Looking for recs for a physical sunscreen for the face that is waterproof/sweatproof.  One that doesn't feel gross.  

 

I have one that is okay for when I'm not sweating, but you don't want it getting in your eyes since it migrates when you sweat.

Maybe mineral sunscreens are more popular for the face, I only use mineral.

The Ordinary is supposed to have a new one.

@Shelbelle a mineral sunscreen is the same as a physical one vs a chemical one.  I need one that is water/sweat-proof.

I use Wegman's  KIDS 50. Great.

@Midmod The Ordinary's new sunscreen is not a Physical (or mineral) sunscreen.  It's a chemical one, and I see nothing about it being water or sweat proof.  Might as well just stick with Neutrogena Sport Face.

 

I mainly wanted a phyiscal (mineral) sunscreen so I could apply some of my skincare first.  You're not supposed to do that with the chemical sunscreens.

@ellaphant Thanks, but we don't have Wegman's here.

@Icegoddess Trader Joe's has a Mineral Sunscreen for the face. I have not tried the mineral one yet. 

Also, Sephora has its yearly Sun Safety Kit out with all proceeds going to Sloan Kettering. I just purchased mine. It typically contains some mineral sunscreens in trial sizes.

 

Hope this helps. Have a good day.

So sorry, I had the terms confused, thanks for the clarification.

I really like Andalou SPF 30, all zinc oxide, I use the one that is a CC Cream and tinted and smells like roses, but that dissapates quickly.
