I live in Spain and can't find a reasonable facial moisturiser that doesn't 'sweat' after I put it on, any suggestions anyone please?

Clinique Moisture Surge is a good one for a hot climate - easily absorbed and non greasy.

Thanks Susiecb - I'll look for it when I am next in UK although I suppose it might be cheaper here!

Gosh it's jolly expensive isn't it?

Body Shop has a tinted moisturiser - Factor 30 - which isn't greasy and my skin absorbed it easily.

Correction: the Body shop moisturiser is Vitamin C Daily Moisturiser - SPF 30 and it isn't tinted.

It is but so lovely to use.

Thanks Annobel will have a look for that one too.

alam2 go to one of the perfumia shops in your local area they will have a wide selection for you to try and you will find most of the girls have english as a language,or try the dutch health shops they carry a wide selection of natural products and they are not too expensive (you will never see a dutch women paying over the odds for skin care)I used to always use the Spanish products but can't for the life of me remember the name confusedthey will definanatly be cheaper in Spain.

Healthspan do these great skincare products for 'ladies of a certain age' and I find they don't feel sticky when its hot. You can buy online, they deliver to Europe and they are very reasonably priced. They're called Nurture..what a nice word.

Thanks Glammanana and Specki4eyes - will investigate both, no worries about them speaking English - my Spanish is pretty good!

My money is on Clinique Moisture Surge - expensive but worth it. wink

If you're flying in you can buy Clinique products cheaper at the Duty Free shop...I ask my SiL to bring me the hand cream whenever she comes over from Switzerland.wink

It's even cheaper in the States! grin
