Hello, I hope you can help me. I feel like no one knows what I'm talking about. I have tried 3 products now and all have strangely resulted in the same thing. I apply sunscreen on my clean, dry, product free face....and it doesn't stick to my skin. It starts to peel/ball away from my face. All I'm doing is applying it to my face - as one would when applying moisturizer, for example - and it's just coming off my face. I've never had this happen with moisturizer. My skin is not peeling, or irritated, flaky or dry. I have a slight t-zone, my cheeks are normal. This has happened with 3 products now - 2 Neutrogena products, Ultimate Sport in 45 SPF and Sensitive Skin in 60 SPF, and Vichy's Capital Soleil in 45 SPF. Please tell me what is causing this! I am fair skinned and need a high SPF product. Thank you so much.

Apply the product to your finger tips and press into your face gently. This way you are not rolling.It's also nice to have a bit of moisture on your skin first to help with the spreading of your sunscreen, so apply after your moisturizer or a moisturizing serum.<a href="/supergoop-unseen-sunscreen-spf-40-1.7-fl.-oz./12901956.html">Supergoop!'s Unseen Sunscreen</a> could be a nice lighter sunscreen for you to try.I hhope this helps, have a nice day!
