  Recently I tried Beauty Credit one for the face

  It's supposed to protect and whiten

  So far I'm not getting extra freckles and they seem lighter

  It's non-greasy too. I think I'll buy again

  hi, jus wan to ask, do u all apply sunblock/sunscreen on your eyes area too? and, if u apply makeup, how u re-apply sunblock/sunscreen on your face again (if let's say there's a need to re-apply)?

   

  thanks!

  if u no have eye cream with SPF, then u can apply sunblock around the eye area
  do not have to purposely rub a lot there, just spread around face normally
  
  use a sunblock with high SPF so it's last longer.... then u no need reapply makeup... such as SPF 50... which will give u 500 minutes of protection, roughly
  if your SPF is low and u are going to touch up makeup, use a PP or LP with SPF

  sunblock will be under makeup
  if u want to reapply sunblock, u can remove all the makeup and start all over
  
  if u no want the hassle, re-read my post above

  Oh I've been using a sunblock of SPF 50+ one for my face.

  But people has been telling me that it clogs pores easily.

• FireIce

  16 Apr 09, 15:19

  50+ shd be the max, even if u will be out the whole day......
  
  anything more than that will clog pores and hard to remove

  I have never used any sunblock or sunscreen on the face which does not cause oiliness.

  Try the one FireIce posted.

  Its Neutrogena dry Touch with helioplex.

   

  BTW, I hope everyone here is aware that your sunblock should not be kept and used after a year.

  Even the Neutrogena Dry Touch ones.  They have helioplex that stabalise the sunblock qualities.  It still not adviseable to keep and use them after a year.

  I just finished this and have just switched to La Roche Posay Very High Protection 50+.

  AVene is not bad.   

  La Roche (bottle form) - i like it as after applying it looks smooth and pores not so large as before.  but i don't understand why is it single + when it is stated on the box it is UVB/UVA.
