Stay Younger, Longer - The Lowdown on Sunscreen

[@WayneGoss]

Wonderful video. As someone that has recently had 3 moles removed and 2 for biopsies it was a very scary experience. I think the importance of sunscreen is one of the most important things we can do for our faces daily. Its estimated that we need 1.3ml of product (sunscreen) so using just an SPF foundation as a protective measure would mean you would go through a standard 30ml bottle before the mouth is out. Its also a HUGE amount of product on ones face. Personally speaking i cover up with SPF30-50 daily (mineral based as the chemical ones make my face burn), face, neck, chest hands etc... this experience has really taught me the importance of not just using it to look younger, but for the sake of your skins health. Again, wonderful video Lisa.

I've watched countless sunscreen videos from youtubers and not one of them told me something I couldn't quickly google, but your videos are so well-researched and professional - so different than the others that I've watched! I live in the US and I wasn't aware of why we can't get high tech sunscreen here. I recently took a trip to paris and was amazed at all the technology and research that's put into suncare! hopefully the US will follow the EU's lead soon!!!

If people can get their hands on Japanese sunscreen, I recommend them the most! Allie, Biore, Nivea and some other brands are amazing. Sunscreens are so in demand in Japan that they're constantly updating their formulations to beat the competition. The textures and protection are the best and they make a bunch for different needs. Mattifying ones, moisturizing/dewy ones, outdoor, indoor, and most will not leave the skin ashy. They're also very cheap! Even the compact and loose powder ones. One thing that amazes me is how almost all of them are SPF 50+ PA++++, including powder ones without being chalky while still being around $10 a pop. And I'm extremely grateful that Japanese sunscreens have government regulated UVA rating (the PA thing).

[@LittleAmyHe]

Oh and if you think Shiseido sunscreen is good (and I do like it), the ones you get at drugstores in Japan is even better. I guess it has something to do with the USA restriction thing, but I've heard from sunscreen fiends that the formulation in Japan doesn't feel that great either compared to many others. This site is a great resource for Japanese sunscreen: www.ratzillacosme.com/reviews/my-top-5-spf50-japanese-sunscreens-for-2015/ And if you need a package forwarding service, I really like Tenso. If you're not shipping to your address for the first order, you can also ask them to ship a postcard with a confirmation code. All Japanese forwarding companies need to confirm your address first.

[@LuckieDragon11]

Amy He I've used DHC's facial sunscreen forever.... it's from Japan as well and it's perfect for me. Have tried samples from other brands, but they don't compare.

Amy He I absolutely agree. The Japanese and Koreans take their sunscreens very seriously and the competitive market gives us great prices! I've been using Japanese sunscreens for quite some time now. I'll never go below a PA ++++

[@ryanchow8679]

this is my 5th year watching all ur videos on and on and i nver get tired. sometimes i prepare my popcorn then just randomly watch again and again all ur videos. thanks ms. lisa

[@geekNchic]

What frustrates me in particular is that companies almost never state the UVA (PPD) coverage protection on their product. A SPF can say broad spectrum on the box but you as a consumer still have no grasp of how high the exact PPD value is, which is very important to know (it has to be high e.g 30 and up). Also most people don't even apply nearly enough SPF so the vitamin d issue is no big deal and you can easily incorporate a vitamin d supplement into your diet. Thank for this video and making people aware of daily SPF usage, dear Lisa! :)

[@dsmgl]

I always wonder why people worry about vitamin D - as if their face and neck are the only areas capable of producing it! Sun rays go through most clothing, and most don't wear sunscreen on their whole body - so there is lots of skin exposed to the sun to get enough vitamin D! PS: Love your channel!

[@geekNchic]

+dsmgl Exactly! And there a still way too many people propagating this vitamin d issue like there's no tomorrow while still most people not even using enough SPF and thinking foundation / make up is plenty to be thoroughly protected against UV rays. Oh well, reading some comments here, there are too many misconceptions about sun protection out. Hopefully that'll change in the future! I'm super happy you do, thanks! :)

[@MiZzThANGz21]

dsmgl i have learned recently (after finding out I had low vitamin D levels) that the body needs to be bare skin in order for it to produce vitamin D from the sun. Wearing clothes doesnt accomplish this. It has to be direct sun to bare skin.

