Sunscreen that absorbs well

Hi guys,
I always have issues with my sunscreen not absorbing well after putting on my moisturiser before foundation – which makes my face look terribly dewy – not quite the look I am after, especially in the heat.

I would like to hear of brands tried and tested that has maximum sun protection yet absorbs completely!

thanks!

    I have been using Olay Complete Defence 30+ for sensitive skin for years. I wear it when I`m travelling and am outdoors a lot. I`ve never been burnt wearing it and it doesn`t feel like you`re wearing a sunscreen.

    I`ve been using a Nivea Kids roll on on my body, it received good reviews in a Choice article on sunscreen and is effective and absorbs easily. The roll on makes it easy to apply as well.

    Woolworths 50+ Spray bottle is amazing it is so light and I can spend a whole day at the beach and only reapply once!

    For face with built in foundation: Foundation no more by Beauty by Nicholas is amazing! I would recommend using a brush to apply

    I`m using an Olay Complete Defence SPF30+ but I think with new regulations it`s just 30. Coming into Queensland summer, I really want to go to SPF50+.
    I was lucky enough to be trial team for La Roche Posay Anthelios Fluid – which absorbs if you don`t put a lot on, but I didn`t love it.
    I got Neutrogena`s SPF50+ after someone told me it`s what their dermatologist told them to buy.
    Haven`t had sunsense daily face for many many years, but now am considering going back to it, I remember liking it.
    And would love to try Ultraceuticals but it`s so much more costly than the others…

    I TOTALLY agree with Shaqui…dermalogica have loads of sunscreens designed for your skincare concerns and the booster is a thin product with SPF 30 that you simply MIX in with your moisturiser before applying. Too easy! xx

    Hey I use a Nivea one, they even have a moisturising version so you dont need a moisturiser and a sunscreen! It is great non sticky and absorbs really well!

    I have just started using Nivea Light Feel Daily Face Veil SPF30. It goes on really easily and is absorbed very quickly and apparently has no solid particles in it hence its absorbency. It was really cheap too ie less than $13 so it is a a good buy too. I find that I can use this and still use my mineral makeup which doesn`t go on very well if your face has too much oil on it.

    I bought Banana Boat Powder-dry because i was drawn to the fact that it dries like a powder.
    It`s true to its word, but i found that after putting it on skin, the “”powder”” becomes visible. I`m personally not a fan of putting it on the face.
