Hi everyone! This post is themed around the recent weather we've been having in the UK, which has been beautiful! I really hope it stays like this, as at the moment, I am revising for my A levels, and would like some sunny weather when they're finished, not just to distract me while I'm supposed to be revising! Anyway, In my opinion, SPF for oily skin is one of the hardest things to find: so many just leave your face looking like an oil slick within a couple of hours! After trying several, I have found 4 which are fantastic. The prices range from just £2.50 to just under £17, so there's something for all budgets!
"LA ROCHE ANTHELIOS Extreme Face Fluid includes
SPF 50 for very high protection against UVA/UVB rays and especially formulated
for sensitive skin that may be oily or imperfection prone."
This
is a fantastic high-factor SPF. It is a very runny liquid which glides on to
the skin, and doesn't leave a sticky residue. Instead, it gives your face a
wonderful glow and fantastic UVA/UVB protection. It does leave a little white
caste on your face, but nothing a little bit of powder can't fix! I find this
doesn't break me out, and doesn't make my skin too oily, either. A
fantastic buy if you have very pale skin, like me!
"This mattifying
face sun fluid is specially formulated with a unique combination of photostable
sunscreens to help protect the face, hands and chest area against UVA (ageing)
and UVB (burning) rays. Quickly absorbed and leaves no residue,
this formula helps prevent the appearance of lines, wrinkles and age
spots."
This
is a new purchase, but so far, so good! This has a similar texture to the La
Roche Posay, however it doesn't leave a white caste - hurrah! I've found its
oil-control abilities to be great so far, and it leaves my skin feeling smooth
and hydrated. Big thumbs up so far, especially for the bargain price tag!
"A
hydrating moisturiser to protect skin from daily aggressions and help prevent
skin ageing caused by the sun. For normal to combination dehydrated sensitive
skin."
If
you're a regular reader of my blog, you will have seen me sing this little
gem's praises on numerous occasions. I like to use this during the cooler
months, and a higher SPF during the summer. It has a very similar
texture to a light moisturiser, and also sinks into the skin extremely quickly.
It leaves my skin feeling extremely soft, and also looking matte ALL DAY, yes,
all day! I would highly recommend this as a daily SPF for people with
troublesome combination/oily skin.
"Advanced
UVA/UVB Protection for Sun-Sensitive Skin.This Piz Buin sun protection face
cream combines advanced filters with Calmanelle which helps strengthen skin's
resilience."
This SPF is also a new purchase,
however, I really like it so far! The texture is thicker than all of the other
suncreams mentioned, however, it still feels very light on the skin. The smell
is gogeous - it doesn't at all have that "suncream" smell, but
instead it smells really floral!
Have you found the perfect summer time SPF? Do share!
