Thank you ❤
Cheers!
Thank you ❤
People like you are real gem! 🥺
Has ANYONE caught her talking about octocrylene and oxybenzone??
My co-workers make fun of me because I always reapply sunscreen before going outside when it's sunny and say I smell like sunscreen. I try to explain the benefits of sunscreen as much as I can in these scenarios and managed to get one of my coworkers to at least start applying sunscreen to his face in the morning. Don't care about the teasing since I'm protecting my skin!
im a guy and i have to be outside many times, i wear white cast sunscreen, couldn't care less what people think as they wont be there if i get skin cancer
Mineral sunscreen tends to not smell “like sunscreen” and it’s also better for the environment
Give it 10 years, when they've she's horribly and you still have youthful, healthy skin....youll have the last laugh (and without the laugh lines 😂😂😂)
I work in a pharmacy and My co worker also laugh at me for re applying sunscreen when i go outside. My pharmacist laugh at me saying i am overdoing. Dont care! Will keep applying
Try EltaMD it’s fragrance free they have both normal sunscreen and tinted which gives this incredible glow.
Thanks. I know it's annoying to have to repeat yourself but in our defence it takes time to work our way through your videos. Often I've asked a question only to later find it answered elsewhere. Such is life. We're all busy. Regardless, I ALWAYS appreciate it when you keep your content science based. I love that I can trust you to accurately interpret data and present it in a no-nonsense way. This is a quality in short supply on UA-cam. Thank you. Reality is always preferred. I love, love, love that you understand and reflect true science. Thank you. You're a gem.
Not annoying at all. In fact I am thrilled that people actually are taking an interest and happy to repeat. Thank you for your sweet comments and support. Have a great weekend!
I’ve watched this video so many times. I always come back to watch it. I just forget everything after a while.
@@DrDrayzday You're truly amazing. Gold, doc!
@@DrDrayzday is a sunscreen that only has zinc OR titanium dioxide as protective as one that has both minerals? I’ve read conflicting things online regarding the protectiveness of either of those as a stand alone ingredient. Thanks!
I wish other physicians had youtube channels as informative as yours!
“Zinc and/or titanium dioxide, exclusively” got it! You’re the best!! Appreciate that you repeat 12 times!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Dr. Dray, I can’t thank you enough for the evidence-based and honest information on your channel. I have learned so much about skincare, and I feel that I really don’t have to be afraid of “chemicals” in products and I don’t have to spend a fortune to have a great skincare routine. My life would genuinely not be the same without you. Your strength and heart for others are an inspiration. Since you have been so helpful to me, I wanted to let you know I’m concerned about you. I’m hoping that you are seeking any help you might need. Anyway, thanks again for giving so much of yourself for other people.
I just felt compelled to share how much I appreciate your videos!! It has been a belief of mine that you protect your skin from the sun during the day and hydrate the crap out of it at night. I love seeing a professional backing up my understanding, I am also learning SO MUCH from your channel. Thank you Andrea!
Thanks for watching!
Love your q&a vids! Have a great weekend and thank you as always. You're one of my favorite channels to watch; never miss a single vid!
Thanks so much Ms Jennifer for your sweet comments and support. Have a great weekend!
I'm so happy I found your channel! Your videos are always super informative and beneficial 👐
Thanks so much!! Happy weekend to you!
Another good educational vlog, Dr. Dray! I have sensitive skin and have found that the CereVe and Eucerin face creams with SPF do not irritate my eyes. I love that you emphasize the health of our skin, not just the " beauty" of it! Have a great weekend😊
Julie Erickson thanks Ms Julie! I love both of those too 👍🏼 hope you have a great weekend
The mineral kinds are so good on my face! I recently started caring about sun protection. Found that there’s no stinging for me with this type, and I use mineral & chemical type for my body.
For the first time in my life, I'm taking sun protection seriously. Better late than never. Who knows how many lives you save making these videos. Previous to viewing your content, I believed chemical sunscreens were endocrine disrupting nonsense and I couldn't be bothered. With my rosacea, I found them very irritating anyway. Now I understand that physical/mineral sunscreen is best for me. Thank you for changing my life! Sincerely, one of your most dedicated "SUNScribers"
Dr. Dray, thank you for your practical skincare insight, I've really been enjoying your videos and I am finding your commentary on skincare ingridients very helpful.
Thank you so much Ms Jessica! Glad to hear you are enjoying the videos. Have a fantastic rest of your week :)
Finally! My question about the IT Cosmetics CC cream with spf 50 was answered! 🤗
One of the most informative and well made videos about sunscreens I've ever watched! Hats off! 😀
Thanks!
