I've been using the high SPF, face-specific sunscreen from Neutrogena...I have to after seeing the dermatologist this summer, who told me had to continue using high SPF for my skin exposed areas when outdoors during day.
But am beginning to wonder if this brand is drying out my cheeks abit. My skin on my nose and chin is different --since it's always been naturally oilier and sweatier.
Thought I'll never say this in my earlier years, but now that I am getting older and also having alot of exposure to outdoors daily, I would like to find an oil-free, hypoallergic moisturizer to delay face wrinkles and preferably, with high SPF. I really don't want to get into spending alot of money in experimenting several different brands before hitting right one for me.
For general moisturizer without SPF when I get out of the shower, I use Marcelle, oil-free (and it must be alcohol free also). Have not moved to try Olay or even more expensive brands because I don't want to cope with more cost of trying nor possibility of skin breakouts.
I'm super particular on creams on my face...as a teenager I had acne and underwent a regime of oral tetracycline, certain hypoallergic soap (Allenburys works for me), etc. according to dermatologist's guidance. My skin hasn't broken out since my early 20's but that is partially due to my tendency not to wear makeup often and just aging I guess. I cannot consider wearing Vaseline or cold creams on my face skin. Forget it.
Would be interested in hearing how others here for daily outdoor exercise, cope for T combination face skin --oily zone but dry/normal zone on cheeks...as you age.
