Hi guys, I have been using really high quality physical sunscreens like Burnout, kabana, and Loving Naturals.

Burn out is like 18% zinc oxide while kabana and loving naturals are around 25%. And I apply enough which is the nickel amount since I am pretty serious about sun protection

I seem to be very prone to tanning even if I am sitting in the car. Can you guys please help. What sunscreen are good at preventing tanning for someone who tans really really easily. I can't believe these sunscreen are not preventing my tans even if im in the car for a 15 minute drive.

You haven't mentioned UVA protection from that cream. Does it have any?

Zinc oxide is known to protect against UVA and UVB. But after reading somewhere that chemical sunscreens have higher protection from tanning... I m wondering whether physical sunscreens aren't the best option for me. Has anyone tried a chemical sunscreen that prevents darkening for skin that's really prone to tanning?

Physical only sunscreens never really worked for me. I still got colour with them. Since switching to Asian sunscreens for the face I don't burn or tan anymore. I like euro sunscreens for the body. I think overall, chemical sunscreens are better protectors.

It probably isn't enough for your skin, especially since you said you tan easily. Try a chemical one instead and see how the results are.

You can use natural remedies for sunburn. Applying lemon+turmeric, curd+turmeric is good for removing tan.

You can double layer with a chemical ss that has Mexoryl or Tinosorb and then a physical zinc ss. This way you cover the UV spectrum while having longer protection.

I was thinking of that option as well. Can you please recommend any you have had success with?

Which ones do you think would layer well together? Iv heard some ingredients in a physical sunscreen may inactivate the ingredients in a chemical one. do you have any recommendations as a combo