[@rachellawrence3415]

***** Thats correct I stay out of the sun and as a result my vitamin D levels were found to be too low after a routine blood test. My doctor said I need about 20 minutes a day of sunlight on my arms with out sun screen that is enough to get you required Vit D most people in the UK are deficient in vitamin D and the summer time is naturally the time to top up on vit d you do not get enough vit d via diet it has to be sunlight that advice comes from an excellent doctor

[@anastasiias8527]

***** As I read UVA protection should be not less than half of spf.

I adore watching your makeup tutorials, but THESE are the videos that I think truly touch your audience. You are really the at the forefront of skincare, makeup and fashion trends. Who else is out there sharing this information online in such an easy-to-understand, accessible way? No one. I am in my early 20s, and I know that I need to start taking better care of my skin in order to (hopefully) look like you as a get older. THANK YOU Lisa Eldridge for taking your time to put this video together, and more importantly for sharing your knowledge for free! You don't take advantage of your platform in the way many other "makeup artists" do. You are such an inspiration! I can tell that your passion for makeup artistry, skincare and education is genuine. I can't wait to get my hands on Face Paint.

[@s_shaleh]

This is why I love you so much. You always give in-depth explanations about products you recommend. I really admire your passion for all things beauty. You've taught me that makeup and skincare really go hand-in-hand, that you can't have good makeup application if you don't take care of your skin.

[@Em-fz6eb]

Super random comment, but ladies, putting sunblock on your hands is actually pretty beneficial too! I know hands don't seem like such an important thing when compared to your face, but you can REALLY tell the age of someone by their hands (i.e. sun damage, wrinkles, age spots, etc), whereas nowadays there are so many makeup products/skincare products aimed towards keeping the face + neck looking youthful (but obviously facial spf is a must still!)

[@sereinwu]

I really appreciate this in-depth video about sunscreen. I feel like there is so much outdated information out there. I personally feel better wearing physical mineral sunscreens vs. chemical sunscreens.

[@nilayozsuer8204]

I absolutely love every video you have :) I love the fact that they are not all about makeup (even though I love makeup), but also about skincare with the scientific arguments you provide. They are truly very helpful to me in every way. Thank you so much for taking your time to do them for us. I have been using sunscreen for years every single day, even in winter, and I have noticed a great fading in my hyper pigmentation that was left from my teenage years and never seemed to go away, well, until I learned about skincare and the importance of sunscreen. The one I recommend to everyone, unless they have sensitivity to alcohol, would be Biore Sarasara Uv Aqua Rich series, both the essence and the gel version. They have a velvety soft, matte finish with no whitecast.

[@LisaEldridge]

Nilay Holloway Thank you : ) I will look into that one X

[@artplosion]

I loooove Biore sunscreen!!!! I felt like I heard angels sing in the background the first time I applied it.

[@pinkchanklas]

I'm darker complexion and did outdoor sports for years when I was in high school through university. We weren't as knowledgeable about sunscreens back then and only the burning aspect was emphasized. As I never burn I failed to see the point of using it like my lighter skin teammates did. (Back then it was all about the thick NoAd for us.) On my longest days competing out in the sun my face would feel "leathery", and I wrongly figured it was just dehydration. (I had no idea!) Years later I can totally tell now how years of this abuse has affected my skin. On a positive note, I think that my having very oily skin has somewhat helped with countering the extent of the wrinkles, although my skin texture and coloring has still suffered. So even if you are young and on the darker side, WHERE THE SUNSCREEN! EVERYDAY. Thankfully the sunscreens today have advanced so much, and there's lots of great options. I wish I knew then what I know now.

[@kenchambers7137]

✿Nor.Cal.Gal✿ as a person of color , the sun affects your skin texture?

