Face wash every morning and night. Always pat dry, never rub.

Lotion every night.

Sunscreen if I go out.

I wear a visor when I go out, and drink a lot of water. I try to avoid foods/drinks that irritate it too.

Good luck, hope this helps!

When I lived in SoCal I used to use the Neutrogena Dry Touch sunscreen on my face and body. I hate the greasy feeling a lot of sunscreens give, and this one was one of the few that I could actually use underneath my makeup. I live in the PNW now so it's not as much of an issue, but my current face makeup is SPF45 too.

I also found it on Amazon for relatively the same price, if you don't have a Costco membership! Looks like the regular price is only $14.99 if it's not on sale by the time you get to it.

>But why would labeling it a "sunscreen" vs. a "moisturizer" make you apply more?

I suppose the factor here would be the quantity of actual sunscreen ingredients in the total amount of product you use. While a sunscreen alone would have more -let's say zinc (don't quote me on ingredients I'm not that knowledgeable)- the combo mix with moisturizer would have less SPF ingredient because it would have the moisturizing ingredients within it as well. Therefore the need to apply more of it in order to fulfill the amount of product your skin actually needs to be protected. Also you should be re-applying after a few hours which bring even more questions!


What if I have makeup on? Wouldn't it smudge it around? Should I be cleaning my face and reapplying layer after layer (adding makeup) again?

That's why I'm trying to look for a decent sunscreen that applied under or on top of my moisturizer works well and also lets me apply makeup... Sigh... This whole thing is getting overwhelming.

If I'm wrong on this one someone correct me please! I'm eager to understand how this thing works!

Also, in your case, I've heard the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer dry touch SPF 30 or so would leave a matte finish. I suppose people here use it more for the body and they love those EltaMD and La Roche Posay ones but I haven't tried those to give you an opinion. Also, I'd be extra cautious if you are acne-prone. Always patch test for a while before applying on your whole face. There's a tutorial on that on the sidebar...

Sorry for the wall of text though. Hope it helped a bit.

I am in love with the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreens. [amazon] (http://www.amazon.com/Neutrogena-Ultra-Sheer-Twin-Pack/dp/B004D2DR0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342374478&sr=8-1&keywords=sunscreen) It is a "dry" formula that doesn't mess up your makeup if you reapply during the day, and gives a nice base to start with. I usually use the 100 SPF which may be a little overkill. This has really worked well for me and the small size fits in most of my purses. It doesn't smell like sunscreen and isn't super greasy.

I use is as a primer then do my normal makeup routine, foundation and powder. I reapply throughout the day if i am going to be outside a lot of haven't put in on for a while. I use it on my neck, chest, and hands as well. What is the point of having nice skin on my face when I am older, if my neck, chest, and hands are starting to show age.

I would apply it every time I was going outside, when I was younger and first driving my left arm got a lot more freckles on it than my right since that arm was exposed to the sun on the drivers side. But I am very fair, and freckle easily, and I want to keep it that way.

I use this in the spray and rub on versions. I can play for 3 1/2 hours and I don't get burned.

Try this brand. I also hate the greasy feeling, but I’ve been using this for years. Best one I’ve found yet.

Sunscreen

"You have to be extra careful at protecting yourself at high altitudes," Rigel told Reuters Health. "People don't realize how much additional sun you get at higher altitudes. It's anywhere from an 8 percent to a 10 percent increase for every thousand feet of elevation. In the summertime, you can get anywhere from 40 percent to 50 percent greater sun intensity than at sea level."

Also, water, drink lots of water.

This is super generous! I personally wouldn't use the fake nails :)

My gifted post.

This Neutrogena Sunscreen is the worst product I've ever used. I know it works great on others, but it was terrible on my face. I was younger and didn't realize the importance of patch testing, so I piled it on. I had to deal with red blotchy, flaking skin for the next three weeks. Luckily it worked fine on the rest of my body!

I used this in Italy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004D2DR0Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Do the American branded sunscreens not show PA ratings?

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch and Elta MD are both great choices. From my experience, the Elta MD one completely absorbs and doesn't feel greasy at ALL. The Neutrogena one feels slightly greasier to me, but it's not like normal sunscreen greasy or anything. I tend to use the Neutrogena one more often because I can stand the smell of it more than the Elta MD, but I have a very sensitive nose, so that's probably just me. They're both great.

Hi there! I'm an avid skincare junkie, subbed to r/skincare and r/asianbeauty. I wear sunblock on my face because I don't want sun damage and wrinkles too early (prevention).

I've tried western sunblocks and japanese sunblocks, and I would say for your face, japanese sunblocks are the bomb! They offer the highest protection (spf 50, PA++++), and available for free shipping and/or on amazon prime! They also don't leave any residue, so it's like you're wearing nothing =D The problem though, is it's got a lot of alcohol in it to help it dry quickly, so it can be irritating for some. This one is like a waterproof lotion and good for the whole day.
This one has more, but less of a lotion, more of a liquid

All western sunblocks I've used either were too greasy and left my face shiny, or left my face white. If you don't mind that, Neutrogena Dry Touch ones are the best I've tried, but it was irritating for me because I'm allergic to avobenzone in their helioplex formula.

Sorry it was so long, was just trying to be helpful =P

edit: Note - there's a difference between chemical and physical sunblocks. Physical sunblocks contain titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide, and works immediately. Chemical sunblocks has chemicals like avobenzone, octinoxate, and a LOT of other chemicals. You would put it on your skin, and wait 15-20 minutes before going out (usually this time is negligible). The japanese ones I linked are a mix of chemical and physical, so it doesn't really matter when you put it on for it to work.

To start you need a cleanser and a moisturizer and a sunscreen at a minimum. I recommend the CosRx low pH good morning gel for a cleanser. I’ve never seen it sold in stores. I buy mine on Amazon. The Cerave moisturizers are well liked and can be found just about anywhere. I like Biore watery essence for a sunscreen because it’s matte and doesn’t cause acne and can be worn under makeup but Neutrogena makes a good one that works for most people too. You can add serums for skincare concerns like acne, redness, uneven skin texture/color, or wrinkles but you don’t have to.
