I've oily skin & don't like greasy cakey feel'g on face. Where can I find a non greasy sunblock for daily use?

Answer 1

it's the grease in the sunblock that protects you. the larger molecules prevent the high-energy photons from getting through to your skin. try eating more vegetables and fruits and less fast food to make your skin less greasy. drin klots of water as well.

Answer 2

I would recommend Mary Kay's Day solution - it has an SPF of 25 and is meant for all skin types. I hate sunscreen normally because it is greasy and I hate the smell, but that kind works really good and isn't greasy. You can try their Timewise moisturizer with SPF 15, but if you do not need a moisturizer, just try the day solution. I do not sell Mary Kay (I used to, but quit a few years ago) so I have no reason to push their products. I like some of their products I just hate the way the business is structured and ran. I am very fair and need a sunscreen and I have tried a bunch, so I am going off of that. Best of luck! Oh and you can find it on Ebay although the consultants will tell you not to do that (because they lose money and you cannot return it), but there are sellers who sell fresh and new products (I know because I have personally bought quite a bit from them myself and I know how the products should be because I sold them before) The SPF 25 day solution is a newer item, so none of it would be older on ebay anyways.

A company called Banana Boat do non-greasy sun block lotions up to SPF50 and they also do a super sun block lip balm with Aloe Vera and you can get them over the internet if not available locally. They also include ones especially for the face and ones which are 'surf proof' - not really cheap but better value for money that some of the big brands which spend a lot on advertising.
It is important to always cleanse and moisturise your face before using your sunblock and ALWAYS use oil-free products on greasy skin - oil based products will block the pores and create the perfect situation to encourage spots, pimples and other blemishes. - Pat

The greasy, cakey feeling is the good stuff. Once my mom bought a Anessa smooth sunscreen lotion ( SPF 50+ PA+++ by Shiseido ) and it's really oily. But it works well. And even if it's oily, it really cleanse your pores and all.
She still uses it.

Swab the decks, matey. Skin-care companies have come up with nifty foil-wrapped packets of alcohol-saturated wipes for oily skin. They're similar to the larger wipes that women with children often carry for tidying up kids away from home. The smaller facial wipes are easy to tuck into your handbag or briefcase. Then, when you notice that your nose is shiny with oil, you can peel a packet apart in a bathroom and wipe the oil from your face. The alcohol cuts through the oil and dries up your skin. They smell nice and refreshing and they're very convenient. Look for Tyrosum wipes, among other brands, in major drugstores, or ask your pharmacist to order them.

Wash with care. If you have oily skin, you may be tempted to scrub that oil away every chance you get. But washing your face too much--more than three times a day--may stimulate your skin to produce more oil. Every skin pore is a little oil factory, and your skin knows how much is produced--as if it had a little dipstick. So if you constantly remove that oil, your skin says, 'Oops! Not enough oil. Better make some more.'

Hard scrubbing and rubbing stirs up the oil glands, too, so be gentle. And if you have oily skin, avoid superfatted soaps (intended to moisturize as they clean) like Dove and Tone--your skin doesn't need any added oil. Antibacterial soaps (like Dial and antibacterial Lever 2000) are helpful. That's because oily skin has a tendency to clog the pores and foster bacterial growth.

Rely on witch hazel. Among dermatologists witch hazel is a popular astringent. Don't let the name fool you. Witch hazel is mild and doesn't have a lot of added ingredients. It's always best to keep skin-care products as simple as possible--use the purest products. And be wary of natural products containing essential oils (extracts of herbs used in aromatherapy and massage)--some people are allergic to them.

Go powder your nose. Talcum powder, whether it's formulated for the body or if it's loose face powder, is oil-free. What's more, talc blots the oil on your skin. People with oily skin need a little powder after they bathe and when they apply makeup.

Apply loose face powder after applying foundation. Pressed powder is not recommended, because it contains some oil and may make acne worse in susceptible women.
