Preferably with physical blockers (zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide). However, I don’t mind the chemical blockers too much (as in Avobenzone). I just definitely don’t want it to be loaded with parabens. I also prefer not to go broke (we need more than one tube for our family) Thanks in advance! Please share your favorite, not too-expensive sunscreen choices.

Check your local pharmacy. I picked up sunscreen with zinc oxide for $5. They also had cheaper store brand with only UVA protection (not UVB) for $2.50.

I need a tinted moisturizer for summer with SPF. But… It has to be natural Sunscreen, not the chemical kind. Like I can use titanium oxide and zinc oxide. Price under $30? Any Suggestions? Thanks.

I have dry skin, and currently use Eucerin, which doesn’t have sun protection. I want to use Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Cream as my daily moisturiser, is it ok to use this daily? It’s got sesame oil and aloe extracts for moisturisation so it should work well as a moisturiser too.

The reason I want to use this is because it doesn’t contain oxybenzone (aka benzophenone-3), which has been linked to skin cancer (not something I want in a sunscreen! – see link below), and also doesn’t contain zinc oxide, which leaves a film on my face.

So yeah, ok to use this daily?

I also have extremely dry and sensitive skin. I use Aveeno and Neutrogena Sheer Sunblock (100 SPF), respectively. So far, my skin feels hydrated and not at all irritated. Good luck.

I’m wondering if a person still gets a tan through his/her sunscreen. And are different sunscreens different about this? For example, would one tan through an SPF 30 but not through an SPF 70? Does one tan through zinc oxide (the stuff lifeguards use on their noses)?

YES, you tan through sunscreen. I always wear sunscreen and end up black by the end of the summer. The only thing that sunscreen hinders are harmful UV rays damaging your skin. You’ll most certainly still tan, even if you put it on before you go the tanning bed (which you should always).

I need a sunscreen for this summer that does not have ANY weird chemicals…

No parabens, no phenoxyethanol, no titanium/iron/zinc oxides, no silica…

Thanks!

They are not just weird – research and you will see many ingredients, particularly those in high SPF screens, are seriously skin harming – they can cause rashes, acne and worse!. Some have been pulled from market because of cancer causing scares

I have great news for you. I learned this trick by chance.
First massage any oil throughly into skin, particularly the face. Olive, almond and grape seed are excellent. Lightly remove excess by splashing with water and lightly dabbing dry with an old towel.

Apply sunscreen on top. The oil acts as a barrier to all the harmful sunscreen ingredients, but sunscreen is just as, if not more, effective. I do this and I am frequently in intense sun for many hours and find I a am totally protected and never burn even with just ONE application of the cheapest low SPF 15 screen. Save your skin and your money!
