Mecca have amazing sunscreens in SPF30 and SPF50 named 'To Save Face.' The SPF30 gel and SPF50 have a slight tint to them (which is not really noticeable) but adds some eveness to complexion. I also love love love Nivea's SPF30 'Face Veil.' It is only $11 at New World and I have been using it all year!
I'm really loving Oasis Knock Out SPF 25. It feels really light, doesn't sting my eyes and really suits my skin when it's oily from the heat.
Alternatively I do remember using Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunblock and that one just like the name was light and dry to touch so great for moving on to your makeup.

Yeah here it is.
It's just saying that over half of the sunscreens sold in NZ don't perform to what they state they do and they aren't regularly tested or meet standards (because they are classed as a cosmetic, they don't need to).
Have a read, it's quite interesting but like everything, take it with a grain of salt.

Snowberry's statement about this is really interesting and worth a read
That's really interesting reading! It also reflects what NIOD (this is part of the same company that produces The Ordinary products) state. Just scroll past the information about the product to where they start bullet pointing near the bottom.
Trudijoy - on a side note I really like this picture of you :).

In summer I always use Andalou Face Serum (which is SPF 30 and has zinc, but isn't sticky and gross), followed by Coola which is an amazing tinted sunscreeen.
KiwiLass, tell me about Coola! I've had my eye on that tinted face product but would rather read the experiences of a real person since it is a little pricey. Also, where have you been buying yours from?
Charmy-Kitty - check the ingredients on the sunscreens you are using and look for only mineral ones (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) as chemical ones can be highly irritating to sensitive skins. I can only use mineral sunscreens but that's great, they provide much better protection.

I have yet to find a face or body sunscreen that I actually enjoy wearing. But you are right, Maree. We will need to be extra vigilant this some.
Trudi I have been meaning to try that Beach spray. It's been on my 'products I want' list since the first time you mentioned it. And the Mario Bedascu spray is great for cooling down. It also takes away that tight feeling if I use a cleanser that doesn't agree with my skin.

Kiwilass, I've used that sunscreen serum as well. I tend to wash my face after I excercise and it's still bright out so that's the cheaper sunscreen I use to make sure I still have spf on my face while the sun's out, the only problem is it stings eyes.
I used to use the Brightening Beauty Balm on my days out in the sun some years back when I was just getting into mineral sunscreens. That stuff is thick and greasy and it's got an orange tint but I remember not minding because I really just wanted to ensure I didn't have more sunspots as a results of walking around and all over on a really sunny day.
They have an untinted one for oily skin but I never got around to trying that one.

speaking of sunscreen, not just for your face - genius moment today. i finally worked out how to apply to all of my back!! i simply got the back scratcher, a hair tie and my trusting tanning mitt. boom. i bet it will work for tanning too, but i'm so stoked with my discovery!! i know they sell proper back tanner things but in a pinch, that worked perfectly.
I'm just about to buy Heimish Glow Base SPF+/PA+++ from iherb, has anyone else used that? It looks good for summer, under makeup/BB.
