Are there any good sunscreens that don't smell like disgusting medicine? I hate wearing it because I can smell it and it doesn't smell good. I also hate how I feel coated with it.
Maybe try one of the spray sunscreens. I've used the coppertone sports ones, but they smell like sunscreen but the Neutrogena spray mist ones are really nice. Very cooling and refreshing, have a slightly fresh scent, not sunscreeny at all! And they protect very well. Juts make sure you rub it in around your shoulders and knees, for whatever reason it doesn't sink in as well here and will let your skin burn.
It is so important to use sunscreen all the time! So even if you can't find a perfect one, try to find one that you like okay and just tough it out. It's going to be so worth it when you look like a 30 year old when you're 50, haha!
I don't know why Beautylish deleted my comment when I hit the back arrow, but if this double posts I'm so sorry.
Anyway, what I said before was try a Neutrogena spray sunscreen. The products are refreshing and cooling and they have a nicely scented fresh smell. My only problem with them is that around the sockets, your arm and leg sockets that is, they don't tend to really sink in well can leave your skin exposed. But spraying a little on your fingers and rubbing it in will solve that no problem.
Just make sure you do find a sunscreen you like. It may take some time, and experimenting with a lot of different products but believe me when I say you'll appreciate it when you're 50 and you look like you're still 30 years old! =)
i find some of the oil free ones smell a little less or a lot of foundations and moisturizer have some SPF in them. I know I hate smelling like a bottle of water babies or panama jack!
go for fragrance free and check out the ones made especially for babies, it will be the most gentle for your skin :) Neutrogena make some great ones if you're looking for a specific brand and they wear really nicely under makeup!
