I have issues finding facial sunscreens that don't turn me into an oil slick as I have oily / combination skin. I did try Cliniques Cityblock last year SPF30 and quite liked it though as it was tinted and felt much less greasy than normal.
