my face hurts

[wendykh]

So, I am outside all the time now.
I put on sunscreen.
But my face is all... well.. white zinfandel coloured.
I never had this problem in Montreal because, well, I was depressed and rarely left my bed unless required. Now I walk dogs and actually like being outdoors.

I should wear daily sunscreen on my face. What do you recommend that is not oily, won't dry me out, won't feel... ooky?

Please share.

I use face cream that has sunscreen in it. I can't use regular sunscreen on my face (not even the one made for "faces"). HTH.

I was figuring as such. What kind, like... cold cream or something?

/is clueless of makeup beyond lipstick, mascara, brow pencil, foundation.

excellent!

That's what I was going to suggest too. Any actual sunscreen is too oily.

A hat. (I hate sunscreen, it smells gross.)

What did you use in Japan? Your face was all golden coloured when you came back.

That's not a bad idea either! But I have a huuuuge head. No really, monstrous. It's not obvious until I try to put on hats. Hard to find ones that fit. I do want to get a good hat though.

I never used anything in Japan... but I was also usually sleeping during the time of most intense sunlight.

I use Happyderm face moisturizer. It has SPF 15.

I luff.

Apparently they don't sell it in the US?

I just learned that. I stockpiled over the summer when it was on sale for $5.50 instead of $14

You can buy nice mousturizers that have sunscreen.

Cetaphil makes one now.

I personally use clear zince oxide from the dollar store.