[@kalis856]

I've always used a particular Japanese sunscreen that felt like a serum, but just as I was watching this video I tried to repurchase it and it was discontinued. Thankfully you offered a good brand recommendation who makes one that looks like it will be a perfect replacement. Thank you Lisa! Sunscreen often contains fragrance, which can irritate the skin and leave people thinking they are too sensitive to use it on their faces, so my tip is to look for one that doesn't contain fragrance and has a dewy/moisturizing texture (both the "milky" and mineral sunscreens always dry me out and don't absorb as thoroughly as the moisturizing "serum" type!) If you try a sunscreen and hate it, try again. There are so many variations that are all held to the same sun-protection standards; inevitably one will work better than the others.

[@afsanabegum9011]

Love how Lisa is always consistent in the products she loves. Not like other you tubers where one min they can't live without a certain product and in their next video ( esp since it's sponsored) they start raving about another product encouraging ppl to buy

Thank you for being such a huge inspiration Lisa, we all have something to learn from you. x

[@hebayoussef1416]

Thank you for this, Lisa. For most non-Caucasians choosing a sunscreen is very tricky as most sunscreens have a white tinge and are greasy. The mattifying sun screens give an even stronger white /greyish tint when applied. The one that works for my dark olive skin is Eucerin SPF30 Mattifying Face Sun Fluid. It's neither white nor greasy and protects from both UVA and UVB.

[@LisaEldridge]

Heba Youssef good product tip, thanks Heba x

[@sunklee]

Heba Youssef I'm Asian, have very oily skin and prefer mineral-based sunscreen as most of the chemical sunscreen ingredients are oily by nature and can also make my skin and eyes burn. The best I've found is Paula's Choice Resist Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 which is (13%) zinc-oxide based and is tinted, so no whitish cast. The zinc oxide makes it very mattifying and can even accentuate dry areas, so some caution needs to be used in that regard.

[@styleisforever]

This video is amazing! So much time and research has gone into it, well done :) Just as an aside, Australia's regulatory body the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) updated the guidelines for sunscreen in Australia. Since 2012 the baseline has been SPF 50+ and with that comes vey strict restrictions on packaging and how you can advertise the product (now labelling things like "sweat resistant" are considered misleading). Since we are about 3 metres from the sun and have incredibly high exposure to UVA and UVB the authorities decided that SPF 50 is the best protection. That isn't to say SPF 30 isn't also available, but it's not as recommended. Also, just because you have sunscreen on doesn't mean you've protected yourself in a fail safe way. All Aussie kids have been trained or conditioned to "slip slop slap" since the 80s - slip on a top, slop on some sunscreen and slap on a hat. Hats especially provide a clear and effective barrier and also slow the inevitable dehydration that comes with sitting in the sun for an afternoon. Hope that helps Aussies around here :) we're constantly battling the elements during summer so I thought I'd mention the differences. There's more information here if you're interested www.standards.org.au/OurOrganisation/News/Pages/Australian%20Standard%20for%20SPF%2050+%20Sunscreen.aspx (it's a link to a PDF file). Thanks for reading :) xx

[@Piecesoftheshadow]

styleisforever Can you recommend any Australian sunscreens that are not fullnof toxic ingredients and are organic and natural?

[@stop08it]

I've been doing casual research on sunscreen for over a year now and honestly, your video is on point! You talk about a lot of things people never bother to mention.

[@issey-roquet]

I think that more attention should be put on the ingredients in sunscreen. I don't want to sound like a downer, but the problem with sunscreen is that it is extremely toxic and polluting to oceans and marine life, such as degrading coral reefs. When millions of people run down to the beach, that's thousands of tons of product swimming in the sea, essentially harming the beach. More care should be taken to how we consume our products, and which is more important between looking young and our impact on the environment. I still love your work though Lisa!

[@LisaEldridge]

issey you are right, this is also important (particularly where coral reefs are concerned) x

[@OrngePeel]

Yes! This is a huge concern where I live (on an island in the Pacific) and I was oblivious until I moved here.

