I need suggestions!

I have super sensitive and pale skin. I burn super easily on my face and make sure to always have sunscreen on. My problem is Shabbos. The spray makes me look shiny and greasy but regardless of that the alcohol in it isn't good for my skin.

I read in the grey book that a runny sunscreen is ok to apply. Does anyone have any suggestions for a liquidy sunscreen? My go to one (EltaMD) is for sure too thick.

Thanks!

Most sunscreen creams are annoyingly thick.
Try looking for powder sunscreen. In the summer I often use a spray and then a powder on top for shabbs because then I don’t look too shiny.

Look into foam. See if that’s halachically acceptible

La Roche Posay Anthelios is very runny. Would a spray work? Kate Somerville has a spray sunscreen.

Thanks! I've read online that powder doesn't give enough coverage to protect but maybe with a spray that could work. What spray do you use?

I hve a few but my favorite is the neutrogena one. It’s very light and great for sensitive skin.

We use this - it's liquid.
