girls who own bb cream.. can i ma fan you do tell me what ingredients they use as the sunscreen..? is it chemical block (like oxybenzone, avobenzone etc) or physical block (like titanium oxide and zine oxide) ah..?
there're some that i got in the states ga..
but i don't really recommend them because those mineral ingredients cast a white film on your skin (well cuz they're physical blocks). i'm really pale so if i apply it really carefully and take the time to pat it on. usually the white cast doesn't show. but on most ppl it does.
but what i look for in sunscreens is that they don't contain avobenzone and oxybenzone... i use mineral make up and avobenzone neutralizes the spf that mineral make up provides. and oxybenzone is... well .. long story short.. not good for your skin =p
dou ng hai ga~
there're a few sunscreens that you can get here without avo and oxybenzone!
it's hard to avoid the other chemincal ingredients.. but avo and oxybenzones aren't in a few sunscreens that i have~ especially ones for babies or kids!
but the sunscreens that they recommend (the ones rated "zero" for harmfullness) are basically physical block sunscreens that do not contain any chemicals.. and like i said they cast a white film on your skin if you apply more than a little..... i have all 3 of of the top 3 recommended brands (1.Blue Lizard anything without oxybenzone 2.California Baby anything with SPF 30+ 3.CVS) i only use them sparingly on specific areas or on my neck/body.
i was all paranoid about the chemical ingredients last year and i did a whole bunch of research. i ended up buying enough sunscreens that'll prolly last me a lifetime. -.- i don't think it's necessary to follow that database lor. just avoid oxybenzone for your sunscreen should be good enough. (or avobenzone as well if you use mmu like me..)
i got mine from superstore ja~ it's meant for babies. spf 50! when i bought it i didn't realize but it's actually superstore's own brand =\ but i didnt see it there this year. but i saw that coppertone has one as well.. it looks like it's similar to the one that i have. it's in a long tube~
