Re: Suggestions on a Sunscreen that isnt so thick and white ?

[Guest guest]

Why not try the untinted Zinc-O? It shouldn't leave

that white pasty film you described, though you do

have to rub it in completely or you may see a whitish

residue in places.

Maybe you could try Super City Block SPF 25 or City Block SPF 15, from

Clinique.

You can check them on Clinique web page :

http://www.clinique.com/templates/products/search.tmpl

I use Super City Block for 2 years, and love it very much. I wear a

moisturizer underneath it tough.

Hope this helps,

Bye,

Francine

The purpleemu.com folks have a zinc--micronized--physical sunscreen

that is called " Solo 15 " I can't use the chemical sunscreens on my

face, either, because with the heat, the chemicals cause me to go

flaring red and bumpy; I can, however, use the chemical sunscreens on

the rest of me...just NOT on my FACE! They are on the web--I have a

dinosaur of a computer, but i'm fairly certain, the address is purple

emu . com (no spaces in between, of course)

hope this helps

Or try Marcelle - Protective Block -

for sensitive skin (no chemical sunscreen)

active ingredients: titanium dioxide 7.75%, zinc oxide 1.95%

It goes on very smooth & you can use just a very thin layer (thicker

if you want) It shows whitish at first but absorbs in pretty quick.

Its the only kind I've found nonirritating.
