Hi all:) Back to sunscreen we go!
So I have used that Neutrogena Dry-Touch sunscreen with the cool Helioplex ingredient and I really liked it! It didn’t break me out and it has a pretty nice finish, even though it felt thick to put it on at first. Unfortunately, it balls up on me. So then I tried out the Hawaiian Tropics oil free SPF 30 sunscreen and it work pretty good, but it was 8 UVA and I thought I needed higher. I was getting a little obsessed…so I tried more different kinds the Banana Boat Sunwear SPF50 one with the UVA12 and it did not do well for my acne either….and so I tried others, such as ones from Drug Stores, Department Stores, and Europe.
I also tried Shiseido, which has a very nice fluid one, this sunscreen is the best for oily skin it actually made my skin matte for a few hours! And believe me my skin gets really oily in a half an hour after I am done with my makeup! However, this sunscreen did leave a slight white cast on my face, which is fine for those of you with porcelain or Scarlett
Johansson skin. Also it is $50! And yes, you should spend the $50 if it is right for your skin, sunscreen is the number one item to invest in! And it is hard to find a sunscreen that your skin tolerates and one that you will happily put on everyday!
So finally I went back to the Hawaiian Tropics. My skin tolerates this sunscreen, I don’t break out! And UVA 8 is good protection, way better than what I was using years ago which was like no UVA protection at all, only SPF protection! Plus it’s pretty light and does well on my oily skin!
So yes, oily, acne skinned gals can wear a sunscreen everyday!! And I wear it even when it is raining and when I am at home, because I have lots of windows and you never know when I have to run to the store or get the mail. But it is up to you if you want to wear it at home. Not everybody does.
Don’t forget you neck and chest area and hands! Hands, always put it on when you have to commute home and what not!
Remember you have to put on the full ¼ teaspoon to your face and ¼ teaspoon to your neck! If you don’t put on the full amount you will only get half of the UVB/UVA protection!!! So this is very important!
So please experiment a little to find the sunscreen for you! It has helped balance out my skin tone and my acne pigmentation marks are fading, due to sunscreen and some other skin care products!
Sunscreen is the most important thing you can do for your skin to prevent aging, especially premature aging! You should start everyday when you are a baby! So don’t forget to put it on your cute babies, Moms. But if you are all grown up, then it is never to late to start preventing future damage! Go buy that sunscreen right now, even if there is cats and dogs pouring outside or a foot of snow blocking your driveway!
(On my next post, I will post the ingredients and their percentages that you should look for to get the right kind of UVA protection for you!)
