I think that most of us are now pretty clued up well-nigh the fact that sunscreen needs to be a mandatory part of our eyeful routines. We’ve long known well-nigh the risk of skin cancer but sun exposure is moreover the leading rationalization of skin ageing. So if there’s one singular thing we can do to alimony skin looking youthful then it’s – drumroll – wearing SPF.
It’s rhadamanthine less of a hardship to incorporate sunscreen into a morning routine; there are so many sophisticated formulas with trappy textures and not all of them forfeit the earth. Yet there are a few persistent problems with SPF that put people off time and time again. I thought I’d write them one by one and requite a few sunscreen recommendations and usage tips. Hopefully, if you find sunscreens problematic, this will bring you some relief.
SPF Problem: Sunscreen Stinging My Eyes
Sunscreen stinging your vision is a worldwide problem and one experienced nearly every day in my household considering my husband insists on applying his SPF by putting it in the palms of his hands, slapping them together like a wrestler going in for the skiver and then enthusiastically – some might say violently – rubbing the lotion all over his face, including over his sealed eyelids. He then goes outside to do an energetic domestic/light industrial task, such as chainsawing lanugo a sufferer tree or drilling a slum in the side of the house, and inevitably sweats. Then come the stormy tears of sunscreen-sting.
How can you stave sunscreen stinging your eyes? Firstly, find a formula that has been specifically formulated to stave the sting. Mineral sunscreens are a unconfined bet here considering they don’t contain the chemical filters that tend to be the culprit for eye-stinging and moreover from my wits have a increasingly matte finish that’s less likely to melt and move on the skin.
Try Ultra Violette’s Lean Screen SPF50 (at Space NK here*) is a gorgeous upper protection sunscreen with a matte finish – veritably no eye problems with this one! For a cheaper mineral SPF take a squint at Hawaiian Tropic’s SPF30 Skin Milk mineral sunscreen – it’s really lightweight and financing well-nigh a tenner for a whopping 150ml. You can find it online here*, it’s a unconfined value option.
If you prefer a sunscreen with chemical filters then I’ve tried a lot and can say that Anthelios Ultra with Sensitive Vision Innovation (online here*) categorically does not sting mine. Maybe its the same “Sensitive Vision Innovation”, which locks the oils in the formula into micro-crystals to stop them migrating eyewards. Unconfined as a daily SPF, it’s very moisturising and made for sensitive skin.

You can moreover try a stick sunscreen (I really like the one from Sun Bum here*) so that you can wield in a increasingly targeted manner, but I find that one of the most helpful tricks is to very lightly powder on top of your sunscreen virtually the eye zone with your normal translucent setting powder. (Max Factor’s Creme Puff* is one of the oldest and still one of the weightier – it’s moreover really cheap!)
Just that light dusting of powder can sometimes be unbearable to stop an oilier sunscreen formula from creeping into the vision and making them finger as though they’ve been mercilessly set on fire then repeatedly doused with vinegar.