[@lelexoxo303]

I believe the problem for the environment is physical sunscreens. I haven't heard of mineral sunscreens having a damaging impact. They are also much safer to use for the body as they do not contain nano particles, which can enter the bloodstream.

[@elenadzarasova2932]

[@MotionPictureMuse]

stephanie sprinkle At the risk of sounding rude... it sounds like you don't know enough about the topic to develop an informed opinion. The problem here is that the hazardous chemicals don't spread out evenly across the entire ocean-they stay concentrated in coastal regions, especially heavily populated or tourist-y areas. Coral reefs in those places play a huge role in filtering and maintaining water quality. Studies strongly suggest that octionxate and oxybenzone contribute to their destruction along with other marine life. Even if you're convinced that human lives are inherently more valuable than others, please realize that our health, our quality of life, and our very existence is made possible by the ecosystems we live in. When critical parts of those ecosystems are damaged, the potential for suffering and death is far, far greater. Besides, there are less harmful sunscreens out there to protect us from skin cancer. To my knowledge, non-nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide have the least negative impact on the environment.

[@snazzydarcyreads]

This was so great to watch! The UV rays in Australia are CRAZY high because we don't have an ozone layer. It's ridiculous. As soon as you are in the sun, you can feel the burn. At the moment I'm using Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 30+, and it protects against UVB & UVA. I'm really liking it so far, I've only been using it for the past week, but it's got pretty much zero oily finish to it. x

[@drina4706]

no, my dear. read my comments from above. the FDA is more conservative to keep us safe. plus they are the most important yet the most underfunded agency in the US government. I know as I have done a lot of research on them during grad school as a pharmacologist. not every formula/ molecule new under the sun is safe in the long run. the FDA is in constant touch with the EU's regulatory body on studies and adverse events of sunscreen use. the point is that some like PABA are great for short term use and extremely toxic even mutagenic or carcinogenic over the long haul!!!

[@MsLoopyLoops]

on the other hand, many very products available in the usa are not available for sale in the EU, for instance, because they contain ingredients known to be harmful to health.

[@wickandde]

@@drina4706 Hiya, genuine question here that I think with your background you may be able to answer. As much good as the FDA does, is it also true that it's one of the most corrupt/bribed angecies out there or is that just a myth? (Hopegully it is just myth!) btw asking because I'm not from the USA, one of medical friends said this in passing hence genuinely curious and also kind of scared me because our country runs it's drug regulation closely in line with FDA

Living in Australia, the sun can be quite harsh and finding a sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin has proven to be quite a challenge! I suffer from perioral and periocular dermatitis and as a result find myself spending hours at chemists searching up ingredients via my phone. During my time travelling through Asia, I found a great eco-friendly, Korean brand called Innisfree. From cream, gel, waterproof, oil-free, sebum-control to even hyaluron infused formulas! But most importantly, I'm grateful there have been no photoallergy signs. Your recommendations have been duly noted and I will be sure to purchase them if I ever visit the EU.

NichaLovesBeauty Hi, apologies for my delay in response. I am currently enjoying the Innisfree Eco Safety Daily Sunblock SPF30++ Water Base. I have also found that my skin reacts well to La Roche Posay's range so perhaps give their sunscreen range a try, as what works for one person may not work for another. Happy hunting!

[@anmitrng]

Ali V. Thank you for your clarification and your advice. There's just something about having the product physically there and being able to feel and play with the texture as compared to a blind purchase online.

Apply sunscreen after your moisturizer and before your primer. She probably doesn't show SPF in her makeup tutorials because it's a part of her skincare routine.

[@greenknitter]

+Laura Neuzeth Chemical sunscreens need to be applied directly to bare skin because they work by a chemical reaction of bonding with the skin. Physical/mineral ones can be applied after moisturiser.

[@giorgiabertaccini7722]

Lisa Eldridge you should, it really suits you and may suite many of us too ;-) xxx

[@valerierosel2399]

Rachel Johnston I tried to replicate her make-up this afternoon, as soon as I saw this video!! lol

[@angieyo2293]

Lisa Eldridge so nice!!! please do one tutorial

[@xylaardhiafiorina6844]

It's very fresh and lovely!

