Please could you recommend a nice suntan cream for the face?

Ultrasun without a doubt. It's quite expensive but worth it especially if you are fair skinned like me. Only needs putting on once a day too.
Go to QVC whee they often have offers on duo packs or sets or Superdrug have it.
I was lucky and managed also to get some from the duty free shop - if it's opened, it's ok for 12 months , unopened ok for up to 3 years!

If you have an Avon rep in your area they also do a good cream for the face, it is factor 50 and I have used it for years.
I think they do it in a matte formula as well as a creamy one.

I use Nivea Sun, protect and care roll-on. It’s a children’s one, factor 50+. Extra water resistant. Works really well.

You must make sure it is a UVA one.

I use Clarins factor 50.

I am very fair skinned and very high risk- last year I had skin cancer - alls well now but I’m very careful.

I use a mineral sunscreen, it’s a powder with a built in brush that you just swirl over your face. Doesn’t remove your makeup, does remove shine , and protects your skin - win win win.

Are you asking for sun protection or self tanner?

For self tanner I like L'oreal Sublime Bronze. I prefer a tinted one so i can see if there are any streaks, and use it sparingly.
