do you always wear sunscreen?

Should you always use some kind of sunscreen? What about cloudy days?

Re: do you always wear sunscreen?

Where do I start of this one?? You MUST ALWAYS wear sunscreen, you are dumb not too. Cloudy days are a must as well, you can still get sun. You shouldn't wear sunscreen on your face with any higher SPF than 15 on a NORMAL day, it can burn your skin. I always mix sunscreen in my lotion, sunscreen that won't clogg pores, that way I have it on my body everyday! You must remember that when doing so it will take the SPF factor down a few notches. There are chemical and physical suncreens out there, so find one that works for you and wear, wear, wear.

Most foundations have a built in SPF 15 sunblock.

SPF 15 sunblocks are pretty light and nongreasy. You should definitely be using some protection throughout the day. Even on cloudy days. It will only help your skin in the long run. The sun is responsible for most wrinkles, age spots, blotchiness, etc.

like I said above, you should never wear anything higher than 15 on your face on a normal day. you can find sunscreen that is noncomodogenic (spelling) and it shouldn't break you out. most people find that they have a problem with sunscreen when you go into a higher spf because it will irritate your skin.

Re: do you always wear sunscreen?

I have heard that there are some ingredients in sunblocks that are actually bad for you and can cause cancer. And I dont mean PABA which everyoene knows to avoid. Does anyone know what the ingredients? I cant remember the names.

Find a good moisturizer that has sunscreen in it. That'll eliminate an extra step in your skin care routine. Helps keep it simple.

Re: do you always wear sunscreen?

Neutrogena has one, Cetaphil has a moisturizer with sunscreen. If you are sensitive to sunscreens, their are certain ones that will irritate you (I am myself).

Or you could get your sunprotection from your foundation you wear (most are SPF 6, 8 or 15). Prescriptives has a moisturizer with sunscreen and I know this one will not clog pores.

Good luck....and YES you should wear sunscreen....finding one that works for you is the not so fun part (if you are sensitive to sunscreen or acne prone).

I really like MK's TimeWise moisturizer w/SPF, DesiGal. They have tinted ones now as well, for women who enjoy a more sheer foundation look.
