Purple Prairie, I use it every time I go to Hawaii, works like a champ, even worked extremely well in the DR and their sun/weather much more extreme then Hawaii.
THE Best Sunscreen/Sunblock Debate
I have come across 2 of the strongest sunscreens avaliable. . I would like to know which one of these is better? and if there is a better one that can prevent darkening of the skin. Ussually these are rated in PPD (Pigment Darkening UVA blocker) than SPF.
1. ANTHELIOS XL SPF 60 MEXORYL
2. SHISEDO SPF 55 PA+++
what do you guys think? also anthelios is a chemical sunscreen and Shisedo is physical. . or does it not matter?
Thanks

Master sunscreen thread? Post what has worked for you in preventing a tan
I think this would help a lot of people because of weather and when I tend to lose the most progress
Everybody can post what has worked for them and prevented tanning.Also if you can post your sun conditions and sunscreens that work well for water sports /activities.
here is my list
Shiseido Babies n children SPF 50+ the most effective ever, but has an intense white cast. brightens your skin.Good if you are NC 20 or lighter
Avene very high protection from europe .. great layered with zinc at the beach , waterproof some white cast
La Roche posey XL anthelios with meroxyl SPF 50+ from Europe not the US one It is amazing. Prevented tanning while I was under the sun on a horse for 45 mins straight no hat very little white cast
Neutrogena for face SPF 70 or so : useless in preventing a tan. US sunscreens don't seem to cut it
I have not tried burnout yet.

Burnout is my go to too as well as the shesido water proof one was amazing!!! Shesido will actually stop a tan burnout will too but only if you spend less than 15 mins in sunlight and stay in the shade!

Yes shiseido is the bomb. Everyone who tries it has never tanned
I started the thread as i am SICK and TIRED of reading review after review of sunscreens (i've read over 3K of them ) and ALL everyone talks about is burn prevention and Never about the tan prevention ability
Personally I like the shesido baby and the neutragena shear shield to protect from tanning

It looks like Burn Out is still rated highly here? How about Beauty Without Cruelty Vitamin C with Coq10 SPF 17 Facial Lotion https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009ET4V8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AVM1Z79WGIB6T&psc=1 I currently use Alba Botanica Hawaiian Sunscreen, Green Tea SPF 45 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alba-Botanica-Hawaiian-Sunscreen-Green/dp/B00CQ7V1JO but considering buying Burn Out or BWC and will appreciate your thoughts.Purple Prairie, I use it every time I go to Hawaii, works like a champ, even worked extremely well in the DR and their sun/weather much more extreme then Hawaii.
Awwh hey there :wavey: @Fortunecookie long time no see!! BWC isn't one that will protect you, nothing in it as far as protection goes. As far as Alba Botanic, if you were going to choose any Alba SS, go for the Mineral one (green label) it contains zinc. Its a bit heavy, but is a much better choice then the yellow label which you have linked here.It looks like Burn Out is still rated highly here?

I'm looking for SS to my face. I've got the yellow Alba one, is ok to use only face in the meantime?
I have been using BURN OUT for many years. Want to ask you gymrat about some other one what is working well....I do not have winter ,always summer,so I use sunscreen all the time...Some new discovery?
Yellow won't protect you @Fortunecookie, what other choices do you have?Hi Gymee and thanks for your prompt response😍

Hello @Iren70 well, I still use Burnout myself, I use a couple other ones but Burnout is still one of my favorites. Hope all is well :heart:I have been using BURN OUT for many years.

The sucky thing about finding a great physical mineral sunscreen is that when I read or hear someone hyping up about it, I get super excited only to find out it's a measly tiny bottle or package. In which I can use it on my face, neck and maybe exposed chest areas.. but I also need a much bigger bottle for the rest of my body. So I don't know what to do. Is there any really good sunblock out there that has:
1. No (or very minimal) white cast
2. Superior protection against burning AND tanning (that last part is super important!)
3. Is mineral based (no chemicals)
4. Lasts relatively longish
5. Comes in an economical size from my head to my toes

Hi Gymrat, I know you've always suggested Burnout. In the reviews it appears there's been a formula change perhaps it's the Eco one that's new or the regular one that's had it's formula changed not sure but recent reviews say it's changed. Have you tried the new one and still happy with it? I'm about to purchase on Amazon. Thanks as always for your help. https://www.amazon.com/BurnOut-SPF-...=1542108512&sr=8-3&keywords=BurnOut+sunscreen Thoughts on this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Altruist-Dermatologist-Sunscreen-SPF-protection/dp/B013NUI4LABurnout.........
Hi @gymrat , thank you for replying. There's actually a couple of Burnout sunscreens at my local Whole Foods store, so I think I'll give it a shot. I'll respond later on today to see which ones they have, specifically, before I'll ask you and anyone else which one is best for my current situation. If you don't mind, of course!Burnout.........
Regarding Burnout; it has Sorbitan Stearate and Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil that can cause issues for skin with fungal acne.
Also Avocado Oil is comedogenic for some skin. I don't have acne so not an issue for me, but the avo oil?

The versions I use don't contain either ingredients you mention. I use Face/Body version and Eco version. I've also used the Kids version, but still my favorite is Face/Body and nothing has changed in it, I have a new tube I recently purchased, all is the same. @FortunecookieRegarding Burnout; it has Sorbitan Stearate and Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil that can cause issues for skin with fungal acne.
