I am very fair and live in Florida. This Roth powder is the best. I highly recommend it.

What is the efficacy of powder sunscreen? Is it as effective as creams?

As someone who lives in a city with the highest rate of sun cancer in the world, I’ve tried lots of sunscreens, in all price brackets, over many years. I’m still looking for the perfect product – non-greasy, easy to apply, does not leave marks on my clothing/handbag, can cope with temperatures over 30C.

My tips:
1. Price is important-applying sunscreens properly throughout the day uses up a lot of mls.
2. Apply sunscreen straight after your morning shower-don’t forget to include arms, chest, ears and back of neck. Wait a few mins before applying any other skin products.
3. Keep your fav sunscreen product in the car and handbag-apply to backs of hands and face before driving into the sunshine.
4. Experiment with lots of products to find the one that suits your skin best (see price tip).

Current fav products: Nivea Sun Light Feel Daily Face Veil SPF30; Dr Hauschka Sunscreen Cream; Ego Sunsense 30+ Ultra Lotion SPF20

For those who are having issues with a greasy sunscreen, I advise putting it on before you put on any moisturizers.
I thought my sunscreen was SUPER GREASY because I always put it on after my usual moisturizer and eye cream, reasoning that that way, it’s the top most layer to protect my skin from the sun (it was a physical and chemical sunscreen)!

FALSE. I put it on first, and then applied my usual creams, and it was definitely MATTE. It was crazay but it works!

What is a good UVA/UVB MOISTURIZER that you recommend using? I have freckles and sunspots and am on the verge of bleaching and/or lasering them out! I try to wear moisturizers with high SPFs everyday to prevent darkening my skin or obtaining more spots. Do you have any suggestions?

I have just started using the Peter Thomas Roth mineral sunscreen and i’m so excited about it – not only is it a convenient and non-greasy sunscreen – it is an excellent powder – my makeup now stays put all day AND i have full coverage from the sun.

For K Crow who is concerned about the possible link to cancer – a quick google search brought up this article from the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (http://www.ccohs.ca/headlines/text186.html).

Long story short: titanium dioxide is classified as a **possible** carcinogen to humans. Studies seem to show that when high levels of the product are breathed in by rats cancer has occurred and similar results have be found in humans who work in dusty environments.

Translated into the everyday person’s life, titanium dioxide isn’t that big of a threat. Unless you’re applying the product like a mother in the 50s applying baby powder, you should be fine.

So I wouldn’t ostracize a product like this – just don’t breath it in when you put it on.

Patients are more compliant with cream zinc sunscreens if their skin is thoroughly resurfaced, free of dead skin and ideally moisturised. A good zinc sunscreen is also an ideal base for coloured powder. Retinoids and glycolic acid 8-20% work well.
