hi all, I want to know what sunscreen you use on your face. I usually just use products with SPF (face moisturiser and foundation), but I'm thinking of using a separate sunscreen too. I want one that is light and non greasy so that it can be worn under make up. Thanks! :)

Oasis apple a day or nivea sun under makeup, and/or neutrogena beach spray OVER makeup!

best ones i've found. Mum swears by a black cherry one but it's super expensive

Great thanks for those suggestions Trudi. I didn't know it was possible to wear sunscreen on top of make up without it going all yuck and smearing your make up everywhere.

i wouldnt use liquid or cream sunscreen over makeup but the spray works for me, kinda acts as a setting mist. It's def not a mattifying one but I find a light mist of it over my makeup works amazingly well

I use this one from Etude House (link takes you to RoseRose Shop) and it's pretty fantastic. It doesn't make my face tingle, it just goes on like a moisturizer and my skin looks pretty awesome after its on!

I'm using Nivea but would like to try the Oasis and Badger sunscreen.

I really like my Oasis Apple a Day, but back when I was working at Spa that would do facials and finish off with sunscreen and mineral makeup they used Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunblock. I think a few brands like Peter Thomas Roth has some brush on mineral finishing powders with spf but it does cost an arm and a leg for a few grams.

I recently bought a Shiseido face suncream - terrible - my husbands kept asking if I'm sick and why does my face look grey! It just doesn't soak in! I'm going back to old faithful Daylong from the chemist - lasts up to 8 hours (or so it says on the bottle)

I just got the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock, still deciding how I feel about it, but it definitely didn't feel as greasy. In the past I've tended towards Nivea mostly.

I think I've tried that sunblock in the past tannygirl. I ended up buying the neutrogena ultra sheer body mist so I'll see what that's like.