[@ellestyle2]

Hello Lisa, I live in France and don't know if this product is available in the UK, but still it's the Bioderma Hydrabio moisturizing anti-UV mist. The mist is so thin you don't have to spread it with your fingers, so it doesn't ruin your make up. it's spf 30. 3 or 4 spray are enough for the whole face. You need to shake it well before using it. I really like it. And I think it's espacially interesting for men because many don't like to wear cream, and this is like water. (there is some oil in it, that's why you need to shake it well) .It feels just like water ont the skin. So you can protect your man, and he doesn't complain. lol I think I remember you like the brand Bioderma, and this is actually very new, it came out this year. Thank you for this very complete and interesting video. Have a lovely day. Rose

[@Karakendall]

You are absolutely stunning, Lisa 😘

[@wendyromero4685]

¡Hola Lovely Lisa! I appreciate this tutorial, my cousin died from Melanoma when she was 25. She used to love the beach and outdoor sports. The sun at the Dominican Republic is intense. I hope all your followers leaned from it , including myself. Thank you. I am and will be taking care of my "mattress".

[@keletieslanka]

A tutorial of this gorgeous look please!!!!!😊

[@itsjustmesallie353]

Just seeing this video now - I realize it was 2015 and it's 2017 now, but I still appreciate the info you've provided here. Specifically I am grateful that you were so kind as to make special effort to give info particular to the U.S. Thank you.

[@Masechka143]

Here in Canada we get all the products you mentioned that are sold in the UK. Shoppers Drug Mart is especially useful for purchasing cosmetics from the UK and France. I have been using La Roche Posay for a few years now and couldn't be happier with the brand! Went to Hawaii and got 0 sunburn or tan, despite being on the white side. One thing I wanted to ask because I get mixed answers - does La Roche Posay test on animals? Since they are owned by Loreal, who used to or still does test on animals, does that apply to the company? Thank you.

[@brysoncarole]

:-)

[@KatHorrocks]

I always admire your SPF advocacy in a society obsessed with tanning! I do love my fake tan but would never sit out in the sun anymore. This is definitely being bookmarked and watched again with a notebook and pen! Watched whilst doing my makeup so want to re-visit and take it all in properly :)

[@kabetern]

beware of the peter thomas roth powder- I just bought this and it is incredibly orange on my pale skin so not the one for very pale skin people I am afraid.....and a waste of £24 unfortunately. Should be okay for people who are not super pale though.

[@isKatKat]

Thank you for this new video! Your previous mentions of sunscreen and SPF along with me having always had pale and sensitive skin has really made me into a bit of a sunscreen nut. Every time my parents leave for the golf course I always pester them with sunscreen and try to remind them of bringing some type of hat, sleeves, etc. Thank you, Lisa Eldridge!

[@asecretpath]

I wish I had known this in the eighties and I'm afraid I'm screwed.

[@cindywebb7718]

Oh I know what you mean!! Hey it's never too late, you'll be helping your skin from this point on at least :) x

[@asecretpath]

I guess so... but I already have a lot of sun spots... argh!!

[@vivianeishkanian2705]

I live in Canada and Avene and La Roche Posey are always the #1 choice of sunscreens bc we in Canada abide by the European sunscreen guidelines. The new "thing" now that we are seeing is the circle around the UVA which indicates that is approved as a full UVA block, Apparently Europe has had this for quite some time. I have been using Avene forever and I'm finally so happy someone in the cosmetic you tube world has mentioned how amazing the product is. Your awesome and I love your videos and your knowledge. your one of a kind!

[@Dominiquetd]

Lisa Eldridge Very informative, Thank you very much. I'm interested in the SkinCeuticals UV Defense you mentioned. I know you said it doesn't leave a white cast but does that apply to black skin as sometimes ones that say they don't still show up on us. Thank you.

