What sunscreen do you use currently? Love it? Hate it?

I’m currently using Renee Rouleau’s SPF30 moisturizer – it’s workin’ well for me so far!

Thanks to Pursebuzz for the question idea! 🙂

i have only used Cancer Council Australia Ultra Sunscreen for regular days and its Sport version when I am swimming and do other outdoor activities. I have been sticking to just these 2 items for years. Never been tempted to try other stuff.

I love Philosophy – When Hope is not Enough SPF20, an age defense moisturizer and sunscreen in one. It’s non greasy and doesn’t leave a white cast, which is ideal for my combo/slightly oily skin.

Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF70! 😀
*doesn’t break me out
*dries to a matte finish w/o that greasy look on my face
*isn’t heavy on the body either
it isn’t available at my local drugstores (only the SPF50 version) so i got mine in eBay.. 🙂

I’m not using anything :(…I know, terrible of me. But I’m going to Arizona in a couple weeks, and I’m definitely bringing some with me for the trip.

I’m using the Shu Uemura ones at the moment. It’s the only one I’ve come across that stops my chest for burning.

Under make-up, MAC Prep + Prime SPF 50. No make-up days, Purpose Redness Reducing Moisterizer SPF 30. Lake or beach days, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF70 (although I just noticed they’ve come out with a SPF 100! that I have to try) with Hawaiian Tropic Sunblock Ozone Sport SPF 60+ for non-face skin. (Seriously, if you guys are fair and heading to the beach, get this stuff. It’s thick as heck but the best and longest lasting sunscreen I’ve ever tried. and I’m a super fair-skinned redhead form Florida so I know sunscreens)

MAC Prep + Prime Face SPF50 some days (creamy texture, doubles as makeup primer), Sofina HADAKA UV Protect Moisturizer SPF24 other days (liquid texture, dries down quickly, matte finish).

I used to use the same one as jojoba, but I’ve been using Pevonia Botanica’s Hydrating Suncreen SPF 30. No breakouts, barely any scent, and fast-absorbing. It literally blurs all imperfections, too – very neat. Only downside is that it does leave a white cast, so I make sure not to wear it if I know cameras are around.

Year round, i use moisturizers & makeup with SPF. For ex., right now my moisturizer is SPF 15 & my foundation is SPF 20. When i am going to the beach or know i will be exposed to sun for hours, then i kick it up a notch with any oil-free face sunscreen that’s 30 or higher!

Prep n Prime spf 50 or Cetaphil spf 50..lovin both! Unfortunately the Anthelios I was using before broke me out and made me into a greaseball..but still on the lookout for my HG!

Avon Anew Alternative intensive age treatment spf 25!! I don’t need the age stuff but it’s not greasy and doesn’t break me out so I love it and the age stuff is a bonus which is always good!!

DDF Enhancing Sun Protection SPF30 – my selection is a bit limited as I’m allergic to just about all the chemical sunscreens (or their degradation products i.e. I start itching ~1hr in the sun, presumably after the ingredients start breaking down on my skin). I really like this sunscreen! I’m about to start my third tube, but am considering adding a primer to help w/ oilies during the warmer weather.

neutrogena ultra sheer face spf 45 mind you i’ve only been using it a week. my mac foundations all have SPF but now that i am nearing 30 i want be more cautious as i am starting to see the lines starting to form (EWW). anyway i am experimenting with a few samples as well: clarins UV Plus day screen emulsion spf 40; mac prep n prime spf 50; biotherm spf 30 face multi protection sun cream; clinique spf 30 body cream. i am not super sun sensitive i am more cautious to find a product that will work for combination-acne prone skin that goes well without or under makeup. want to also try kerres, la roche posay and cetaphil brands. if the ultra sheer works i might not have to. wish me luck and suggestions are welcomed.

Netrogenga Ultra Sheer Body Mist SPF60 with Helioplex.
I like it for the Aerosol and the SPF60 but I’m not sure if its the sunscreen but the three times I’ve used it I’ve burnt 🙁
