    I have simillar problems with my skin and I usually use La Roche Posay. I'm thinking of trying one of their tinted ones thats just out. I don't like to use a lot of make up when I can avoid it and I'd normally use Olay total effects for fair skin for a little colour in winter but the spf in it is very low. It isn't very expensive and its recommended by dermatologists.

    I bought the tinted liquid recently and am loving it. Haven't tried it in strong sunlight yet but it hasn't caused any breakouts or irritation and I find the tinting to be at a nice level.

    I would highly recommend Elave SPF 45. I bought it online but some pharmacies may stock it. Way better that LRP in my opinion. Plus its Irish

    Tony Quinn do a great lotion. The bottle doesn't look huge but it does last for a while. I get quite nasty heat rash (haha I end up looking like super-ted) my hands normally get it very bad and I found this great for keeping it at bay. I might break out the first day in the sun but then it calms down

    Sultan Once (by Boots) is great - I use their kids suncream for extra protection! I don't have sensitive skin but my sister uses it on her son (who is 2 years old and has incredibley sensitive skin - reacts to nearly everything) and on herself (again, very sensitive skin) with no problems.

    Just a heads. Up. Sunscreen may be doing more damage to both the person and the environment. Some of the ingredients in common sunscreen are known to accelerate skin cancers and disrupt hormones.

    Mineral sunscreen is best for sensitive skin because it creates a physical barrier on the skin without penetrating into it, unlike chemical sunscreens, but do a patch before applying on whole face in order to check for allergies. To know more, you can visit allergic to mineral sunscreen
