badly tanning

11fernsroad

Hi
I am 50 male asian.
last 2 years my friends are noticing that I am tanning badly if stepping out in sun (even evenings) for 30 mins.
I have an oily skin and washes my face often to remove the shine.
Usual SPF 20 and 30 creams don't seem to work for me and often makes my face look even more oily!!

Is there any non greasy SPF 50 cream any one would suggest.
Is there any thing else i should be looking at?

I really like the Superdrug mattifying ones, like this: https://www.superdrug.com/Skin/Sun-Care/Face-Sun-Cream/Solait-Mattifying-Face-Fluid-SPF50Very-High-50ml/p/769671

If your face is oily, are you sure washing your face often isn't making it worse? It could be that you're drying your skin out too much, which then makes your face produce more oil. I'd try not washing so often, or using a gentle cleanser instead of water (and definitely no soap).

Its pricey but Ultrasun do a sports gel one in 20,30 and 50. A cream specifically for the face will do the job too.

On the oily skin front every time you wash your face you are stripping it of oils so it will just produce more and more.