This was amazing! What a great idea for a video. All of the tidbits of info about sunscreen that I have learned by watching your daily videos are presented here in a concise and clear manner. Thanks for doing this for us - it is a great source that should get a lot of attention with the onset of summer. Yes - I think that a video about your favorite sunscreens would also be a great idea. One thing that frustrates me is the "pilling" that I sometimes get. I do not know whether it is a formulation issue of the brand, a bad batch, or the product reacting with something that I previously applied to my skin. I do wait between applications but it still happens - currently with the "Cerave Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30." I still use it and deal with the "pilling" because I hate to throw things away. Have a great holiday weekend!
I am a light skinned African American and also apply sunscreen to the skin on the back of my hands. My brother had skin cancer (he is a physician) and had neglected using sunscreen. I’ve been using sunscreen faithfully for over 20 years. Thanks for your great advice.
So informative, LOVE that you made this video! Thank you!!
Thank you so much Ms Lori! Have a fantastic weekend :)
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! Hope you are having a fantastic Saturday!
Thank you Ms Vivian!
Yes to a video of favorite sunscreens! I use Cotz tinted sunscreen, Neutrogena Pure & Free, and on my body Banana Boat for Kids SPF 50 and Coppertone Oil Free SPF 30 sunscreen. I need to try a baby sunscreen and see if it will work around my eyes. When I walk outdoors, in addition to sunscreen I wear my Costco straw sun hat and Vapor long sleeved sunshirt. Thanks for the great info!
Rocking a solid sun protection game Ms Sherry! Have a fantastic holiday weekend :)
Such a great job Dr. Dray!!! Thank you!
Thank you Ms Brooke! Happy friday!!
I love Image matt sunscreen. It’s a physical sunscreen with moisturizer and antioxidants.
Your videos are so informative and helpful! I gotta get my hands on some spf... which moisturizers with broad spf do you recommend?
I'm acne-prone, combination, and sensitive so I'm kind of iffy on layering a moisturizer and then a sunscreen. I'm afraid it'll be too greasy or moisturizing.
Or is there actually no difference between layering the two and an spf moisturizer?
I'm still catching up on your videos so idk if you already covered these
Badger zinc stick all over face ears neck chest when working in the garden, smells like cocoa butter! My family asks why I have clown makeup on when I work in the garden! I don't care, it works! It can be worked into the skin a bit for more acceptable public appearance but I like just swiping it on full strength and leaving it for working in the garden.
Thanks for sharing this Ms Jane! Hope you get to enjoy the garden some this weekend :)
Such an excellent video! Very thorough. My favorite sunscreen is Elta MD physical. I can't wear chemical sunscreens on my face. I like that this sunscreen is lightly tinted and wears nicely under makeup. Thanks for doing videos Dr. Dray.
Yeah it is a great one! Happy weekend to you!
Would love a video on your favorite sunscreens!
stay tuned! happy friday!
hey dr dray, you should get a uv camera so you can see all of the damage from the uv lights(not that you have any lol) but I think it would be a cool device to invest in😄
i mentioned that recently
Hi Dr. Dray, is it ok to use a physical sunscreen in the morning and use chemical sunscreen as a touch-up throughout the day?
Hue yes
Hello, Dr. Dray, is it safe to you chemical sunscreen during pregnancy? Thank you so much for your video! I am a big fan of yours!
Excellent content. Thanks Dr. Dray!
Thank you for all the info! Is there a video where you mention your favorite sunscreens?
Very informative video, thanks dr. Dray. I use Neutrogena Liquid Lotion Sunscreen For Acne-Prone Skin. So far I like it even though it stings a bit when I apply it. However, I may try Aveeno Positively Radiant since it's a moisturize and protect the skin at the same time.
Thanks! positively radiant is a chemical sunscreen, however, so it can be irritating (plus it has fragrance...meh)
Excellent video! Very informative, thank you for posting. I look forward to hearing about your favorites. New subscriber!
Thank you so much and so happy to hear you enjoyed! Welcome to my channel and I hope you have a fantastic weekend :)
Hello Dr. Dray !
Thank you for your educative content! 💕
For the chemical sunscreen, should I apply before or after moisturizer?
Thank you in advance!
