Hey all! My mom is a thirty seven year old woman who has oily skin. She is looking for a SPF moisturizer that keeps her skin breathable (doesn't clog pours) She doesn't exactly know any good ones and doesn't feel like wasting her money on one that doesn't work. Any advice?
I love Olay's Complete Care UV SPF15 day cream. I use the one for dry/normal skin type but I know they do one for oily skin types as well! Its around £5 and the pot goes a long way.
there's this really amazing one I used by ShiSeido and it's super light and it's SPF 42 PA+++, it's water resistant and oil free, downside is it's pretty pricey, you can get it from Sephora...
For oily skin it's recomended spf from mineral UV-blockers, like titanium dioxide and zinc oxides are key ingredients you should look for, these won't clog pores. Dermalogica and MD formulations has some good products with SPF.
I concur on titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Unlike chemical sunscreens, these sit on the skin and reflect the uv light away from your skin. It's hard to find moisturizers with these that don't also include chemical sunscreens (I'm allergic to the chemical ones.) but they do exist. You can also get a non-spf moisturizer and follow it with mineral makeup like Bare Escentuals or Larenim mineral as most mineral foundations have about SPF 15 due to Titanium dioxide and iron oxide.
If she wants just a moisturizer I'd go with the Neutrogena one. My mom and I have both used it and loved it, can't exactly remember the name though. If she wants something with a tint I'd go with Coola's tinted sunscreen. I've been using it all summer and I love it. I just did a review of it on my blog if you want to see.
