I use make up for face but make surenit has a high SPF and wear a vizor on the g9lf course to protect my eyes and nose which can be seen from space. This year I have Clarins and Clinique sun creams for arms and legs all else stays covered.

DH has extremely sensitive skin especially on his face when in the sun and sweating, causing patchy swollen red areas made worse because he has watery eyes anyway. He now uses a facial sun cream with a factor 30 Soltan sensitive sun cream over the top and it does the trick.

Nivea sensitive children's factor 50 is working for me at the moment (in California on hols). I have had the same eye sensitivity in the past.

the different suncream is expressly for the face, which is easier to use.

just for general information, this months which magazine tested Aldi sun cream and it came out top. only £2.50 each, though not sure about whether it stings, suspect mot of them do. i have a different suncream with a high spf which is easier to use.

This happens to me. I think it's because I must unintentionally get it on my eyebrows and as it sort of melts in a little it runs into my eyes. I only 'think' this is the reason and this post has reminded me to be careful next time I apply it.

Soltan at Boots do one for sensitive skin which I use on my face as I have the same problem.

I use a separate sun cream for my face. It is labelled as a facial sun cream.

I have finally and sensibly started using a high factor sun cream . However even though I am very careful near my eyes they start to sting and water even though I am not sweating . Can anyone recommend one . I have tried 3 just this year !