[@ejmendez13]

Skinceuticals makes a tinted version called Physical Fusion SPF 50. I'm pretty tan and this one doesn't leave a white cast at all. It's like the color of NW30. If you wear foundation though it will cover the ashy-ness that a physical sunscreen may leave behind. Hope this helps.

[@hugzpls]

ejmendez13 Physical Fusion products in general are really good in my book. Worth it.

[@WitchBaby1692]

I have to tell you, your videos are my go-to place for skincare and beauty advice. I have tried a number of recommended products, including Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant and Glo Therapeutics Hydrating Gel Cleanser. I adore them both! I have been anguishing over finding a safe and effective sunscreen this year. With the recent exposure of Oxybenzone as the biggest offender and ingredient in American sunscreens I have been searching high and low for something both my son and I can use. I have just ordered Avène Hydrance Optimale SPF 20 (thank God for Amazon!!!) and am very excited to see how it works. While mineral sunscreens are all very well and good, I find they are difficult to apply (especially on children!) and don't have a lot of staying power without continually reapplying. This video was super helpful!! Thank you again for wonderful guidance:) xo

[@autumnmoore08]

SuperGoop makes a makeup setting spray that contains SPF 50 that you can spray over your makeup throughout the day.

[@MagaliSurLaMer]

autumnmoore08 Maybe I need to get this...

[@TOPHCAM]

***** The first ingredient is alcohol and the second ingredient is peppermint. Shame on them for making such a ghastly product.

[@lynnkb8793]

I love supergoop! The alcohol is denatured and that type of alcohol is used in many cosmetics and lotions. The peppermint is actually towards the end of the ingredients' list.. Not the second ingredient. I actually like the scent but it does leave a bit of greasy residue..

[@MagaliSurLaMer]

Interesting. Thanks for letting me know!

[@lynnkb8793]

+LOOKFAMOUS are you a dermatologist or esthetician?

[@LauraNeuzeth]

It's frustrating hearing how behind the U.S. is when it comes to skincare and sunscreen. I miss buying the European Avène and La Roche Posay. I used to buy my sunscreen in Mexico, but I need to do some research to see if they're using the European ingredients or the FDA approved ones. Thank you for such an amazing video! It was so well done and like always you're just full of knowledge.

[@imahimfan]

how do you reapply sunscreen over makeup!?! I've never understood

[@yakirzeev]

NightNoon y you can use powder mineral sunscreen, really easy to apply.

[@puppibanana]

There's also spray sunscreen

[@susanjacups7992]

you can dab the milk ones in and they soak in very well... not mineral based sunscreens though, only the chemical ones

[@binboda]

Oh god this must be obvious but I come from a very hot and sunny country and no one in my family ever used sunscreen so I've been very reckless with the sun too! So glad you made a video about this, Lisa!!!

[@jkaur2012]

Which is best under makeup?

[@tinamiller9878]

For a all over body sun block, there is a brand in Australia called Banana Boat - spf30 - 50 and my family and I have been using it for years and we haven't had a burn yet. The sport and waterproof ones are not suitable for the face - far too greasy - but it also means there's no dry skin on me in summer! Also, thank you for the reminder that mineral powder makeup is a sun block in it's own right - you've saved me the cost of buying the Peter Thomas Roth powdered sun block!

[@tawneyacuff5544]

I live in the states but I want to take advantage of the triozines that you mentioned to be the newest and best up to date protection, Can I purchase sunscreen from Europe online or are they not allowed to ship to the USA?

[@MotionPictureMuse]

I've ordered sun and skincare from overseas before, they can ship most products. No aerosol sprays. Many companies now offer free shipping to the US, or at least free over a certain dollar-amount.

[@amandaingraham3244]

I am pretty serious about sunscreen, as a 38 year old woman who has had multiple carcinomas (skin cancer) removed. I use a daily sunscreen (Elta MD), and for my mid-day touch ups, I also use Brush On Block. I used the Peter Thomas Roth one years ago but they changed the pigment in it last year and it's too orange now. Brush On Block is very neutral! I even use it on my kids.

