Any suggestions for a lightweight sunscreen for normal mature skin. I want one to use on top of moisturizer, and one that does not leave a white cast.  Thank you!

I absolutely love Neutrogena Dry Touch.  No grease and your makeup won't slide.  It is white,  but "ultr sheer".  I don't apply that much and have no white cast at all.

I can not use any of those face sunscreens, they all burn my eyes.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

So sorry they burn your eyes.

 

I am a contact lens wearer, tear very easily, and haven't had any issue at all.

I use UltraSheer sunscreens, too. With those being a chemical type sunscreen it's recommended to apply to clean skin, except for a vitamin C serum on first. Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing into the skin where that gives you protection by reacting with your own body chemistry. The SPF listed on the bottle/tube is determined that way and if you apply chemical sunscreens on top of moisturizers or other products then the SPF will not be what it says on the bottle but something less plus the sunscreen will be vulnerable to breaking down prematurely on the surface rather than if it was absorbed. That's the reason why the directions say to wait 15 minutes before going into the sun...so that it can absorb and do it's job.

I love Supergoop. They have a clear option called Unseen Sunscreen and a tinted option called Matte Screen. I like both and neither leaves a white cast. One is chemical (but no oxybenzone) and the other is all mineral.
