Recommend your SPF
My mom has a history of skin cancer. I have her skin and therefore need to be cautious. I am not a regular sunblock user and I know I should be. I'm really bad at making it part of my daily routine. I want to find one that doesn't bring back child hood memories of the beach i.e the typical sunblock smell.
Anyone use one that they would like to recommend? I would like to stick to the $30 and under price range. It also needs to be a high SPF, like at least a 60.
TIA

Re: Recommend your SPF
I also dislike the typical sunblock smell, have very pale skin, and have been a mission to find the perfect sunscreen. I've tried almost everything they have at Sephora, plus regular drug store brands. This is my best find so far:

Ole Henrickson, SPF 50+, $35 for 1.7 oz
I know it's a little outside your budget, but it's good price for a higher end product. It isn't thick at all, so a little goes a long way. It smells really good, like citrus. I love it!
Are you using this on your face or body? I'm looking for a good SPF to put on my arms, chest, and neck that isn't greasy.
OP- I just started using this on my face under my face lotion

Someone recommended it on here and I'm really happy with it.
I'll use it on my arms or chest occasionally, but not when I need to cover most of my body (in a swimsuit). For that, I just use a Target brand spray, which is much cheaper and easier. The only reason I don't use the Ole exclusively is because of it's price, and my body skin can tolerate a cheaper brand. It is a really nice, comfortable product though, so if you don't mind the price then it would be a great option.
I use and love the Neutrogena Ulta Sheer Dry-Touch sunscreen. Once you rub it in, it feels almost like you have nothing on. Not sticky or greasy at all! I get it at Target, but they sell it most places with sunscreen.
