Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / May 2007Sunscreen question
This is a stupid question but here goes: When applying sunscreen, do you apply it to your face before your makeup or after? I need it everyday & have no idea!!! I use moisturizer first, then makeup - when does the sunscreen go on? Please don't tell me no makeup - I'm 42 ;) Kim > This is a stupid question but here goes: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Kim Hi Kim, I do sunscreen, moisturizer then make-up, hope that helps, regards Janet  Signature-- Snake Lady Ok, beauty secrets. Well this will take me awhile LOL I never wash my face with soap. no lie, just don't... I put on oil of oley mosturizer first it has a little sun screen in it. Then wait while I brush my teeth. Thus it begins :) I put on the Oil of Oley Complete with 30 sunscreen in it. And or sometimes just use my vanicream 60 for sensitive skin sunblock. Then make up? Well a little dab of covergirl beige here and there added for that HINT of color LOL Then the mascara, eyebrow and walla...I am done. LOOKING good ... NOW If you believe that ending then you know I am kidding. but that is my routine. I am 61 going on 62 this month. Used the same type of make up and Oil of Oley since younger. I have had, and don't mean to brag, but people tell me I have a soft looking face. Just like my mom did. And what did she use? SAME as I am. This is not a lie now, honest. have a good day. janers I don't use a moisturizer, but I use a treatment, then the sunscreen, then the makeup if I'm going somewhere. I like the mineral makeup because it seems to stay better on top of the sunscreen. -Lori > Thanx for all of the information. What about faces that are seared from Lupus flares. What do you use to hide that???????????? ruth > Thanx for all of the information. What about faces that are seared from > Lupus flares. What do you use to hide that???????????? ruth Depends on how your rashes and burns appear. using a concealer in corrective tones helps. If your rash is purple use a concealer with yellow tones. That will cut down the appearance of blue. If your rash is very red try a green tinted concealer. Green counteracts red nicely. Either one, dab lightly over rash. then use foundation. Takes a bit of practice to get the tone correctors light enough. Try dabbing/patting with a sponge instead of dragging with your fingers. Much gentler on traumatised skin. Probably 99% habit, but this is what works for me: Wash face and immediatelly moisturise. Let that soak in while I get dressed etc. I then sunscreen. I like my neutrogena spf55 ultra sheer dry touch. They also make a 70spf. When that's dry it has a good matte finish so no worries about greasy feel or makeup sliding off. Then makeup! I also tend use a lighter moisturiser for day and go all out at night with Estee lauder's Estoderm emulsion. I read that sunscreen goes on first then you should wait 15 minutes and then apply your makeup. Jeanne Got to ask some of you. If you apply the sunscreen then the make up. Do you reapply that sunscreen or block every 2 hours like we all should? I usually do especially since I use "little" covergirl on top of mine. But if going OUT and into the evening, then by no way I reapply, if you get my drift..... I actually am bad at reapplying sunblock and have to remind myself with the tube setting out where I can see, and ONE in my purse. me again janers > If you apply the sunscreen then the make up.

But do carry a tube just in case. Also hubby and I like for reapplication the misting sunblock. Some can be extra greasy. But again I like the neutrogena spf45 cooling mist sunblock.I keep one in the glove compartment too. I know I'm a bit of a neutrogena commercial but we had coupons and I fell head over heels! Anyway a finer mist probably wouldn't mess with makeup like a lotion would. And I have a feeling if our initial application went well and had time to set or cure or whatever it would be effective for longer than 2 hours. We don't wash our face or rub it often like we do with our hands and arms... Tara > This is a stupid question but here goes: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Kim I put moisturizer on first. My theory being that the sunscreen has to dry to some extent and by then smearing moisturizer on afterward, I'm potentially removing or weakening the sunscreen. So for me, Moisturizer, then sunscreen, allow to soak in for about 15-20 minutes (ideally) then make-up. I use a mineral make-up however so I am not always so concientious on the soak in part. I don't use a liquid make- up of any kind. It is important, if putting anything liquid over it (moisture or make-up) that you do let it soak in for at least 15 mins. I don't reapply simply because I rarely am out long enough to do so. Since my make-up has an SPF of 15, at the most I will reapply some of the make-up if it's going to be a long day. Not the right thing to do, just laziness. I use a moisturizes with a broad spectrum sunscreen (saves a step). It goes on before makeup (which also has sunscreen). If using separate, I apply my moisturizer, then sunscreen. Haven't found anything to contradict that order Nicole Signature3 of every 10 Americans Know Someone With Lupus Help find the cure. www.lupus.org > This is a stupid question but here goes: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Kim |
