I really want an all day UVA and UVB stable sun cream for my face. That I don't have to reapply after I've put it on in the morning. I was using the Riemann P20 once a day stuff but it's so oily my makeup seems to dissolve into it after a few hours.. Plus I think it's clogging up pores aswell. Does anyone know how reliable the benefit new SPF one is for all day protection or something else? I have an oily tzone with normal/dry cheeks, in the heat I try not to wear too much foundation/concealer so my tan is even but my skin is important to me so what can I use to protect it?

I don't think all day protection is possible with SPF, tho I could be wrong. However Shelley suggested the Colorescience portable mineral sunscreen and I love it. It's super easy yo brush on during the day.

You can also buy a foundation with spf in it. It's not as strong and you should still wear a sunscreen underneath but it still gives protection.

I like the neutrogena clear face spf30

And as far as not reapplying that is something you just have to do - because SPF doesn't have a very long lifespan when it's exposed to the UV radiation the Max it can last is 80-90 minutes so you will always have to reapply that's just the nature of SPF.

Only a minreal block sunscreen will last all day. regular sunscreen last approximately 2 hours. Avene makes a great minreal block sunscreen, and good for sensitive skin.

So how does everyone get round the makeup issue if you're constantly reapplying sunscreen throughout the day? Isn't that just a mess of layers of dirt and oil for your pores? I will look into the mineral stuff it's something I've not really looked into but definitely interested.

All spf have to be reapplied. But, good news... blockers, like minerals coat skin.

A combo of spf 30, mineral, and a vit c serum is perfect.

Did you know, daily vit c boosts spf by at least 15-20%

Amy, does the vit c increase the efficacy of SPF by 15-20%? Did not know that, but good to know!

Yes, it does... but you have to use it daily. Morning and night.

Didn't know that Amy, thank you. Sounds like a perfectly achievable way to get the right protection, thank you. Now to find a suitable suncream that I like! :-S :-)
