HELP! Best Sunblock for the FACE :)

[aubreyb]

Mga sisses okay lang ba ang beach hut na 100spf sa mukha?

Natry ko na ilagay sa face pero nagbreak out ako. I tried din yung lower spf Beach Hut na spray version sa face and break out din ako. I recently tried Pevonia hydrating sunscreen spf 30. Tried tested ko na, kahit nung nagcampaign kami for election nung Wednesday, matte pa din face ko kahit bilad sa araw. walang break outs

[petlovah]

I'm not sure if this is considered as sunblock. I use the Olay Regenerist with spf 30. Got break outs too with beach hut

[Ireneeeeee]

got breakouts with neutrogena helioplex. sa belo for face ako super hiyang. naka 3 bottles na ata ako nito.

I use this too.  I like it coz it's anti-ageing and a sunblock in one.

^me too, i love olay regenerist spf 30 kasi non greasy.

Alam ko anything more than SPF 50 is a waste! Ang mahal naman ng bili nyo sa Shiseido Anessa, bili ko nung sakin Anessa Gold, 60ml, 1700 lang. Bumili ako ng 2! Walang expiration date nga eh. Gaano katagal usually nyo nauubos isang bottle nito?

Been using Belo's SPF 40 Facial Sunblock. So far I'm loving it! No breakouts (though I hardly get breakouts from skin products), non-sticky, and no offending smell.

Wanted to love this - made my skin super soft. Kaya lang grease ball ako within an hour of applying.

I use VMV Armada SPF 30 for everyday, and for extreme sun exposure, I bump up the protection with VMV Armada SPF 60.

Both have a semi-matte finish, never broke me out, and have adequately protected my skin (I get zits when I have too much sun).

Try korean products. I use skinfood Gold kiwi sun cream (spf 35) indoors and Etude House Sun Prise spf 45 when outdoors. The consistency is really light and easily absorbed by the skin.

guys, try to go organic kasi super harsh ng chemical content nung iba, carcinogenic pa. a bit pricey but totally worth it in terms of our long term health. here are your options should you switch:

-MyChelle Replenishing Solar Defense SPF 30
-Vitamin C Moisture Plus Lotion SPF 15 by Avalon Organics
-Nature's Gate Mineral Sportblock
-Alba Botanica Mineral Sunscreen
-Jason Mineral Sunblock
-Jason Facial Natural Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF20

So it's between OBAGI and Shisheido. A bit expensive but I hope hiyang sa skin ko. I easily get rashes kasi and yun nga I break-out pag masyadong heavy. Anyway, may cheaper alternative ba if ever? I just really want a sunblock that doesn't feel heavy and mag mu-muka akong geisha.

I agree with some sis here na obagi and japan sunblock is best..kung di kaya ng budget mo sis try yung L'Oreal youth code daycream spf 30 or neutrogena .

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^^sis, salamat sa unsolicited advice mo, pero may thread ata para dyan.

^hindi ako bilib sa Japanese sunscreens in terms of sun protection. I've used it for years, tapos when I switched, pumantay kulay ko sa face. Dati mas maitim face ko sa neck, ngayon medyo pantay na.

[AngelicFez]

^anong gamit mo sis? obagi kasi gamit ko & nung una ok sya pero ngayon parang nagkaron ako ng sun spots

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^Obagi sunshield sis. Pero pag prone ka to sun spots, try mo mga Euro sunscreens like La Roche Posay, Bioderma, Vichy or Avene. Mas higher PPD rating kasi sila, which is a measure of protection against discoloration.

[minatay91]

^ i've always thought that the countries that were extremely nitpicky about sunscreens was either japan or euro-based.. now confused ako which one to get LOL especially for the face. Cetaphil sunblock was okay for me, but I feel it's not strong enough and medyo "greasy" ako tingnan and I need to wait before applying bb cream. I've switched to VMV Armada after a GTalker recommended it to me after I asked ano sunblock may zinc oxide and Im liking it!

Ano po may zinc oxide na mataas din ang UVA protection po sisses? preferably for the face

[AngelicFez]

^^sis pareho pala tayo ng gamit.. sayang nga medyo matte finish pa naman obagi sunshield no? sige maghahanap ako ng euro brand na pwede sa sensitive & oily/combi skin ko.. thx again!
