1. I use either Nivea roller for kids factor 50 or one from Garnier for kids F50. The roll on is really handy for out and about.

2. Get face moisturiser with SPF. Made for your face.

3. You’re not meant to put it in your eyes

4. Cien

5. Soltan do a stick for kids it’s 50spf but it doesn’t seem to go into eyes

6. For your face this is brilliant:

   I’m pretty pale/fair skin and burn very easily and the one I use here is easy to apply, doesn’t leave streaks and as you’re looking for, doesn’t sting the eyes

7. Aldi Cein.

8. How are you getting it in your eyes? Lol

9. Get the Soltan for your face

10. I have yet to find one completely sting free. I feel your pain. Worse in v hot weather when foreheads get sweaty.

    The La Roche-Posay Anthelios mentioned already is closest. Trying an Irish made one this year that’s quite good too. Too short a memory to compare properly though.

11. I use Bondi Sands

12. Parasol 25 plus sport

13. Look for mineral sun creams. You have to rub it in really well to avoid looking like a mime, but it definitely worked for me

14. Why are you putting sun cream in your eyes?

15. Get a kids one.

16. Have you seen the Calypso sun cream they sell in Aldi or Home Bargains / B and M etc ? The oil. It’s FANTASTIC for not going into your eyes / stinging your eyes. I worked as a dermatology nurse for years and accidentally picked it up when all the dermatologist consultants insisted I try Aldis own suncream as they deemed it best. Lol I do use the Aldis own everywhere else on my body but use that Calypso on my face.

17. La Roche posay

18. Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration. 100% the best sun cream. Smells unreal and isn’t too greasy https://www.boots.ie/hawaiian-tropic-silk-hydration-protective-sun-lotion-spf-30-180ml-10137554

19. Expensive but go to the chemist and get Avène. It’s in the bright orange bottle and protects you against anything and will not ever sting.

20. Why are you putting it in your eyes?

21. Why are you putting it in your eyes?

22. Don’t mess with the Soltan

23. Hahahaha me too

24. I know it’s probably been said but…you’re not supposed to put it in your eyes.

25. Maybe stop putting it in your eyes?

26. Just wear sunglasses instead

27. P20

28. garnier ambre solaire super uv spf 50, similar to the la roche posay one mentioned but cheaper. the posay one actually really hurt my eyes and was super sticky. The garnier one dries nicely.

    also you can try the bondi sands spf 50, white and blue tube.

29. I spent a month in Thailand recently and used lidls cien kids spf50+. Great stuff.

30. Amber Solairs is a good one.

31. Partner worked in this industry in lab and said Ultrasun is the best. Ripoff in M&S , but
    small bottle will go a long way for the face stuff, cheaper online.

32. For your face you should get a little tube of something fancy and French. I’ve been on the same little tube for years.

33. Get on for that is maid just for your fave Garnier have good one

34. Don’t be putting body sunlotion on your face, youre not 12 anymore 🙂

35. Ya I would try avoid putting body-sunscreen on Face (will most likely cause breakouts and will be greasy). For very sensitive skin and eye area, buy a sunscreen design for the Face. I would definitely recommend a Mineral based sunscreen, and now there’s new hybrid mineral/chemical sunscreens on market. Chemical sunscreens can cause irritation and stinging on sensitive skins. Aim for Mineral SPF factor 30 or 50. Brands like Roche-Posay, Avene,REN, UtraSun,Kiehls,

    And EltaMD (tho hard to get in Ireland).

36. Always La Roche Posay

37. I use a daily moisturiser (CeraVe) which has SPF25. And then if I’ll be out in the sun I’ll wear a baseball cap and apply a stronger sunscreen on my face below the eyes. Forehead is protected and no heavy sunscreen to sweat down into the eyes.

    You should always have a hat in the sun
