Hi
I'm little confused about using my sunscreen.
Do I have to apply it before or after my moisturizing cream?
Also if I want to use foundation,I apply my foundation after sunscreen.Because sunscreen always have a "strange color" when applied on face(like grey or white).
Is it still protecting skin if we aply cream or make after sunscreen?
When I use sunscreen I find my skin looking very ugly lol.so I have to use powder or fondation.
Is it same for others?
Thanks

What type of sunscreen are you using?

shaneze your lucky you are a woman who can use foundation..

IN my case, when I apply sunscreeen I end up looking White not as in white skinned but someone who has been silly enough to throw ludicrous amounts of talcum powder on his face.

Besides when I apply sunscreen my skin starts sweating automatically even if the weather is not too hot... and before I know it the sunscreen is apparent and girls giggle and people ask me what exactly have I put on my face and why would a guy wear makeup... lollllllllllll


Sunscreen is so much of a bane its not even funny anymore...

By the way my cousin sister uses makeup almost all the time she is out...
She applies sunscreen and applies makeup on top of it.. she says it keeps her skin from getting tanned

She is milkish white and green eyed... very pretty mussay( She is indian by race too) !

Heath541 I use a french brand BIODERMA spf 50+

Lmgorgougous,I understand what you mean... I have tried many sunscreen and the one I use now is also oily but less than others.
I agree with you.I really hope there will be sunscreen that when you apply it,it would be like "normal cream".Because I don't use sunscreen every time I go out cause of all this troubles,oily,"white-grey look... horrible lol
Why don't you put powder on top of it?
Do you know wich sunscreen your cousin's sister use?

My cousin sister uses a sunscreen by Elizabeth Arden...

I don't know which one it is by name.. but the tube used to be YELLOW in colour...

OK thanks

Coppertone is less oily than most others. I can't vouch for rather or not it leaves a residue.

Have you tried a spray-on sunscreen? While it doesn't work for those of us prone to burning at the merest hint of sun, I've heard they work OK for others.

Putting on make-up after sunscreen is fine. Many make-ups actually have an spf grading. I would suggest moisturizing before, however.

I use neutrogena ultra shee dry-touch sunblock spf 45 on my face and it doesn't give that whitish thing.it's lightweight and very comfortable to wear and I don't tan when I wear it.on my body I use ocean potions anti-aging sublock spf 50 and this sunblock is great.I don't tan at all when ever I go out.I got it at drugstore.com
Sunblock is very different from sunscreen.sunscreen doesn't protect you completely from both UVA and UVB rays but sunblock does so if you're lightening always use sunblock not sunscreen.

Best sunscreen in the world:

La roche posay anthelios 50+ XL.

This is the only one with Mexoryl SX.
