Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 I read somewhere that jojoba oil actually works as a minor sunblock, with an SPF equivalent of around 4. However, I've wondered the same thing. Would appreciate some professional feedback on this one. Perhaps Dr. Sy would know? --- Valarie Newbert valbert_2000_2000@...> wrote: > if you put an oil like jojoba on your skin, wont you > attract the sun and > burn? oil and the sun dont mix? > zinc oxide > > > > What are the ingredients in ZincO?

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 I have been using a sunblock with zinc oxide in it called vanicream spf35 for 4 days now. It seems to be help with my flushing. Dr. Nase uses this. I do have one problem though. When I wash my face at night with Neutrogena Extra Gentle wash, it doesn't take it off well. I use the cotton ball method but then I seem to over do it making my face get a little red. Then when I wake up in the morning my face is so pale but feels dry from the zinc oxide. Anyone have any suggestions how to remove this without turning my face red? Do you think olive oil might help to remove it. I don't want to stop using this. It seems to soothe.
