question about sunscreens

[Renai]

How do you deal with oily looking face after applying sunscreen?

I've been trying to figure that out too, it seems chemical sunscreens are generally less visible. Also idk if this is only for a white cast but you can get tinted sunscreens and powder to put in your sunscreen, but I think the risk is that it can make you look as though you wear makeup

This normally just means you need to find a new sunscreen for your skin.

Tbh its a trade off. While you don't run into that issue as much with chemical sunscreens, the problem is that chemical sunscreens get absorbed into the skin and that shit we don't know what it will do years down the road as their is a lot of chemicals in them.

But its still the most important thing in anti aging as 80% of premature skin aging is due to sun exposure. So I use organic mineral sunscreen, and try to do it everyday as soon as its about 10-11am in the morning.

Since the sunscreen is based on minutes exposed to sunlight and then multiplies it by your natural skin time to get a sunburn( lowest for pale whites,blacks its higher)) . While in theory you wouldn't have to re apply especially if your indoors, you should at least once.

If you work outside though best to cover up as much as possible , like a muslim foid tbh. Every 2 hours minimum even with protective clothing. I know the construction workers some of them have certain clothing over their heads and full sleeves in the middle of summer outside with very high humidity . Some of them still look their age so it seems it works.

Note that you need to drink a lot of milk or supplement with vitamin D once you wear a lot of sunscreen, as it will obviously not be easy to get it from the sun.

What Does “SPF” Mean? | Britannica

When you’re stuck deciding between SPF 15 and SPF 30, what makes the difference?

www.britannica.com

How does the SPF tell you how long you’re protected for? Well, let’s say you typically burn after being outside for 30 minutes and have an SPF 15 sunscreen you plan to use. You’d multiply 30 by the SPF, in this case 15. That means that you’re technically protected for 450 minutes, or 7.5 hours—do note that this is technically speaking. Most sunscreens will wear off long before then from exposure to the elements as well as improper application. It is recommended that you reapply every two hours. The number of UVB rays you’re protected from also increases with SPF, though marginally. SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays, SPF 30 blocks 97%, and SPF 100 blocks 99%.

To a degree sunscreen is waterproof/sweat proof. It would just have to be reapplied more.

Certain mineral sunscreens aren't as greasy and have hardly much grease, but the issue I ran into that was that they make your face look very obviously more whiter, and then one can tell you had sunscreen. You pretty much look dumb with your obviously whitened face. Now granted if you use a quality brand if you rub it well it won't' be that obvious but you still look more white.

The mineral sunscreen I use has that grease issue but that's more so if you really rub it in. Mineral sunscreen doesn't require you to rub it in deep since its point is to form a protective outer coating against the sun rays. Its more about coverage. As long as I don't rub it in my face and don't apply too much in one area its not that bad. And the oily look goes away anyways after about 15-20 minutes I noticed even if I apply a lot.

To me personally I'd rather deal with some moron thinking my face looks oily in the mornings then have premature aging. I have to extend my prime slaying years as much as possible as I'm a late bloomer.

Other factors also can make you have excess oil. Fast foods, oily foods, processed foods, drinking, and not showering after working out, would make your face look more oily, while taking probiotics, taking a shower quickly after the gym, no processed foods, good excercise routine will help reduce that issue.

You would need to experiment with brands and find what works best.

really seems like too much of a hassle, im going to stop putting sunscreen, just use moisturizer in morning and avoid direct sunlight. Still going to be using retin a twice a week, atleast i will have some experience to share.

Just use organic chemical sunscreen instead then. Won't get oily look.