[@plum7t]

I use the La Roche Posay sunscreen but it starts to ball up on my skin. Like it becomes flakey. I have normal to oily skin.

[@malidav5724]

I have exactly the same issue, bought two different items and could use most of it!

[@kimberleysmith4219]

LRP is the only sunscreen that doesn't make me break out. It doesn't ball up on my skin either. I have very sensitive skin and all affordable drugstore sunscreens I've tried (Garnier, Nivea, Neutrogena and many others) make me break out in spots. I guess it's just experimenting to find what works for you.

[@robynzentilli1656]

Thank you +Lisa Eldridge !!!!! Not only do you share with us your beauty tips on makeup, but also share with us your advice on how we can keep ourselves healthy and youthful!!! Cannot wait for more informative videos like this one!!!!! Xoxox Robyn

[@EastOrlandoFlorida]

You recommended several US sunscreens for sensitive skin that contain Avobenzone... that chemical is a NO NO for sensitive skin! It BURNSSS! Does the EU ingredients Triazone/Triazine burn us sensitives like Avobenzone? Also, that Kose one you rec'd is HIGHLY fragranced. I do wear it on beach days because it does work, but I will not be repurchasing because of all the skin irritants it contains.

[@katego370]

This is one of the best beauty video's on the internet! Quality information, easily available products and a lot of knowledge behind the scenes. Thank you and well done Lisa! Goes straight to my favourites.

[@WA-pd2cc]

dry skinned beauties, please leave a suggestion for me of sunscreen for dry skin😘🤗

[@zjzj6800]

Try Paulas Choice skin care products. She has a skin care range for dry skin, including sunscreen.

[@EileenR11]

aditi dixit gautam Nivea, as mentioned in the video. It's cheap, rubs in well and works nicely under make-up. Plus it is nicely creamy and moisturising.

[@greenknitter]

Thank's for this great informative video on sunscreens Lisa. I'm one of those people who don't tan much-super pale Irish skin and I'm a full time horticulture student so obviously I work outside a lot in all weathers. Trying to protect it in boiling 35 C heat in polytunnels in summer is a real challenge. I like to wear a little Josie Maran tinted moisturiser spf 30 just as a base so I have to find a separate high spf (50 in summer) mineral sunscreen as it's impractical to stop work every 2 hours to take off the JM then reapply a chemical one then put the JM on top again. So I think for people like me who work outdoors a mineral one is best-works straight away on application, much longer lasting than chemical ones so long as it's not rubbed off, plays nicely on top of my JM, no chemicals that irritate my skin, and zinc oxide has all sorts of skin benefits-tightens pores, reduces blackheads forming, heals scars and so on. Still searching for my HG mineral spf 50 for summer but I'll check out the SkinsCeuticals one.

[@AA-sp4gs]

The things I don't like about some of them is that they leave you looking white

[@beautytalkwithsam]

I absolutely LOVED this video! My dad had melanoma, so obviously this hits home for me. Wearing sunscreen has been such a big and important thing for my family since then. I did a very similar video just giving some information about applying sunscreen because it's so important to me but you really give so much detail and info in regards to US vs. Europe. I live in the US so unfortunately I'm on the worser side of things, but I hope the US can eventually follow the lead of EU sunscreens and sun care. Absolutely loved this video and the information and detail you put into it.

[@nicolemarie0001]

I need sunscreen so much! I burn like a marshmallow!

[@DDelilahM]

Nicole Marie LOL i feel your pain...im the same way

[@sunklee]

Excellent video and very good and accurate advice. As someone who has very oily skin and cannot stand anything greasy, I prefer mineral sunscreens as the active sunscreen chemical ingredients are oily in texture by nature. Plus, some of the chemical ingredients can sting the eyes and I've also experienced skin irritation with some of them. My current favorite is Paula's Choice Resist Super Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 which is zinc oxide-based, is tinted, so no whitish cast, and is very mattifying. It is so mattifying that it can accentuate any dry patches I have, so I have to take care to moisturize beforehand, but otherwise, it's perfect. I am never without it and always stock up during sales.

