The sun gives off light even if there are clouds. Have oily skin and hated wearing sunscreen. As I've got older have decided to do it even though I dislike it. No reason to pay for expensive skincare, then not use the one thing that really prevents aging. No skin care product stops the wrinkles & sag but SPF does help prevent it. Like PC SPFs and love Josie's tinted moisturizer SPF 47. Also like Cliniques city block, its a SPF that also acts like a primer. Also, mix in my spf with my moisturizer or serums, it goes on less chalky. 


Or helps to prevent skin cancer!!

Re: I HATE sunscreen. Help..

I would like to thank those that suggested Biore Japanese Sunscreen. I just put it in my cart so I will be adding this to my arsenal for my oustide skin care routine. I do work in an office for the bulk of the day, but do a great deal of outside activities and work, so I am always using sunscreen without makeup.

Re: I HATE sunscreen. Help..

I just went to Ulta and searched for SPF.  I found several makeup setting sprays with SPF.  Coola   http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod12131017

So they serve two purposes and layering all this SPF would seriously help you.  I haven't tried the one above, but the idea of them is awesome!

I've never been a fan of sunscreens either but after my father-in-law died of melanoma I decided I would make myself apply sunscreen daily. I always seemed to break out from them on my face. I told my dermatologist this and she gave me a sample of Elta MD tinted sunscreen. I LOVE it and just bought my second tube. It is a physical sunscreen and has a very light tint. There is no white cast at all. Hope you find a sunscreen you like because it is so important!


@kwkelley Elta has two tinted sunscreens and one is NOT just a physical sunscreen but a combo of both a physical and chemical sunscreen. Just an FYI for those of us who cannot use chemcial sunscreens! I am not sure what the exact name of the sunscreen you use is but if is the tinted one that actually has tinted in the name- UV Daily Tinted braod spectrum-than it actually does have chemical sunscreen in it as well.

I have a deluxe sample of this I got in my birchbox but it has chemical sunscreen in it which usually irritates my skin. I wasn't going to try it but I think I will and see how it goes because I really like the idea too although I will still always use a regular SPF underneath everything but this is a great way to touch up  throughout the day instead of the powder SPF I usually use.

HappyDaze, let me know how it goes. It is also a setting spray and is supposed to prevent makeup from fading, so that is a two fer!

I, also, hate sunscreen.  Last year I tried Josie Maran's moisturizer with SPF47.  I really like it.  Some of the reviews found it whitish or claulky, but  I didn't.  I just make sure to exfoliate before I use it, then kind of warm it in my palms.  The only thing that I might put on my face is a small amount of argan oil or rose hip oil on my cheeks before application.


I am also using this whenever I need to have a good sunscreen and since I am in AZ, that is most of the time. Really liking it. Mine is the one that is also a foundation .

Re: I HATE sunscreen. Help..

I don't like sunscreen either, but wear it religiously.  My favorites that are not heavy or smelly are:

 

~ Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30

 

~ EltaMD UV Physical Broad-Spectrum SPF 41

 

~ Kiss My Face Face Factor Sun Screen for Face and Neck, SPF 30

 

I've tried too many to count and this is my suggestion.
