Pity most high-spf things are terribly greasy.

And yeah, I should probably reapply sunscreen moisturiser during the day, but I haven't been sunburned on my face or gotten any new freckles in years so I'm taking that as a good sign of my sunscreen moisturiser's staying power.

How long does it take for freckles to fade? I have them, and I'm not bothered by them, but I'll be annoyed if they don't go away even when I put in the effort to wear sunscreen.

I wore some sunscreen from ALDI today and it made my face feel so sweaty and greasy after a 15 minute walk.

I wear moisturiser and foundation that has spf in it and i only reapply suncreen on my face if Im going to be in the sun. Only put sunscreen anywhere else if I will be in the sun. I go get skin cancer checks every year as well.

Not exactly. It's naturally half blonde and half dark red, so the overall colour is ginger/dark blonde.

Don't get me started on my hair :|

I use spf30+ sunscreen that has a matte effect so it doesnt look all greasy. Shop around for good sunscreen, its worth the time.

i've got a little sun spot on my ear which is the last place i want surgery. so i screen that shit up.

man, sunscreen makes picking up at the beach so much easier. 'oh hi there do you happen to have any sunscreen?'.

No I don't..its very rare that I do , I hate the stuff. I don't burn and I'm sensible with the time I spend in the sun.

Try using Sunsense brand. They're a bit more expensive price wise but they feel hell of a lot nicer compared to all the other sunscreens.

I try to remember to put on sunscreen everytime I'm out..

I always wear lotions with SPF for my face, and it not only is to prevent skin cancer, mainly to prevent wrinkles and sunspots. Although I have found some new spots last year on my face that i am carefully eying so I am much more careful about using sunscreen on it.

Sunscreen and moisturiser in one. Win.

I definately agree.

Oil of Olay do a great moisturiser with SPF in it :)
I use it everyday. Although if it is hot defo put sunscreen on as well. I have a purse stick on sunscreen but it is a bit unreliable, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes. Every day. Before i put on my sunscreen, i wipe my face with Green Tea, then apply spf 30 sunscreen. i also drink 3 cups of tea each day. it fights against free radicals from damaging the skin!

I'm a burner. I wear invisible zinc. I consider it the most safe and effective sunscreen available.

i put apply my daily moisturiser on first, then use a moisturising fluid on top of that. I personally hate sunscreen but i hate going red by lunch so i might as well put up with it.
