Sunblock recs

dot · Marc Jacobs

I love this one. It doesn't feel greasy. It's waterproof but doesn't feel like it's stuck on your face and it's drugstore!

I buy sunblock than the average person and I found this one to be great.

I also like DDF Matte Finish sunblock, but the price on the Neutrogena is nicer and it leaves this "dry" finish for makeup. The DDF makes your skin feel tight not nec. matte.

Oh I also wanted to add that I like this product too. It's from Remede (the fancier Bliss line). It's $36 which is pricey but it has really good coverage and is oil-free. I usually don't feel that things like makeup with spf really do anything for protection, but this is definitely more sunscreen than makeup. The coverage is excellent.

I second Dot's Neutrogena Ultra Sheer recommendation. It's got a dry finish to it...not at all greasy. The only difference is that I use the SPF 45 because I am extremely pale.

I'll 3rd Neutrogena's ultra sheer. I always buy the highest SPF available for my face, neck and chest. I don't want to be a wrinkly hag. I'll use 15 on my legs, because they refuse to get any color. I think Shesedo has a 70. I had a sample, but never bought it.

I'll 5th the Neutrogena Ultra-sheer!! My dermatologist recommended it to me and I love it!

Lilykind · Hermes

I'll 6th the Neutrogena Ultra Dry! I use spf 30 on my arms and legs when they're exposed. I don't know how I get on without it!

I really really like the Shiseido line of suncare products. I use their Sun Protection Stick Foundation w/SPF 35 and that's really nice...leaves a nice dry finish like the Neutrogena, very portable and not messy in the least. I use this on my face.

I asked my dermatologist what sunscreen to use, and she said it needs to have either zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. I couldn't find very many at my drugstore with these ingredients. I ended up getting the Baby Magic SPF 45 with titanium dioxide. The scent is non-offensive, and I feel like I'm getting great coverage, but you kind've have to work to blend it in. Overall, though, I'm happy with it.

Woah, 6 recs for the Neutrogena! Definitely picking that up at the drugstore today. Thanks girls!

I want to get some of this stuff. I am on the shopping ban but this is a necessity. I do have some Sea and Ski SPF 50 that is okay and goes on fairly non-greasy. Maybe I will have to use that up first. Darn shopping ban.
