How many of you wear sunscreen all the time (and not just on days where you're outside all day or going to the beach)? How long have you been doing this, why did you start and how is it going for you?


Can someone recommend a face sunscreen that is for sensitive skin and is NOT waterproof? I want to be able to use water only to get it off.

Anyone tried Invisible Zinc? or Dermalogica?

Only if Im going to be in the sun for an hour or so. Some sunlight is good for you.

hey there marmalade! Invisible zinc is good, but i work in a pharmacy and i definately reccomend dove tinted moisturiser as the best. you get foundation and sun protection in one. its fantastic! :spin:

Yeah my day moisturiser has sunscreen in it.

Neutrogena oil-free moisturiser with SPF 15.


I've been using it since I was about 13, because I don't want to get any more freckles.

Too much sunscreen can be hazardous to your skin apparently, so it's best to wear it only when you need to...

really? why? May be the chemicals are interfering with some people's skin?
