men have thicker skin though and their hormones don't diminish so early in life as in women.
I've met a lot of Australian men with horrid, horrid skin (apologies Australian men  ) so it's those ethnic/genetic differences in play again. European type skin in that kind of sun doesn't hold up well. |

You are so very true Sormuimui! My mom never really wear ss all her life and she doesn't have very bad deep wrinkles. She only got those expression lines and that's it. And yeah I always heard that girls aged faster than guys unfortunately 
Btw, do any of u apply ss around the eyes area? I'm afraid it'll cause blocked pores but if I don't apply it, it defeats the purpose of sun protection. |

I do. I use the SVR 50 around my eyes. It doesn't irritate them. |

| I do, but I have yet to buy a thick sunscreen. I'm still using my Clarins UV40 for the time being until I get my butt out to buy an Avene. I'll let you know once I try, I'm very prone to little bumps under my eyes. But I also use Vit C in the AM which probably helps as well since it complements ss in sun protection. |

| Sun protection is one of the single most important things you can do to prevent and even reverse photo-aging of the skin。UVC wavelengths are the shortest ultraviolet rays, extending from 100nm to 290nm, and are the most carcinogenic。Choosing an Effective Sunscreen Is necessary |

I checked out the website provided for the member who opened this thread, and found that all the sunscreens they sell contains Cyclomethicone- which is a form on silicone. This is meant to be a pore-clogging element.
I've tried a few japanese sunscreens which were very light weighted and provides a matt finish, but i ended up with clogged pores with all of them!! Then only to find that they all contain Cyclomethicone.
The website states those sunscreens are non-comdogenic and also suitable for oily skins...i was close to buying the Avene sunscreen but stopped when i saw its ingredients! Does any one who has really oily skin found that it clogs their pores or not??
im currently using ASAP spf 30+ sunscreen. It does not consists of any silicone what so ever so i never get clogged pores with using it. The bad thing though is that it's texture is quite thick, and also it doesnt have a PPD rating. |

Here r some guidelines when not using sunscreen:
avoid sun exposure from 10am - 2pm. that's when the uv rays are highest.
u can stay for 15 minutes (max)in the sun without the skin being compromised. ( I need to double check on this one though) |

Can anybody help me analyze why Avene's sunscreen only protect UVA and PPD, but not including UVB?
Thanks a lot! |

Hi there,
I posted on another thread that my friends website (that JUST openened about 5 minutes ago) would be selling European sunscreens. And that she would have good info. about sunscreens. She knows the most about that subject of anyone I know!
Anyway, there's still a couple glitchy things on the website and I can't see the graphs in this article, but I wanted to post it anyway--it's a great article.
http://www.skincarecentral.biz/sunscreens-about-.html
P.S. She also offers a 20% discount on her other (non-sunscreen) products.... 
P.S.S. I am not affiliated with this company in any way and receive no benefit from posting this information, except the joy of passing on good info. that is... |
This is a good article but I do disagree with the application of powder on top of the sunscreen. Sunscreen is always the LAST thing you put on your face. Now some of you are thinking, okay, what about makeup application. This is what to do. Just buy a liquid foundation with the spf in it already! How easy is that?! |

SusieQ, while it is true that mineral sunblocks are better applied last, because they sit on top of the skin, chemical sunscreens should be applied with very little underneath, because they must be absorbed into the skin in order to work.
Also, the amount and quality of sunscreen in a foundation is far too low to provide adequate protection. Not to mention that most people do not cover their face with foundation.
A sunscreen should be a separate product, not in a foundation or a moisturizer, in order to provide good protection. |

This is true, and I agree with that, but I was thinking along the line of a spf 15 tinted moisturizer. Ones that come to mind are always MAC, Bobbi Browns, and Revlons. You can very easily wear these all over and it won't look heavy looking at all. |

I always remember the difference this way:
UVA are what causes Aging
UVB are what causes Burning.
And you must have bothr proper protection. |

Tinted moisturizers are lovely! But spf 15 is not adequate protection. Also, spf only describes UVB protection. A sunscreen also needs a high ppd, which describes the UVA protection. Most U.S. sunscreens do not have a high ppd. You have to look for the ones that do or buy from overseas.
There is a lot of information about sunscreen and adequate protection to be found on the forums and notepads at makeupalley.com, if you are interested in checking out a little bit of research. Since sun damage is responsible for over 90% of skin aging and since skin cancer is becoming more and more prevalent among all skin tones, good sunscreen is important for vanity and health! |
