PREFERABLY ONE THAT IS NON GREASY!!!! PLEASE

I am terribly naughty and really don't like wearing suncream, even the facial specific as I find it too greasy/shiny/oily. I have a mole on my face which in the last few weeks has become a bit swollen/sore and I am making an appt to see my Dr about it tomorrow, I'm terrified it could be the start of something sinister but really just hoping it is pregnancy hormones that has affected it!!

So, considering this has been my warning I'm on the hunt for a good facial suncream and vow to be a good girl from now on and slip, slop, slap!!

Thanks in advance for your help.

(PS I dont wear make up so cant really get any SPF benefit from that.)

I use Hamiltons Everyday Face (matt) it doesn't look shiny on and is SPF 30+. it is available at most chemists

The Cancer Council one in the orange container. I think it's called "Everyday" (as opposed to their Classic, Sport, Toddler ones etc). Very affordable too.

I have a good friend who also loves the kind of sunscreen that goes on as a clear gel rather than a cream. Personally I find that kind too drying, but it might be worth trying. Ego Sunsense makes one:

I use the Cancer council yellow everyday and it is not greasy at all. Available from supermarkets and only about $12 a tube.

highly recommend.

Hamilton Everyday Face is pretty good. Nice and cheap from the chemist. It also doubles up nicely as a makeup primer tthumbs.gif.

I'm currently using Invisible Zinc ESP as I'm trying to steer away from chemical sunscreens. It's pretty good but a lot more expensive.

I've used Nivea 15+ every day for years & recently moved to the Vsage Q10 15+ & people tell me I look younger than 40 so I reckon it works lol
I find it works well & isn't greasy but depends on your skin.

Currently a Natio one but studies have shown best not to use a really $$$ one as you use less.
judy_that one sounds good

I have tried a HEAP of them and the only one which I like is Bloom Facial from Myer. Pricey but excellent.

I use a Dove moisturiser that is 20+ but it has always protected my skin really well.
