Is anyone here using L'Occitance product for the face and if so, what UV protector do you use? L'Occitance has SPF 20 but I am looking for something stronger like 30 or above.

Re: UV Protector for the face

Andrew Lessman has one for face and body. It is highly rated but I have to say that it does leave a white cast. So I am not necessarily recommending that. Actually what I do is use my moisturizer then I use Josie's SPF 47 but not the tinted version. I use the amount of hers as one should when using any sunscreen. My skin is dry so it can handle the extra hydration.

I use Dr.Denese Day cream and love it. It's a multi tasking product (SPF 30.moisturizer and light coverage bb/cc cream. It feels light on the skin. I wear it alone of sometimes I use Laura Geller's B&B on top of it when I'm having some "issues".

I have been using Elta Clear Broad Spectrum UV 46 for several years.  It does not feel like a sunscreen, absorbs quickly, no white cast and feels more like a moisturizer.   I use it winter and summer.

Elta MD is the only sunscreen I'll use on my face. You can buy it on Amazon.

@sue311 Dr. Denese's SPF 30 Defense Day Cream which has  broad specrum uva/uvb oil free, zinc based.  It goes on thick and stays on throughout the day.  It has been in her line since her beginning on qvc, is tinted and may have been the first cc cream.  I wear this every day under my foundation which is bare minerals and that has sun protection as well.

I am using Andrew Lessman new spf and it doesn't leave a white cast on my skin at all. I mix it with other creams too and no weird pilling on my skin.

Do you think mixing with creams does anything to the SPF?  I hear of people doing this and wonder if it "dilutes" the SPF somehow.

Paula's Choice Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30. It has zinc oxide and a light tint so there's no white cast. I love the texture and it blends really well.
