| Your opinion and/or experience wanted!! There is a wide range of cream/lotion sunscreens and everyone seems to be searching for the perfect one. Many of these require re-applications depending on the type of sun exposure day you're having. Is a pressed powder with an SPF rating just as good? This would certainly be easier to re-apply if one is going to be in-and-out all day or if you sit near a window at work. |

| personally, even if my powder comes with SPF, i will still apply an additional sunblock. I really don't want freckles on my face! |

I do the same exact thing to make sure I'm protected. |

| I would consider pressed powders with SPF as an additional sun-protection, but not the main one. It may be a good idea to apply such a powder over your everyday sunscreen for added protection, plus you can reapply the powder as often as you wish while you cannot reapply sunscreen without destroying your makeup. |

| I disagree. MMUs e.g. Jane Iredale are excellent sunscreens -about factor 20. I am fair skinned and only wear these and have NEVER burned my face when wearing them - even when exposed for long periods. |

| good to know about the Jane Iredale...I usually apply it over my sunblock, but will try it alone. |

I would never rely on MMU or any foundation for sun protection. You cant possibly apply enough that would fully protect your skin from all UV, if you did it would be like wearing a mask.
Here's just one article quoting Dr Baumann regarding this:

| I know it seems hard to credit. All I can tell is is my experience with it over the last 5 years. I am talking about not even getting a pink nose whist wearing it. I really don;t apply a mask eithet - just a thin layer or two. |

The thing is not burning is only indication of some UVB protection not UVA. UVA damage is cumulative and will eventually show up over time. |
