I recently read an article that talks about why Asian sunscreens are SO MUCH BETTER than our sunscreens. It turns out, American sunscreens only protect from cancer-causing elements, which is great, but they actually don't protect us from wrinkles or dark spots.
I can hear your mouth dropping right now.
It turns out, Asian & European sunscreens also have a rating system that tells you how much UVB protection you get, here you only know how much UVA protection you get.
In the end, the article recommends one by Biore, and it's available on Amazon, so you don't have to travel to Japan to get it, although that sounds fun! |
Yes, Europe has Mexoryl SX AND XL to use along with the mighty Tinsorb S and Tinsorb M ( I am love with the latter which according to research is the best we have on the market today in terms of anti-aging):
"Research shows that Tinosorb M is the best anti-aging (i.e., UVA1-blocking) filter available, with high (~20%) zinc oxide being a close second. Using either filter (or even Uvinul A Plus or Mexoryl SX, if one so chooses) in one’s daily skincare regimen will go a long way prevent sun-associated skin aging."
A lot of my friends in the States order European sunscreens (such as Avene) from France. |
These sunscreen filters are available in Canada at the drugstore. L'Oreal has the patent for Mexoryl. These are branded as La Roche Posay & Ombrelle. Avene has sunscreen with Tinosorbs. I have purchased mine from Shoppers Drug Mart. |

| Hello, There are various types of sunscreen avaiable in the market that are suitable for dry skin texture. You can also watch videos or go through reviews to find one out suitable for your skin. However, it is better to consult a beauty therapist or spa specialist to avail spa treatments and facial massages to reduce tan and dark spots |

I disagree. You will find more knowledgeable people here. If you go to a spa or store with sales assistant; they have an objective to sell you product. A spa has a limited range of products.
A facial massage is relaxing but will NOT reduce a tan and or dark spots. |

| I changed my routine. I am really enjoying Elta MD right now as a standalone suncreen. I no longer use 2-one moisturizer +sunscreen in one product. |
