Sunscreen that isn't oily and heavy...?

Question

I need a high factor sunscreen that doesn't feel heavy or oily. I've tried the countless brands and they are all really greasy. Even the Ambre Solaire Clear protect which claims to be '100% non greasy'.

Does anyone know of a SPF30+ sunscreen that feels like a good moisturiser?

Answer 1

I like the Coppertone faces sunscreen - it's oil-free and non-greasy. I also like neutrogena sunscreen, although some kinds can leave a residue.

Answer 2

Well, I went to Florida last year, and found that they have very good sunscreens. I bought one called Panama Jack SPF 75 Surf 'N Sport and was $10. I managed to get some more online for only $8 a bottle which I think is about 100ml, as it's in american volume. The site itself wont deliver to the uk,. but I found another site that will. www.drugstore.com. The cream is thick, and is a little greasy when first applied, but it is the best sunscreen for pale skin that burns in only a few minutes (like mine!) A small amount goes quite a long way. I also use the Ambre Solaire stuff and find it ok to use and it goes far. I'm afraid that most creams are a little greasy, but it's better than cancer! Check out the site, they may have some other stuff you could use.

HI i use banana boat factor 15 tanning oil it is never greasy water proof and moisturises and gives you a wonderful tan and protects your skin form harmful rays, i think they do a factor 30 too, with the same above.

Answer 4

Have you tried P20? It's a once-a-day lotion that, although it feels a bit tacky for the first half an hour, doesn't then need to be reapplied. You're supposed to leave it 45 mins before going out in the sun after you've applied it. We always put it on before breakfast and then we're good to go when we hit the beach.

Answer 5

the Coppertone Sport is pretty good. It's sweat proof and you can get it up to like 50 or 60 spf. I enjoy using it, it never feels "greasy" to me.
