If you're looking for a non-greasy, fantastic every day sunblock - I highly recommend Neutrogena Ultra-Sheer sunblock. It smells really good, rubs into your skin within seconds - and you won't even know it's there! I have highly burnable skin and have found this as effective as all of the "sporty" brands that brag about sticking with you through sports and swimming - only this one doesn't feel greasy at all. A great every day suncreen!

On the other hand - if you're going for the best in sun protection, you may need to head to Canada. There is a new chemical that is not yet available for sale in the US that is hailed as the next generation of sunblock - This is really the Rolls Royce of ingredients. If you have sensitive skin you have no choice but to get your hands on some! I order a L'Oreal product from a Canadian pharmacy that is a bit pricey, but well worth it if you care about protecting yourself against skin cancer. Keep an eye out for this active ingredient: "Mexoryl"
Take a look at the article below - it's been all over the news, but sadly it is still unavailable in the US.

Ive used Banana Boat KIDS uva and uvb sunblock lotion that you spread on and its SPF 30. Its not smelly and I like that and Neutrogena Ultra Sheer body mist sunblock SPF 45. It works really well and smells nice too. I like sprays that are easy to apply. Makes it fast and easy . Neither feel greasy to me but it could also depend on how much you apply.

I am constantly out in the sun and I use coppertone sport usually SPF 48 or 50, this sunblock works great and doesn't leave you feeling all greasy

I love Oil of Olay. It absorbs very quickly, it's non-greasy, and it's never given me pimples. Plus they give you the option of many different SPF strengths. The new Olay sunblock with the subtle self tanners is wonderful.

purchase a beginning place or a moisturizer with SPF- just about all products on the marketplace now have SPF 15 or above. accepted solar lotion might nicely be worn under make up, and it will nonetheless shield you only effective, whether it could make you seem greasy and make your make up runny. in case you placed it over your make up, it defeats the objective of the two wearing the make up and the sunscreen. it's going to smudge the make up, and the solar reveal can not soak in and could no longer conceal your dermis thoroughly

copper tone is good...don't go with anything too cheap, i bought some of the cheap store brand stuff last year and ended up burning as if i hadn't used anything at all.....and remember the higher the SPF the higher the protection!

Yes, Aloe products. Not greasy and very effective. Hats work as well.
