SPF and moisturiser/foundation

With summer coming up do you think the SPF in foundation/tinted moisturiser is enough or do you have it in your moisturiser aswell.

    I only have it in my moisturiser. I find it more than enough, my face never gets burnt.

    I've been following your other thread and am off to buy the Clinique supercity block spf 40 tomorrow. Most moisturisers with sunblock only do SPF 15 which is ok for wintertime but I'm feeling the need to go higher, especially since I have rosacea. Last time around i used the Origins SPF25 sunblock but it definitely felt more like a sunblock than a moisturiser you could put makeup over IYSWIM. would be interested for any other recommendations for high SPF moisturisers.

    I am going to try the ultrasun facial moisturiser this year.

    I dont spend loads of time outside and have only tended to use spf when I am sitting in the sun but know that I should be using an spf all year round

    Boots no 7 do some high factor facial creams that are not too thick, I used them last year as I need to use an SPF every day. I think they do 30 and 50 and they are about £11.00.

    I use La Roche Posay, my skin can be pretty sensitive to new products, but this one has been okay, they do 50/60SPF. <3

    After trying so many brands I found Avene spf 50 high protection works for me and have been using it every summer for a few years now. It's really good, it moisturises, doesn't leave a white cast, and doesn't clog my pores :)

    I bought a few tubes online last summer as they were on offer on echemist. NB. Avene & La Roche posay products have expiration dates too, which is a great as most products don't have them in the uk.
