But to tell the truth, I hate using sunscreen as the base for my makeup. Almost all sunscreens that I have ever used had this greasy formula which doesn't absorb into skin well. It also becomes difficult to blend my mineral foundation above it.
While I'm yet to find my perfect sunscreen, I've decided to try moisturizer with SPF in it. Anyone will tell you that SPF in moisturizer and your foundation won't give you enough protection from the sun, but still it is better than nothing.
Unlike real sunscreens, due to its lightweight formula Daily Protection Face Moisturiser SPF 15 definitely absorbs very quickly into the skin, hydrating it well and making it soft and smooth. My skin doesn't feel greasy at all! It also has light (lavender?) scent which disappears after few seconds after applying. The only con I have is that when using it without makeup my T-zone starts shining after 3-4 hours. But maker didn't promise any mattifying effect + the shine can be easily removed with oil blotting paper (I'm using e.l.f. Shine Eraser), so it doesn't bother me much. Also when using it under makeup, I can live without shining like a disco ball for much, much longer. Additionally, it is quite affordable, you get 100 ml of product for 16.25 euro at Lookfantastic.com.
If you're looking for good light moisturizer with SPF - I would totally recommend this. It can be good cruelty free replacement for Avene Hydrance Optimale UV Light SPF20.
Have you ever tried Natio products? What do you think about it?
