Good SPF30 moisturisers

Dill

Amazon sell Neutrogena Dry Touch in a SPF 30 or 45. It's not greasy or chalky but you probably won't need a moisturiser on top of it, unless you've got very dry skin. Usually sells for under a tenner, but it takes a couple of weeks to arrive because it comes from the States. (They often have better sunscreens than we do, better UVA protection)

I have terrible trouble finding a moisturiser to use because so many of them have UVA protection which irritates my skin.

I used to use No7 Protect & Perfect but then they changed the formula to include the UVA protection and I didn't notice when I bought it. First time I used it my face was like a belisha beacon within a few minutes! Ouch!

I'm fine with Nivea suncream though. Weirdly.

You will have trouble, zephyr, because the UVA protection is what prevents the skin from ageing, which is what most women want. You'll be hard pushed to find a sunscreen without it.

I was going to say ultrasun, I use it daily and don't experience greasyness, chalkyness or a white residue.

I've tried the Simple SPF30 today (reduced to £3.33 in Boots) and it is actually like an improved version of the Ultrasun so definitely give it a try if you use Ultrasun a lot.

Almost identical in texture, much like Ultrasun I found it takes a bit of rubbing in and initially leaves me a bit white faced, however it does seem to sink in better/quicker and is perfectly moisturising and calming (no irritation).

It is a bit too rich/creamy for my oilier skin so I'll be trying others, but it certainly isn't the worst I've tried. Beats some £20+ brands for me.

Cerave's day moisturiser is good and not too expensive. I use this and buy it from Amazon.

It only offers two hours of non water proof spf protection though, which will be an issue for many. Personally I can't use simply products as it flares up my eczema.
