I've been using aloe vera liberally and it's helping the sunburn immensely. Your gentle and polite reminders as to how moisturizers and sunscreens work gave me a well deserved Homer Simpson "D'oh!!" moment. So, before going out, I'll be applying my moisturizer topped off with a good spf 45 sunscreen and all should be well. My scalp isn't sickly white looking, either. I guess the last three years of super short hair allowed enough sunlight through to give my scalp the colour as my face and neck. I think I'll be keeping it smooth for the foreseeable future.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moisturising-sunscreen#post-694511 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 19:44:03 +0000 harmonica 694511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Roche-Posay all over, besides face where Dermalogica SPF 30 rules (can be added to other moisturizers as well, but SPF will of course decrease when mixing) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moisturising-sunscreen#post-694499 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 19:35:35 +0000 Aziraphale 694499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Roche-Posay for me too. I use Hydraphase UV spf 30 for everyday -- it's a moisturizer with sunblock added. If I'm really going to be out in the sun, I use straight-up sunblock -- either L'Oreal Ombrelle or La Roche-Posay . They both make good ones for the face. I find all sunscreens to leave a film on my face, however (and I've tried everything). The dermatologist said that this is because sunscreens are intended to sit on top your skin, so they are not actually that moisturizing on their own. Moisturizers are meant to sink into your skin and make it harder for water to evaporate from it. Hope that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moisturising-sunscreen#post-694397 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:30:04 +0000 Scarlet 694397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, what sunscreen is not moisturizing, possibly excessively so? I use la Roche Posay for the anti-UVA goo it contains. Maybe other brands now have the same thing. Sorry about your noggin aloe is great stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moisturising-sunscreen#post-694391 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:23:16 +0000 Krista 694391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like Neutrogena sunscreen - the one for the face is especially nice and might be gentle enough for your scalp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moisturising-sunscreen#post-694390 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:22:23 +0000 Anonymous 694390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used Alba SPF 45 on my beach vacation, and it worked great. </p> <p>Hope your burn heals quickly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moisturising-sunscreen#post-694308 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:41:14 +0000 MNsara 694308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeow! your cute noggin sunburnt? That must be pretty tender :-(</p> <p>No great recommendations, just be sure your sunscreen isn't from last year (they lose their effectiveness), and use SPF 30 or greater. This year I got CVS brand sunscreen and was happy enough. </p> <p>Try an aloe lotion while your sunburn is healing. . .? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moisturising-sunscreen#post-694222 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 13:19:57 +0000 Julie 694222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, found out the hard way I need better sunscreen, and also one that moisturizes. Any recommendations? Now, I just have to contend with a scalp that will be peeling for the next while. </p> <p>Oh well, live and learn </p>
