Recommend me

Where my girls at? I need a recommendation.

Right now, I'm using two GREAT moisturizers... if only I could mix them and make the perfect moisturizer. My morning moisturizer has SPF 15, my evening moisturizer has oil and shine control. Naturally, I need all day oil and shine control, and considering the age I'll be this year, I need a higher SPF. My grandma had skin cancer, and I practiced for it as a child, so I need all the protection I can get from here on out.

So, from all that, I need a moisturizer. Does anyone know of a daily moisturizer that has a 30 SPF, oil and shine control, salicylic acid, and NO OIL? Help a greasy-faced, UV conscious, breakout-prone sister out.

i have a sneaking feeling i know what you're using at night, because i had the same problem. l'occitane lavender, right? the best ever, if only it had an spf.
i use cetaphil spf 15 during the day, but i also reccommend clinique sun block faces spf 30 if you know it's going to be particularly sunny. nothing to battle the shine though, but i find cetaphil has less shine than most.

Actually, I use Clean and Clear morning and night. Clean and Clear Morning Glow has an SPF of 15, and moderate oil control, but no shine control. I use the Clean and Clear with the purple cap at night, but should probably use it in the morning too because it's got hard core oil and shine control - but no SPF.

Last time I was at L'Occitane, they gave me a lavender face cream sample and I really liked it, but would have had to use a separate sunblock. Argh.

i forgot to mention a miss jean hint: if you're lucky, you can find a nice pharmacist to whip out his mortar and pestle and truly mix your moisturizers. evidently she did that with some creams back when we were in high school and she does it for something A. has to use
