PIZ BUIN Mountain Sun Cream and Lipstick

Yes this is slightly expensive suncream, but it's definitely cheaper than not having it and buying it in resort. I was recommended to buy a lip balm and suncream duo for my trip skiing after finding that I would get slightly burnt as my sunscreen would wear off during the day. I have seen these before and always thought that they might be a select gimmick and not as effective as I hope. However this product is perfect for those long days skiing. I found the small size of this product really makes it easy just to sit in your pocket or I have seen people (not myself) punch a hole at the end and put a piece of string around it to tie into their pockets that it's always available. I find myself reapplying the lip balm regularly especially when sitting down on a lift and also being able to quickly apply the suncream in a hurry before heading down the slopes. My only criticism of this product is extremely minor and something that I don't have a solution for. It is that if you were using the suncream section, you have to totally unscrew the lip balm and put it somewhere whilst you were applying the suncream but if you're trying to do this on a lift or whilst still in your skis, it can be a little bit fiddly. this is extreme minor and definitely would not put me off buying this product. I absolutely love it and will continue to buy this product for each ski trip that I go on.

Great quality and delivered faster than any other online shop. Smooth and easy to apply

Exactly what I wanted. Bit pricey but good! We take one of these each in our ski jacket

The best combined pocket friendly solution on the Mountain

Love this for the slopes and have purchased more than once

Excellent product!

Pros: Very moisturising, seems to last all day. The cream has lovely thick consistency (which a little goes a long way) and the lip balm is great and doesn’t irritate my lips at all. I work outdoors all day in British sun so this is a must and I wear it under my makeup. I also have found that it stops cold sores being triggered by the sunshine, iv not had any since using this which is simply fantastic. Cons: After continued use I have seen increased acne type spots on my face, the deep cystic type spots and I don’t know if it’s related to this product or not. Also, like all sunscreen you need to avoid getting this in your eyes as it does sting. I recommend using a finishing powder to stop it sliding around. Despite this I have continued to use this product as it is superior to any other I have tried and the pros outweigh the cons for me. I have not noticed any sun burn or damage getting through this and my skin feels protected.

As a now 50 year old guy I use sunscreen daily, spf 30 when I’m just pottering about and spf 50 when I go out hiking and cycling. I normally don’t like many European sunscreens as they’re thick, gloopy and greasy, get clogged in my beard and just make my face look like an oil slick, especially spf 50. I’ve used Korean and Japanese sunscreens for around two years now as they’re really nice and easy to use and feel like nothing on the skin. Love them. However, not many are sweatproof and I sweat when I’m out doing sports so read the reviews on this and thought I’ll give it a try. I only got the 20ml with the lip balm attached ( how convenient is that 👏🏻) anyhow it’s arrived today so I thought I’d try it and rest for heavy, greasy clogging and to my surprise, here’s absolutely none. I’m shooketh 😂 this spreads really easy even though it’s a little thick but it’s so easy to spread and sinks in after a few seconds. Felt a little tacky but only for about 2 minutes then it was gone, face feels great and it sticky, there’s a slight scent to it which I didn’t realise as I normally don’t do scented but it’s not offensive and not that strong at all and actually smells quite nice. Just the burn test now of course and I should get a good idea of how it performs as it’s really hot and sunny today in the UK. I’ll report back and alter my review if any of that changes but so far. This is one of the best spf50s that’s not Korean I’ve used in terms of how it feels. If it performs as good then I will even purchase a full size one. Well done guys, you hit the nail with this one in terms of texture and usability 👏🏻👏🏻
