Estranged 7 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hey guys, I have two moisturisers: dove essential nutrients spf 15 lotion and olay complete all day uv spf 15 lotion. the dove makes me look tired and sort of dead? (really defines the bags under my eyes) and i think the olay one may break me out.. i need to use one until i get get another one.. any suggestions anyone? would be much appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
underneath32 71 Share Posted March 5, 2014 The olay complete all day uv spf 15 lotion has reasonably good reviews, perhaps have a look on the reviews to see if there is more information that may assist with your decision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrsrobinson 199 Share Posted March 5, 2014 looking tired vs breaking out..............hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'll take the Dove and look tired any day over breaking out you can put makeup over the moisturizer to look awake at night try a little coconut oil under the eyes till you get your new moisturizer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GigglingMuffins 4 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The best day time moisturizer with SPF that I've tried is the Desert Essence Gentle Nourishing Day Cream with SPF 15. That stuff is sooo soothing, it makes my skin feel amazing. It's kind of pricey, about $19, but it lasts a really long time because you only need a little bit. I have also tried the Olay Complete one, I didn't really like it that much... It wasn't great. I highly recommend Desert Essence though, I got mine at whole foods. i'm sure you can find it online if you don't have a whole foods near you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Estranged 7 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 anywhere i could get that in australia? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unreality 1 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Try any of the Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunscreens. Should be available in any aussie supermarket. You'll need a separate moisturiser product though since it's not enough by itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Estranged 7 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 like which moisturiser product though? do you know of any moisturisers with spf so its less time consuming to apply haha? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Estranged 7 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 oh and im reading reviews of this neutrogena sunscreen, it wouldnt be preferred to have the moisturiser coming off with sweating, as im a very active guy and especially at school when we have sport and pe etc. would be a bit of a pain :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unreality 1 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Moisturizers with SPF are generally not effective at all since you're not actually putting on enough sunscreen for it to work, a dedicated sunscreen product is what you need if you actually want any sun protection. What about neutrogena sport face sunblock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What about neutrogena sport face sunblock? There's no difference between a "moisturizer" with SPF and just a regular sunscreen. They're technically both "moisturizers". As long as you apply at least 1/4 of a teaspoon for your face you'll be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No luck so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unreality 1 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Estranged, go to your local Woolies and check out some of the sunblock there. I know there will be at least Neutrogena, Cancer Foundation, and Banana Boat sunscreen. (Woolies owns Countdown in NZ and we've got those 3 here) Look for SPF30+ or greater.