I'm LOVING the EltaMD UV Shield! It definitely has a bit of a white cast, but it's manageable and I highly recommend it to any darker girls here in the comments section! Another sunscreen I absolutely love for an active day is the Jack Black Sun Guard SPF 45! It's marketed as a men's brand, but the sunscreen is amazing, and the whitecast is minimal! It is loaded with silicones though, and with daily use it ended up breaking me out, but it's great to wear during my weekend hikes!
So happy to hear!! Have a great weekend!
EltaMD cause me terrible breakout, especially the physical ones.
I will be upgrading my sunscreen today to a mineral/physical sunscreen. Thank you!
Hello Dr Dray! Thank you for sharing your knowlegde with us. I would like to know if I should continue using a sunscreen if when first applied stings?
I was 100% here for the answer about black skin lol.
yeah! Good to know I'm doing the suncreen right. I use the layer method too.
I'm so glad I discovered you! Sometime at the end of college (when I'd be out in the sun a lot walking around campus), I started getting rashes on my arms, hands, and chest from sun exposure, so I've been wearing sunscreen daily ever since which significantly helps prevent that. But I had no idea there were different kinds of sunscreens based on their ingredients and the essential need for reapplying, waiting 20 minutes after application, and replacing them after a couple of years. I thought the Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion w/Sunscreen I use daily was good enough. But I see from the ingredients that it's a chemical sunscreen, so I'm going to look into other options. I've learned quite a bit from your videos, especially this one that puts all the info together, and I thank you!
Also, I try to stay out of the sun as much as possible, but I've been criticized for it, especially recently when a blood test showed I'm vitamin D deficient. I was prescribed a weekly vitamin D2 50,000 pill and have been told by others I need to sit outside for 20 minutes a day, which I don't want to do. I'm glad to learn from you that there is no evidence sun exposure is an efficient way of getting enough vitamin D. So again, thank you for such useful information!
Finally, I really appreciate you reinforcing the idea that even sunscreen isn't enough and covering up should be an added method of protection. I had no idea there was clothing specifically for sun protection. The items you linked are a bit above my budget, but I may have to make an exception since they're an investment in my health.
Oh! And the recipes you share! I'm definitely trying some of those. I've gone back to start watching your videos from the beginning, and you've inspired me! Thank you again, Dr. Dray!
Thank you so much for sharing this Ms Amy! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. Hope you are having a great night :)
Hey Dr Dray! Would you be able to do a video on the differences between the variousTYPES of CHEMICAL sunscreens (I.e. oxybenzone vs homosalate etc) and their purposes/pros/cons etc.?
First I love your videos and thank you for making them. What's the difference between physical and mineral sunscreen? Could you recommend a gentle sunscreen for children. Thank you. ☀️
I really like the Garnier SPF 15 Clearly Brighter moisturizer. It's so lightweight and even though it has a low SPF I think the ratio of avobenzone 3% and octocrylene 10% make it pretty photostable and it's so lightweight I can apply a ton of it and it's not greasy. I also appreciate the vitamin c, and LHA in it.
Aaron Bear thanks for sharing!! good to hear that this is working out well for you
Hi dr. Dray! A very informative video as usual :) My derm told me not to use sunscreen since I'm still suffering from adult acnes (the cyst one!). She said it will clog my (large) pores and only make my acnes worse. So, could u pls discuss about sunscreen for oily-acne prone skin in the next video? Which sunscreen is the safest and best for these type of skin?
The sunscreens i list in the description box of this video wont worsen acne
Thank you so much!! This definitely helped to form my decision on what type of daily sunscreen to get.
:) Thanks for watching
So what do you use ?
I should take a few days off work to binge watch your videos! 😂
Such good info! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the explanation on the sunscreen type differences. I'd been curious which is more effective.
thanks! physical is more reliable
Hello Dr. Dray! Happy Friday. I would love to see a video re: your favorite (and not-so-favorite) sunscreens.
My personal favorite is the Josie Maran SPF, followed by Mychelle and Andalou Naturals. DeVita also makes a nice face sunscreen. My husband enjoys the Badger sunscreens, although I find them to be a bit too thick for the face, and some of them are essential oil heavy.
Have a great weekend.
I have to say that despite the hefty price, i love that josie maran sunscreen. So nice. I have heard excellent things about badger (cruelty free, i think?). Hope your trip is going well!
Dr. Dray I need some advice on when to use sunscreen. I work overnight from 9pm to 5am I wash my face before I go to sleep at 6:30am, I wake up around 2pm then go about my day and then I wash my face again at 7pm. My question is when should I put on sunscreen? After I wake up? Also, when should I put on facial medication (such as benzoyl peroxide) in the morning before I go to sleep or at night before I go to work?
