Hello
I am a sunscreen freak. I put it on every/single/day regardless of whether I am going to be in the office all day or outside doing something. Granted on work days I only put it on in the AM before I go to work, so by the time lunch rolls around and I've stepped outside to grab lunch it's probably gone... I need to improve on that.
At any rate, what's your sunscreen of choice?
I use Neutrogena Dry Touch 30 for the days I'm just going to work. Love that stuff. It really is "dry touch" and as a bonus it helps makeup glide on. But it's not sticky or smelly or anything.
When Neutrogena went to 45-55-70 etc and started using Helioplex, I've no doubt it's more of a broad based spectrum SPF but wow does it smell, does it burn, and does it leave me sticky (also clown white!). I hate it. Won't use it on my face (burns) and won't use it anywhere else unless I'm going to be outside for exercise and to be honest, not even that anymore. Why? Because Neutrogena came out with a dry-touch spray, 70 SPF and no doubt higher.. that actually is a lot closer to dry touch than the cream. It's slightly sticky, but not too bad. It dries quickly and doesn't feel clammy. I don't know if it covers as well as the cream. I spray all over and then massage it in to make sure I got it everywhere.
I'd love to find another fallback face sunscreen, and especially one that I can use on my face under makeup/before work (meaning gentle and truly invisible once you spread it). When I'm actually working out, outside, I don't mind smelly/sticky quite as much because I'm going to get plenty smelly and sticky on my own. haha
