I've read that chemical sunscreens need a wait time while physical sunscreens do not. So do you have to wait after applying ur skincare or you have to wait before applying your makeup? I wait about 30mins before I apply makeup. But I apply suncreen directly after my skincare. Is that right? |

Mineral sunscreens are physical sunscreens. No, they don't require wait time. |

chemical sunscreens have to be absorbed before they have any effect, which is why you have to wait. Physical sunscreen is basically a film or shield that sits on top of your face to protect it, which is why you don't need to wait |

How do you protect your face from sun while driving in a car. Your left side is closest to the window. |

Yup, I got my first "age spot" on my left temple.
I am going to be very particular about applying enough sunscreen ALL over my face everyday. (Maybe do a second layer.)
The other suggestion from another forum is large sunglasses that wrap around the sides of your face. I wear sunglasses all the time, but mine do not wrap around the sides. |

You can always tint your windows or get some sort of shield you can find at your local car part store. The shield is basically a tinted piece of fibre glass that sticks onto the window using suction cups. However, with this method, you can really only block UVB rays, not UVA.. so if your concern is that you'll be tanned on one side, then you can avoid it.. but if it's the UV damage you're concerned with, then your only option is to layer different sunscreens on top because no matter what you use to block your face, UVA's can still penetrate through it |
