non greasy sunscreen for face

[archangeli]

Ombrelle for all over. I used to use it on my face too, but now I stick with EL Daywear SPF 15 with Bare Escentuals on top.

Last summer when I was in Germany I walked down to down and back not knowing it'd take an hour. I didn't get a sunburn or anything, but a couple days later all of my exposed areas of skin ended up getting a rash (sun allergy) EXCEPT my face since I am religious about using sunscreen on my face every day.

Found another thread that discusses photostability of sunscreens:

I use Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion for Face/Body which I believe is stable. This is definitely not greasy. In fact, it makes my foundation stay on longer. It received good reviews on MUA too.

I've been using lately MD Formulations face protector SPF 30. I'm not actually sure if it's photostable or not, but it's very good in that there is no ugly white cast, and doesn't feel oily on the skin. It's approved by the Skin & Cancer Foundation of Australia and we do have the highest rate of skin cancer in the world.

I can't remember which one it is but I seem to recall there is a difference between chemical sunscreens and physical sunscreens. I think this might be a physical one because of the high amount of zinc oxide in it.

Clinique City Block - it's oil-free

shiseido spf 55 (lotion or cream) is the best!

I like neutrogena dry touch.

i agree with piika, shiseido makes the best non-greasy sunscreen imo!
