Sunscreen

Posted by hello1234 @hello1234, 20 hours ago

Hi Transplant Family!
I am having a problem finding sunscreen that I like. Do you have a favorite sunscreen for your face, scalp and a different one for your body? Have you tried one of the new scalp sunscreen sprays? Does your face sunscreen leave a white cast to your face or have you tried some of the new tinted versions? Do you
use the mineral only version?
I didn't know that sunscreen was going to be so complicated. Please let know the brands and types that are working well for you. With all my MOHS surgeries, I want to be diligent with my sunscreen.
Thanks everyone!! ☺️

I use drmtlgy tinted moisturizer or elta md tinted moisturizer every day as face moisturizer and sun protection. Both good quality dermatology recommend. They are spf 46 and give protection daily when out and about. Sometimes if i want more makeup coverage, I'll mix in some foundation but the tinted daily gives decent basic coverage for running errands etc. If I plan to be outside in sun all day like yard work, beach etc, I will put on a pure sunscreen. I like the nuetrogena face sunscreen. Non oily and high spf. They also have non oily powdery spray for body that I like.

Hi @mkhogan and @gingerw 😀
I hope all is well. Thanks so much for your sunscreen info. I never heard of either "drmtlgy" or "elta md". I will definitely check them out! I assume you can buy both brands on-line since I have never seen them at CVS.
I will also check out Neutrogena.
Thanks again!!