Hi Doc! Quick question here:
Regarding the combination sunscreens, say half chemical and half physical, would that affect how long you have to wait before going out into the sun?
Thanks!
Do you personally feel that EltaMD UV Clear and some of their other combination sunscreens match up to LRP Anthelios XL (the european stuff, not USA)?
I did an experiment with UV detection beads. I used EltaMD UV Clear, LRP Anthelios XL Ultra Light Fluid, and Blue Lizard Face. I used 1/8 teaspoon of sunscreen applied over a ziplock bag for all three sunscreens. Inside, I put the same number of beads for each individual bag. Then, I put it out in the sun for 10 minutes right next to each other. I also had a control to compare the colors to one with NO sunscreen at all. All but the Anthelios the beads turned color when exposed to UV light. The Anthelios remained white! That proves to me that the Anthelios is far superior.
But the problem is that the LRP doesn't suit my skin as well as the EltaMD products. I guess I want the best of both worlds, nice texture, non-irritating, AND superior sun protection. Any advice?
Thanks!
Yay! Love this video! Have a great weekend. P.S I think we should be called Dr. Dray SUNSCRIBERS 🤔
That name is GENIUS mademoiselle! You have a rockin weekend!
Oh my goodness that is so clever! Love it 🌞
Dr Dray I don’t like sunscreens that are heavy feeling or think I love the sunscreen I saw in one of your videos the Nivea gel sunscreen 30 spf love it I only apply it before going to school not sure if that’s enough for right now and are their other better options that will make me feel more protected
Or can we try Dr. SUNDRAYS?
I love that :)
Thank you for your very informative videos. Have you reviewed any vegan/cruelty-free sunscreen products, such as Kiss My Face SPF 30, Ocean Potion, etc.?
Since the Neutrogena sunscreen has Helioplex, is it stable enough to layer zinc oxide and Octinoxate over or under it without destabilizing the Helioplex and decreasing its UVA protection? I can’t find any research on this.
Hi Dr Dray, I really love the way you explain things!
I got irritated by mineral sunscreen... Every time I used mineral sunscreen, afrer a few hours, my skin started to feel tight and weird, especially the areas around my mouth... Then, those tight spots started to peel the next day and became red... I don't think it is normal... Anyone faced the same? How can I still use mineral sunscreen without this irritation issues... Thank you!
Do you recommend a specific brand for oily acne prone skin? I tried anthelios gel crem xl and it clogged my pores :(
Hi Dr Dray. I just discovered goddess garden organics sunscreens at Walgreens. They do have lavender oil in them but don't irritate my skin which is pretty sensitive. They contain aloe, shea butter, coconut oil and some other oils and is a bit thick but is certified organic and non gmo and cruelty free. It smells great and is a mineral sunscreen as well. Its also very inexpensive. Great for people who want cruelty free and organic. Comes in spf 30 and spf 50. Thanks.
learnt so much from this video!!! thank you!!! do lightbulbs emit UV light? How do I protect myself from them?
Not sure if your hair is shorter here or it’s tied, but a bob really flatters you!
My favorites are the Josie Marian SPF 47 and the Shiseido oil-free SPF 42. Have you ever tried/heard of the Australian Gold SPFs? They are inexpensive and come in tinted and untinted formulas
Love that josie maran one except its pricey. Stay tuned, i plan to try australian gold
Dawna, Yes I just found this sunscreen also and it is excellent for the price. I can wear it under full makeup and it works great.
+Dr Dray (A Day with Dr Dray) yas please! Try it out, doc!
Great video! There is so much misinformation on UA-cam from self anointed gurus that it is frightening!
One of the sunscreen issues for those of us who wear foundation on our faces is finding a sunscreen that protects but does not fight with make-up. Cheers!
Thanks!! yeah im not much help with the makeup wearing crowd unfortunately
Palladio,
Look on HotandFlashy You Tube station. If you look back on her videos, she will review mineral sunscreens that are good under makeup.
I use full makeup everyday (primers, foundations, cream contouring, powders, bronzers, contour powder, blushers, highlighters. And i use Bareminerals Prep step Mineral Shield SPF 50; it is magical, works like a mattifying primer rather than a 23% zinc oxide sunscreen. The love of my life!
Yes. I follow Angie ( Hot and Flashy) always.
Thanks for the recommendation! Cheers.
