You can get less-greasy sun cream

[drdoug]

I have very easily burned skin, so I'm a big user of factor 50. Also on the kids. My discovery this season is that you can get less-greasy sun cream! It's sold as 'non-greasy' or something like that. It's based on alcohol (look for 'alcohol denat.' as the top ingredient), so it smells of rough booze when you put it on. But it's way less bother than rubbing all the white bits of factor 50 in, and leaves your face a lot less pasty and like a badly turned-out goth. The stuff I've got isn't cheap (it was an emergency purchase) but worth it, and I suspect cheaper versions are available if I shop around.
