  I just bought Dr G BB cream.  But it's only 30 spf niah.  I like it to be higher. 

   

  I want a 50 spf one with good coverage so that I can go without foundation. 

   

  Any recommendation?

  Missha M Perfect has SPF 42

  BB creams too high SPF bery oily
  
  integrated SPF in makeup not as good as using sunblock on its own

  Ultra Sheer Sunblock from Neutrogena at $16.75 and Watsons is giving extra 20 points for members.  

  Read that the ingredient in Neutrogena's sunblock products can cause harm to hormone.

  neutrogena ultra sheer was not bad
  literally ultra sheer
  and sets relli fast

  but i kinda dun like the smell
  

  mentholatum acnes UV tinted milk SPF50 is pretty good so far

   

  though i think i may go back to sunkiller or sunplay

  I am actually concerned about the side effect ultra sheer will bring.    Am just telling myself will stop using this after I finished what I have bought.

  Thanks for recommendation.

  other higher-end drugstore-available brands u can consider are ROC and LRP

• hasene

  14 Sep 10, 13:07

  LRP is oily though provides good protection.   Don't want to spend too much on sun block.

  I have tried the sample for SPF 30 Loreal Perfect, it is matte and non oily but somehow I feel that SPF 30 is not sufficient for the humid, hot weather in Singapore.

• FireIce

  14 Sep 10, 13:09

  depends on how long u are outdoors.

  the SPF in makeup is not power enuff.
  
  sunblock is relli impt
  prevents aging
  so it shd be an investment

• hasene

  I am always in and out (indoor and outdoor) frequently so I am doubtful SPF 30 is sufficient.  

• FireIce

  14 Oct 10, 00:10

  somehow i cant find sunkiller
  im considering this next........
  

   

  BOUGHT!!!!!!!

  SPF 30 won't be enough for you.

  I am using SPF50 liao.  cuz my office is quite a walking distance from the lunch place and MRT station and along the way, there are not that many shelters.

  Is it true that Tanning oil is recalled or banned in Singapore? :(

  Is there any thing for you to get a great tan?

  started on the eversoft one i posted above

  pretty good.

  not the wet type. texture quite similar to bb cream.
  non-greasy, absorb well.
  act as a good makeup base..... (makeup can stay longer)