What are your thoughts on the tinted Sunbum sunscreen/primer?
do i still need to use sunscreen when im only out/about enroute to/from work before 8am and after 5pm? :) i'm loving forward to your reply; thank you.
Hi Dr Dray, Have you tried Image skincare prevention+ daily matte 32 spf? I would love to hear your opinion. Thanks xoxo
Dear Dr. Dray, I have watched almost all your videos about sunscreen and I would really love to try out some of the sunscreens you have mentioned. I was wondering which sunscreen you would recommend to someone who wants to use only one sunscreen product? You have also mentioned the fact how important uva protection is and that there are some ingredients that stabilize the filters in the sunscreen. It would be really helpful if you could tell me which sunscreen is the best when it comes to these attributes and to the fact that I would like to use only one product, since I am quite overwhelmed by the variety of sunscreens. Thank you very much!
Hey girl! I've been watching your videos but haven't found which is your winner when it's comes to daily body sunscreen. I work at the farm and here in Venezuela we have perpetual sun. I order my stuff off of Amazon so everything available on USA works for me.
Bought a full size Biore UV Milk
SPF50PA++++ because of you . This better work with the differin I bought.
Dr. Dray, I am so absolutely over-the-top happy that I stumbled onto your channel !!! I am definitely wanting to simplify my skincare routine. A couple of years ago, I started the Obagi system -- it is way too expensive...what are your thoughts on the products ?
Try The Ordinary instead, for an affordable alternative.
Thank you so much!! Obaji is very expensive and makes use of the "medical grade" marketing nonsense to sell you a bunch of stuff under the premise that is somehow physician crafted. I am sure many of their products are actually good, but I don't tell people to buy expensive skin care because it simply is not necessary.
Thanks for doing this one!!
Amazing Class !!! This video and yourself are phenomenal...Thank you for sharing all your information and best answers in regards Sunscreens.
Thank you so much!
I just love all your detailed information! I am wondering what you think about the Julep brand gel sunscreen named 'No Excuses'? I really enjoy the gel formula due to my oily skin. I don't love the price, but I'm on my 3rd bottle because I love the feel of it so much. Thank you!
thanks! not familiar
I started wearing spf 50 everyday for 3 years and after the first year my doctor tested me for vitamin d deficiency 🤷🏻♀️ oh well I’d rather take a pill every once and awhile. I got a bbl facial and the nurse was struggling to pull up my hyperpigmentation. She goes wow you actually do take care of your skin. 🙌🏻 sunscreen is the best thing for your skin!
But I just learned I haven’t been using the best sunscreen 😭 atleast I reapply throughout the day. Side note I was a welder for a couple years and was the palest welder in the shop 😂
I wear the Banana Boat mineral-based kids sunscreen and I actually use it as my foundation. I'm kind of pale so I can get away with the white coating. Some might say it's "greasy" but I personally love the way it feels on my face. It gives my skin a super dewy look.
That's how I feel about La Roche Posay mineral screen. It leaves a cool dewy look and I feel nicely protected 😊😊😎
What are your thoughts on homosalate? I’ve heard that’s another ingredient to avoid in sunscreens.
Hi Dr Dray, I use this specific sunscreen but it makes my skin super oily, what should i do?
Thank you doctor 😊, you are the best, and it is my luck to find your channel
Thanks so much! Hope you are having a great day :)
I would really like to try either the cerave or eucerin sunscreen once I'm done with my avene SPF 50.. cerave almost costs double here in India as compared to the USA.. so I'm still wondering which one to get doc.. great video as always. thank you.
Thank you Doctor Dray!!! ❤️
@lambchopxoxo the third q&a video, 7 mins in, she addresses that as you said, chemical sunscreens should be applied prior to exposure so it can form a film specifically, however it should be active right off the bat. Not sure if she talks more about it in this video too but if not check out the third one.
Great video! What do you think about spray tanning? Is it good for your skin or no? And if it is, which type of products do you recommend?
Ps would love a video on your favorite sunscreens
see my fake tan video, discussed there; i also have a few sunscreen favorites-type videos
I love Olay complete sensitive spf 30. I wear it every day.
Very informative, living in the UK I had the silly idea I didn't need to worry about sun damage etc. So I have learned and for the past few years I've been using Pigmentaclar UC SPF30 and on top a sunscreen named ProZone ultra crema, a broad spectrum, with an SPF 80 UVB/89 UVA with melanine and chemical sunscreen, is this a good combination being that both products have chemical sunscreen? Which one would you recommend to change? Thank you very much for caring about our skins, cheers!!
