ChrissyC 6 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Do I really need to be wearing actual sunblock every day?? I'm not planning on laying out or anything crazy, but we have a family vacation planned (pool, beach,golf) - and with the weather getting nicer it's just a matter of fact that I'll be outdoors more often. But sunblock just feels NASTY on my face. I've been on makeup alley looking at product reviews, but I guess I'm unclear about sunscreen vs sunblock, vs makeup/moisturizer with an spf. And if it's waterproof, does it require special remover? Do I need to reapply it throughout the day if I'm just hanging out at the playground? After all the time, energy and expense of having fraxel done, I don't want to do anything dumb.ps Already bought the floppy hat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Colonel Angus 0 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Get Neutragena Ultrasheer Sunblock. This stuff actually is not greasy at all and keeps your skin from looking oily. It's available in SPF 15,30, 45 and even 55. Fraxel really does expose the skin and you don't want to risk premature aging, sun spots, or even worse, precancerous lesions.UltraSheer Dry-TouchI don't recommend amazon by the way, you can find this stuff at you local WalMart.

H-2-0 0 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Why even use sunscreen on the face? Got something against hats ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colonel Angus 0 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hats are fine at noon but do you wear hats in the pool? What happens when the sun hits your face from the sides in the afternoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
