I don't have a special method or product just for removing sunscreen, it just gets washed off with everything else when I cleanse my face at night.  My nighttime cleanser is Dr. Young Camellia Deep Cleansing Oil.

Sunscreen should just come off with a good facial cleanser. Nothing more needed than that. Much of your sunscreen will come off with water, hence the reason the instructions state to reapply after swimming or sweating and every few hours.

I don't do anything special to remove sunscreen; it comes off when I wash my face at night, just like makeup. On days I wear only sunscreen and no makeup, I might use a baby wipe to remove it instead of doing a deep cleaning. Other days I use my cleanser of choice and or my Foreo Luna Mini.

I wear it everyday now as well. I just wash it off with regular cleanser at the end of the day

Like other posters, I've worn sunscreen on my face for years. In the summer, I also wear it on my arms and hands. It's amazing what the sun can do to your skin simply by your driving around in a car! So I, too, just wash it off every night - no big deal.

HappyDaze, that's true for regular sunscreen, but you need a cleansing oil to remove the type that are highly water resistant. I have yet to rub or sweat off the ones from Shiseido with zinc oxide, and without an oil, I'd still have some on even after five washings. That stuff sticks like glue.

I suppose it depends on what type of cleanser you are using. I've used all kinds of sunscreen and all types of facial cleansers and never had an issue getting them off, even the water resistant kind. I even used to use Shiseido and at that time, I wasn't using an oil cleanser and still was able to remove it all.

I use alba Botanica physical sunscreen (they offer face & body).  I use Neutrogena Pore Refining facial wash because it never dries my skin and gets it really clean.  I follow with Marula oil as it keep my skin balanced.

I use a typical foaming cleanser.  Not all of the Shiseido sunscreens are highly water resistant the way the ZO ones are, and they do recommend a heavy-duty makeup remover to get it off.  Even with oily skin, heat, humidity and blotting, that stuff sticks like glue.  There are other resistant sunscreens, and they come off easily.  This is a different animal entirely.
