Have you tried the Dermalogica solar defence booster? It's an SPF30 and you just mix it into your moisturiser or foundation. I haven't tried it but one of my friends keeps raving about it.
Also, you could look into Shiseido Anessa (very light lotion) or Lancome UV Expert. They are both quite light and don't leave a whitish cast on your face. The Lancome one also comes with different tints to counteract problems such as redness, dullness etc. The Anessa comes in a SPF50+ and the texture is almost like water. There's also Kanebo Sun Proguard (SPF50+) which is very similar in texture to the Anessa but a bit heavier IMO. The Anessa is my favourite. Can't help you with the body sunblock, I just use a normal SPF30 from the supermarket (I think it's called Tripple Guard).
HTH! |

| Mabsy's suggestion of the Dermalogica Solar Booster is great, as this product can be mixed with your favorite moisturizer. Some other good ones to consider: Peter Thomas Roth's Ultra-Lite Oil Free Sunblock SPF 30, or Skinceuticals Daily UV Defense SPF 30. |

| BUT do they ALL prevent from tanning? i need something that will work for many hours. because i have to go to school at 8am, then i need sun protection at past 3pm because that's when i start going home. unfortunately i dont have time to put on sunblock during school, that is why i need to rely on a sunblock that will still have protection against tanning of the skin even though i applied it several hours ago... can anyone help me? i have tried REJUVI sunblock before, but it was only SPF20, so i stopped using it. |

| Hmmm.... I'm not quite sure what you mean by "BUT do they ALL prevent from tanning?". *ALL* sunblocks prevent from tanning for a certain period of time. But they are meant to be reapplied, no sunblock lasts ALL day (particularily if you swim or do sports and thus sweat); at least not that I know of. If you don't have time during the day to reapply sunscreen and you are really worried about tanning then I would suggest you bring an umbrella with you to protect yourself from the sun on the way home. |

| I've been using the Aveda block and I find it works wonders. The sun is very strong in New Zealand with the ozone hole and all. I really like it, but it has to be re-applied as it will not last all day. |

| I play tennis and wear this without getting color. I do wear a hat for increased protection though. I am very happy with SkinCeuticals SPF products because they have never made my sensitive skin irritated or break out. |

Roc and La roche posay make really good sunscreens for both body and face. However for face, I much prefer Japanese formulations coz they tend to be really thin in texture and stay matt all day. Also their SPF can go right up to almost 100!! My favourite brands are Sunkiller and Shiseido Annessa as well as Pola suncut.
hth!