Espocita M they both sound fine. Chemical sunscreen needs to be replaced every 3 years
Need someone to recommend a green spf face mist to go over makeup. P.s I’m live in UK and can’t pay hefty shipping! Thanks ❤️
Hello Dr Dray. Your educational information is really beneficial to me. I am Malaysian, from Asian, with hot weather. My face breakout after I reapply cetaphil non-comodogenic sunscreen. I wash with Neutrogena 2% salicylic acid oil free face wash but I feel tingling the next day. What should I do?
Great video, I'm a new subscriber. Have you tried Supergoop mineral sunscreen? What is your opinion on Polyphenols?
Thanks! Expensive, so no. I discuss polyphenols in several videos, like this one: ua-cam.com/video/Trs9HvsK2ZA/v-deo.html
I have become OBSESSED with sunscreen and im having fun with it I get excited when I buy new sunscreen 😃
I feel you 😁 i've been binge watching dr dray recently and all I care and want to try out are sunscreens. I also care less and less about makeup/foundation because my skin looks so great already and i'm so happy I finally invest my money in something that is litterly a lifesaver
can we mix foundation/concealer with physical and/or mineral sunscreen for the follow up layers?
Amazing explanation like always Love your videos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻hope to be a dermatologist soon
What is your opinion on Lab Muffin's opinion on physical/chemical sunscreens?
so in combination sunscreens avobenzone is working with titanium dioxide ...i thought the latter destabilizes avobenzone
Thanks Dr. Dray! Totally loving the EltaMD products. Seems to be the only brand that doesn't freak out my crazy sensitive skin! Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much!! Yeah eltamd nails the vehicle well. Glad you are enjoying Ms Belinda and happy friday!
Nice. I am loving these sunscreen videos especially coming from a dermatologist. :) A good sunscreen is hard to find.
Happy Friday :)
Not sure if you've covered this before but, does a higher SPF mean better protection? Will a SPF 30 provide the same or near the same protection than a SPF 50?
Sunscreens with Avobenzone break me out like the Neutrogena clear face one and the daily moisturizer with SPF 50 by Aveeno. The only sunscreen that doesn't break me out is Etude House's Surprise Airy sunscreen
I use Garnier SPF 50 It's a physical sunscreen. I've been using it for years and I'm a happy customer. It's also affordable and has a brightening effect.
thanks for sharing!
I grew up in the 60's when the only sunscreen that was available was spf 4 or 6. My mom, who was very pale (as am I) used diaper rash ointment (the water based formula 40%) to add to makeup, sunscreen etc. From the era when we all had white noses from the zinc oxide, is this viable? I still add a little zinc oxide into my moisturizer (even though it may have spf in it) everyday.
Crazy?
Thanks
Take care, love your videos
Vicki
They have come along way, but still a work in progress. Hope you are having a great weekend Ms Vicki!
I have been a bit on the desperate side having not liked all the garbage in the sc & dimethicone that 40% diaper rash zinc ox cream seems like not a bad idea mixed with some carrier such as squalane. I've literally read dozens of ingredients & none of them would be my perfect mix. Some even have alot of oil & could lead to break outs. I've not used SC daily for a real long time. I am very fair but seems to reflect the sun myself so I rarely burn & my legs are still lily white despite being out & about. At 60 I know I should try a bit harder but to me I'd rather just use zinc oxide on a natural safe base than mixing it w all the chemicals. Came here to Dr Dray as she takes the time & cares about our skin!
yes i would love a sunscreen favorites from you! I just recently started using La Roche Posay mineral anthelios and would be interested in your thoughts. :)
Thanks! I tried that one out a few vlogs back, but will be sure and include it in the run down. Thanks for reminding me and hope you are having a great friday night!
My next 2 sunscreens to try are: Thinksport and Blue lizard. Coolibar recommends and sell them. But Amazon has them too.
I love blue lizard! Haven't tried thinksport, but thanks for mentioning that one to me. Have a great night Ms Yuliya!
Dr. Dray, thank you so much for making this vblog. I always looking forward for it every morning before I start my day. Can you make a reviews on Pond’s Rejuvenates Anti-Wrinkle Daily Moisturizer with Suncreen Broad Spectrun SPF 30 infused with Alpha Hydroxy Acid and Collagen, Pond’s Clarant B3 Even Skin Tone Daily Moisturizer with Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Infused Vit. B3. Thank you so much ! Hope you will have a New Year.
I would love if you could review some of the physicians formula drugstore products. I am using their spf 30 Rose all day moisturizer.
