Recently I tanned with only 10 mins of sun exposure with sunscreen but no hat my bathroom is filled with sunblocks every kind lower to high end but have not been able to find one that will prevent tanning entirely.dont know why but I seem to tan very quick on carowhite and GG even when used only at night
Does anyone know a sunscreen that will almost completely block sun? I'm just bummed right now
Eeem...the same exact thing happened to me. I went outside for a few days and bam! I have remarkable tanning. Especially my hands and my face. I just started the exfoliation process over again.
I honesty don't think that product exist. Lightening in the summer is a win lose type of situation. All you can really do is try your best to be cautious and pay attention to the times of day you're leaving out.
I wish there was. I also need a good sunscreen that has no white cast. The sun screens show up very clearly on dark skin. I was also told that it should have zinc in it which might make it even whiter.
I have medium brown skin (NC40 in MAC colors). Devita used to go totally clear on me. I stopped using it b/c they changed formula but it looks like they're not back to the old formula.
Another option is to get tinted sunscreen. I use Juice Beauty CC Cream on weekdays when going to work. It has 20% Zinc and comes in 5 different shades.
It's not the SPF that matters is the % of zinc the sunscreen contains. We have a ton of information in the Sun Protection forum on how to choose the right sunscreen. On the very first post of the thread below gives several sunscreens, all which contain a good amount of zinc.
Sometimes i buy tinted sunscreen so it doesn't look weird when I wear a lot of it. I've found that I just need to wear more of it and keep reapplying whenever i can instead of getting really high SPF. I use badger sunscreen and it works well, but it's really pasty white. They have a tinted version now but I think it'll probably be too light for me still. If you're outside and don't have a lot of time to reapply, i recommend getting one of those brush-on powder sunscreens to reapply quickly (but i wouldn't use that alone), which are usually translucent or come in different shades. You can also get uv protective clothes, though I'm not sure how well those work and they won't cover your face. To increase spf, i have bought zinc oxide powder and mixed it with regular sunscreen, though it makes it even more white. I think i might buy loose bronzing powder to mix in it or brush on top so that it doesn't look so bad.
The higher the SPF # the less difference it makes in the sun protection. For example, you get a bigger increase in protection moving from SPF 15 to SPF 30 than you would if you moved from SPF 50 to SPF 65.
