Is the SPF in my BB Cream enough or should I also be using sunblock under it?? I'm huge about sun protection and my makeup is SPF 25 I think. Is that enough?? I also really don't want my face to get too greasy and clog up my pores. :0.

That is a good amount.

I'm an esthetician and from what I've learned from school and past experience is that you can not rely solely on your makeup for sun protection. Yes, it will help, but as a rule you're not wearing enough of it to get the protection advertised. It's definitely best to also use sun protection made for your face. Personally I use Skin Script Sheer Protection SPF 30, it works great on my oily skin.

I agree with Brittany. The SPF in your makeup varies based on how much you apply and where. Not to mention you should reapply sun protection every 90 minutes to two hours, and I doubt anyone does their whole face makeup several times a day.
