Re: MUAC Website
is the sunscreen in my foundation enough? or what kind of sunscreen do you use? (I use smashbox)
also, how close to the eyes can we get…i have under eye circles and fine lines on my eyelids that i wanna take care of..
Re: MUAC Website
Nope. Even if you were not doing any peels or using any acids or whatever…the “sun protection” they put in foundations/power etc. is not enough. There are 2 major types of sunscreen: Chemical & physical. Google them to see the difference b/c I’m too lazy to type it all out.
I am a huge of physical sunscreen and believe they provide better protection. These sunscreen’s protect the skin by including a high % of Zinc Oxide. The “SPF” in these don’t matter…the #1](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1) you’re looking for in a physical sunscreen is the % of Zinc. Since this is the type I use, unfortunately I won’t be much help in finding a chemical sunscreen.
I used to use Devita Solar Protection for several years (bought it off Amazon). About a year or so ago…they changed their Zinc supplier & many online reviews stated that the “new” batches contained product that’s different in texture than the old one. This is the ONLY reason I did not re-order it once I ran out earlier this year. I currently use a body sunscreen by Pratima. I use it on my face/neck too. Its expensive but for me worth every penny b/c I LOVE the texture. Zinc also tends to leave a white cast on brown/darker skin and being NC40ish, I need to find one that doesn’t leave a white cast. Pratima works great for me. Neem Vetiver Body Sunscreen SPF30
If you’re ok with a tinted sunscreen, which cuts back the needs to wear foundation/BB cream whatever…then Juice Beauty is a great choice. Ulta sells it so you can easily try it out before buying. I got a sample of it once and really liked it. Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream Warm Glow Ulta.com - Cosmetics, Fragrance, Salon and Beauty Gifts
Again, with all the products above, look at the zinc %…not the SPF #.
Peels are not meant to take care of any issues around the eyes. Do not for a moment forget at the end of the day, its acid. So be super careful not to put it on your eyelids or directly underneath where you have dark circles, on lips etc. I have dark circles thanks to genetics and have not found anything to improve them so can’t help at all with this. For fine lines/wrinkles etc…ANYWHERE…you best choice is Retin A.
