What sunscreen to wear under makeup?

I love sunsence tinted 50+ for oily combo skin and Natio 50 +

+1 for Ultra Violette – whichever one suits your skin type best. I just started using it this year and it’s the first face sunscreen that’s actually worked for my combination skin (particularly the oily bits).

I’ve reported fitbeauty’s post because they’ve been spamming the forums.

Some BB cushion or CC cream out on the market comes in high SPF and light weight enough which i think it is quite suitable for replacement of typical greasy sun screen which is too heavy and thick if we need to apply another layer of foundation on for the day out. Hope it helps 🙂

I am using the LRP anthelious xl as well! (not the spray bottle, the little 50ml bottle) and so far really like it.

Following.

I use La Roche Posay Anthelious XL Ultra Light SPF50+
It is not thick and heavy.

As I am in my 30s, with medium- tan skin tone, I weaned from chemical sunscreens because I read chemical sunscreens alter skin cells. I watch Gothamista, Liam Yooh on YouTube regularly and they use mainly physical sunscreens (titanium oxide and zinc) and hybrid chemical-physical sunscreens without the bad chemical filters.

“No white cast, non greasy and beautiful under foundation” – I recommend Japanese and Korean physical sunscreens like Skin Aqua UV spf 50 and Make P:rem Blue Ray Sun Fluid (200 ml for $35 on ebay AU) both physical and both work as primer. I also use Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy Finish. I also liked the IT cosmetics CC cream and the CC powder BUT they’re shade range is horrible. The Tan in the cc cream is too dark, the medium cc cream is too light, while the cc powder in tan is too light.

I have used the Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence, but for my skin type (combination dry, with some large pores), it did not do much in way of protecting especially under the Australian sun. After skin procedures such as laser or meso microneedling, the Biore sunscreen burns my skin even after a week.

I’m going to start using a foundation/cc cream with spf 50 instead of applying it beforehand. I’m just waiting for my order of IT Cosmetics “Your Skin But Better” to come in and I’m going to use that then apply a small amount of foundation over areas I want a bit more coverage.

Honestly, I have always just used Asian (Japanese or Korean) sunscreens. They are lighter in consistency and does not leave the skin feeling sticky or greasy. I would suggest getting Biore (if you do not have sensitive skin towards alcohol in products) or SunPlay. I have also used Neutrogena matte finish sunscreen, which is rather good and not sticky. Nivea also have a light sunscreen for the face.

PS: SPFs in cosmetics are not sufficient for the amount of sunscreen that we should use, although they are definitely better than not using any and great for touch ups.