[@TheRawBabe]

So we need to shop sunscreen while traveling europe :)

[@sabrinaa8948]

Thank you for creating this video. All your content is wonderful. An updated sunscreen video, including more natural brands, would be greatly appreciated. I have been watching your channel for years and will continue to do so.

[@cathycawley6097]

What about around the eyes for retinol users?

[@quynhanhnguyen1497]

+Cathy Cawley i think you can use a sunscreen for sensitive skin for that. I use the Innisfree the minimum sunscreen SPF 25 PA++ for my eyes area

[@smabernethy]

Great video,thank you for doing an update! I have very fair,sensitive skin and live in a very warm,humid climate. I was so pleased to see that my local Walgreen's was carrying the LaRoche Posay line of sunscreens! I am currently loving IT Cosmetics CC+50 Creme from Ulta Beauty. While it does claim to have an SPF 50, a TINY (and I'm talking TINY) bit of the product on a foundation brush goes a long,long way. You can also layer the coverage until your satisfied. Check with your local Ulta,right now I think you can still ask for a sample of IT Cosmetics CC 50+ for free with ANY purchase! If they don't,just ask someone to demo the product so you try it!

[@BYTube86]

What to apply first a sunscreen or a moisturizer?

[@anitadiaz733]

mosturizer, let it dry a minute or two, you can press a kleenex to take off the excess, then the sunscreen. and it depends of your skin type and behaviour wich textures you should preffer. nowadays there are many textures and make up even powder with sunscreen

[@BYTube86]

+Anita Diaz you're the only one who suggested a moisturizer first haha most say sunscreen goes first. What I do now is mix few drops of sunscreen & moisturizer and apply them at once.

[@quynhanhnguyen1497]

+Bibi Blue You always apply your moisturizer first and then sunscreen. I have never heard of anyone suggest to apply sunscreen first. Sunscreens are supposed to set layer of protection on your skin, so if you apply sunscreen first then the moisturizer that is applied later can't get through the sunscreen layer and therefore can't moisturize, literally it's like you don't put any moisturizer at all

[@anitadiaz733]

+Quỳnh Anh Nguyễn yeah, right? and your mosturizer is your beauty treatment, you want it closer to your skin over your serum or lotion so it can improve your skin 😊

[@gemima.876]

+Bibi Blue dont mix a moisturiser with sunscreen! it's going to dilute the sunscreen spf probably to a really low spf so then there would be no point :(

[@lalrintluangi4632]

The thing about you, our dear Lisa is that you always did research on background and really know what ur talking about. And while you are talking about sunscreen might as well do ur make up tutorial coz u loookkkk amaaazingggggg ❤❤

[@bodyjewels]

Lisa You look beautiful in this video. What makeup are you wearing. All if it please.

[@patriciaabellana9281]

I'm glad to announce that CVS in America now offers La Roche-Posay, mid-range prices too! Thank you for being an outstanding educator, Ms. Lisa. Best regards from SUNNY San Diego! 😋

[@shshshakeonit]

Lisa, what does the TTIP agreement and the possibility of the U.K. leaving the EU mean for our sun protection? Interested to know your thoughts.

[@smashingpumpkin3]

Thank you so much for this video Lisa! I have very dry acne prone skin and I very much like Japanese sunscreens, my current one of choice is Sunplay Super Block, because it has a number of silicones it very much needs to be removed with an oil cleanser. I find that its also cosmetically elegant offering a touch of moisture without making the makeup slip/slide or look cakey!

[@monanucleosis2723]

korean sunscreen are ace

[@lise4369]

Which ones specifically? I'd like to order one and try it out.

[@agepe7]

This is such an important and informative video! There's so much confusion in terms of ingredients and efficacy, and it's easy to dismiss concerns about sun damage and underestimate the possible consequences of neglecting to take care of our skin when it comes to sun exposure. Thank you so much for taking the time to give such detailed yet condensed explanations and helpful advice.
