Too sticky, too oily or too thick – these are just a few of the excuses women make for not wearing a daily SPF. If you’re one of those women who think the SPF in their foundation is enough, it’s time to get educated! UV rays cause sun spots, wrinkles and premature ageing despite the weather conditions – even the cloudiest of days allow harmful rays to penetrate your skin.

I have not tried any of these sunscreens. .Would consider Bio-Nike
I would love to try the Bionike sunscreen and the Vichy BB cream.
I wear sunscreen on my face every day. The Clinique Cityblock is a lightweigt formula that offers a lot of protection. I love it and always have one on hand. They say even the fluorescent lighting in offices are dreadful for our skin and that’s why I use sunblock every day even if I am only in the office.
I love Bioderma’s SPF 50 light for the face, it’s amazing and non-greasy. It just leaves my skin glowing which is fantastic. It also doesn’t pull if I apply a BB cream over it when I want more coverage.
I haven’t tried any of these but I’m considering trying out the BioNike Acteen Sun 50+ Gel-Cream
I have the Bioderma Photomderm Max. I love how lightweight the fluid is. It spreads easily and does not leave that weight veil that other sunscreens leave.
I’ve tried the Avon Sun Protecting Balm,very nice!
Oh yes. I use Nivea protect & bronze SPF 50 face cream. I love it!
