      I'm looking for a recommendation for a daily facial moisturizer with sunscreen, that goes on under makeup.  Liquid foundation doesn't seem to go on smoothy with traditional sun screen underneath.  I've been using a product that works well, but it's one of those deals where you have to buy it along with additional products which are automatically shipped to you every couple of months.  So I'm in the market for new moisturizer, and thought somebody here might have a good recommendation.  I'm glad to be asking advice on such a minor issue for a change.  Thanks

          Hi,

          I use Aveeno moisturizer that has SPF 30 in it. It's the one in their Absolutely Ageless line. wink It's super light and not greasy at all. Highly recommend.

              I use Aveeno most of the time, but switch to a mineral  one called Anthelios by la Roche-Posay when it gets hot or I am exercising. It doesn’t sting my face or make my eyes burn and water when I perspire as other sunscreens do. It’s a little spendy (30$ vs 10$ for aveeno) but lasts pretty well. I get it from Amazon. I don’t use foundation so not sure about that. The Anthelios is slightly tinted but doesn’t show on my very light complexion . 

              Also adding a shout out to protect backs of your hands which get a lot of exposure driving etc and sunscreen gets washed off. (Wish I could tell this to my younger self seems like I have sk’s treated every appt on the backs of my hands.)

                I have been using Bobbi Brown- BB Cream – its a tinted moisturizer with SPF 35. Very moist and then I can skip the foundation layer! good coverage.

                Good luck – bethL

                  I use Jane Iredale products; all natural; she has powder sun screen, tinted moisturizer and many other products SPF rated.

                    So my dermatologist recommended a daily moisturizer with SPF 50.  Neutrogena dailywear healthy skin SPF 50 goes well under foundation.  Has no fragrance.  The other one I like is Oil of Olay SPF 50 – have only found that on Amazon though.  Has a light fragrance but is also good under foundation.
