This stuff. Love it. It has a high spf, and I can put it on without breaking out. Even after peels. It's what they put on my at the dr after my peels. I loved it so I bought it.
that looks really nice! that will have to go on the list of sunscreens to try. i have so many to get through!
i'm weird - i love sunscreens but am too lazy to put it on most mornings.

i'm darker so i don't burn easily. it's bad but i am lazy bc as long as i'm not in the sun for over an hour i don't NEED it... and i just sit inside an office nowadays. but i think i need sunscreen to protect me from the UV from my monitors.
.... just kidding.
EDIT: hmmmm weird, I have 2 free lip techs in my cart, 1 in peony (the ldl) and 1 in maple. Is the smashbox bday gift a liptech? Or is this the ldl from last week stuck in my cart?

true, easier when it's built in, definitely. i actually don't moisturize in the morning tho, bc i only splash my face with water (i don't wash my face in the morning so as not to dry it out). i put on eye cream and sometimes i'll remember a sunscreen serum but usually i just go straight to TM/foundation/bb cream/etc. i also generally have about 10-15 min in the morning before work bc i get up late - bc i'm rushed i forget the extra steps.

I think that was kinda my same problem...I don't burn, and I spend most of my time indoors, so I didn't really feel like I needed it. But I'm so sick of having to deal with pigment problems, that I'm making myself use it now lol. Plus, my skin gets oily overnight, so I have to wash and moisturize in the morning anyways. Do you use powder at all? Maybe you could try something like Colorscience's Sunforgettable [makeupalley.com] (they have mini orbs for $10, I think, and it comes in translucent as well as various shades). Laura Mercier and Jane Iredale also have powders with SPF, and they have decent to pretty good reviews from what I've seen.
i have found that if i moisturize at night with a very heavy night cream/moisturizer, i wake up without an oily forehead. counterintuitive, but that's how my skin works... so that's what i've been doing. that's why i don't have to wash my face in the morning anymore.
i definitely have dehydrated skin, where it's dry on my cheeks and can get oily in t-zone given certain conditions. i used to use a very simple night cream (this boots [drugstore.com] one - looks like it's not even a night cream but just a cream) and it was very effective. since i've run out, i switched to a moisture mask [beautypedia.com] that paula said should be used overnight. i absolutely love it as a night cream. i think it's the jojoba oil in it that i love (and the fact that it has no dimethicone) [thanks to aya for getting it for me! i love it]
i've read that powders with SPF are generally not enough, unless you load up the powder. i don't like the cakey look, so i avoid powders with SPF. i know, on those days i don't wear any other SPF, the powder can help, but i don't want to trick myself into thinking i have SPF coverage when it's not really enough. i'll just hide from the sun instead on those days
