Sunscreen: Do you re-apply?

[beautyshopgirl]

I never reapply on my skin. I always reapply it on my kids every two hours. I'm much more careful with their skin than my own.

So your LRP has Mexoryl, avobenzone and titanium dioxide? Sounds like it has a very high PPD!

if I spend lot of time outside, I do reapply. I think about 3-4 hours after the first time.

If inside and wearing foundation, then i use the one with SPF in it. If not wearing foundation/mu then reapply, esp if i'm outside. Also trying to find a moisturizer with SPF would be good idea.

I wear sunscreen under my makeup, so I never reapply it on m face. In the summertime if I am outside all day, I do reapply it everywhere else on my body.

I keep Neutrogena sheer sunblock, spf 50 in my purse. It's light enough that I can re-apply over my makeup, then powder. I usually wear a basebal cap or a hat if I'm outside between 10AM and 3pm since the sun is most intense, then.

yup ! it was conceived as a UVA sunscreen in the first place, so it has to be good, lol.

i use lrp as well. love it!! they raised the ppd to 31! will filter out all but 3 percent of uva rays if you reapply. the just improved the formulation, and it has the reputation of being the best sunscreen in the world because of it combination of sunscreens and physical blockers.

If you don't mind me asking, which LRP sunscreen do you use? I need one that's suitable for sensitive, acne-prone skin. I've read that LRP sunscreens have a high alcohol content that can be very irritating for sensitive skin.

If i'm going to the beach or something I"ll bring sunscreen with me and reapply b/c my makeup will get ruined anyways.

If i'm just going to school or going out for the day (which I spend most of my time indoors unless I have classes on the opposite side of the campus) I dont reapply...just moisturizer with sunscreen and that's it!

if you sweat a lot, then yes, please re-apply for your own good. if you don't sweat much and isn't outside, then not really if you already have it. Just remember to put it on in the morning after moizturizer and before makeup!

it's Anthelios fluide extrême. it has a milky texture, and is non comedogenic. besides, the brand has been made by dermatologists, so it reduces the risks of having an allergy to those products.

if that helps, i have a combo skin, with cheeks pretty sensitive too, and no breakouts or allergies with this one. totally worth the price.

you can find it in spf 20,40 and 50.

I don't, i wear it under makeup too.

i used to use the fluide extreme for a long time. the 50+. it is really good. my only complaint is in comparison to the lait velloute formulation. the fluide extreme is a sort of "dry" matte finish, but it can flake off, and i think it has more alcohol in it than the lait velloute. the lait velloute has slightly better uva protection, but they are both good. the lait velloute is an improved formulation. at first i found it greasy and the fluide extreme not greasy. but now i find the lait velloute to absorb better and be less greasy actually. plus it is sweatproof and waterproof, so in the summer, it stays. whereas the fluide extreme is not sweatproof or waterproof. it is a great sunscreen though. reapplying is so easy. you really can just dab it on with it's liquidy texture and it doesn't interfere with whatever else is on your face. it absorbs quickly. it's nice. i don't understand why u.s. sunscreens aren't made like this! for me...i don't know...i guess with my skin type, the lait velloute covers everything - it is moisturizing enough so that i don't need a moisturizer too and i just really like it. so...you can get it at zitomer.com . that is where i get mine, as it is very reliable and professional. plus you get a ton of great free samples.

hey...i don't know how the swap thing works, but i have two unopened bottles of the fluide extreme still in the box that i ordered two months ago. i ordered it when i ordered the new lait velloute and personally for my skintype which isn't acne prone or oily, i like it better. so they are sitting here. i've been wondering what to do with them. if someone wants to try them, i'd be interested in swapping, or figuring something out. i was busy with school at the time and didn't bother returning them. they are expensive, but i would be willing to swap or do some paypal deal for cheaper. i bought them from zitomer.com . if anyone is interested, let me know. i don't know what to do with them...otherwise i'll use them eventually i suppose.
