| amnis, i'm looking into marie veronique sunscreen. It's an oil based. However, I asked my Derma about organic sunscreens, and he doesn't recommend them! so now I'm thinking. Should I follow my Derma advice or not... |
Are you talking about the Sun Serum? ( expensive!) or the Crème de Soleil?
Do you mean your dermatologist? If so, he/she might be advising against an organic sunscreen b/c he/she is unfamiliar with the formulation and b/c it's not a sunscreen that has been drilled into dermatologist's heads to be effective (whereas they believe in the chemical sunscreens). My experience with derms, and I've seen a lot of them, is that they tend to go with what is conventional and what they've been told by major companies like Neutrogena and various pharmaceutical companies. I used to go by what my derm told me with little success until I began researching skincare and now use the purest products I can and my skin is WAY better. Yes, I do still use Tazorac but I've eliminated all products with all those filler ingredients that would aggravate my skin like none other.
Anyway, you do have to be more careful with mineral sunscreen b/c they aren't as water proof as the chemical based ones so you need to be conscientious about reapplying after swimming, sweating, etc.
I myself do not like to use chemical sunscreen but if I know I will be very active and/or swimming I will use them. My MMU has been very effective in protecting my skin from burning and even tanning. Of course I don't exactly lay out in the sun or anything but on a general daily basis it's just fine.
Also, if Marie Veronique has an "SPF" rating on their products then they most likely had it lab tested therefore making it an effective sunscreen. (Skin care companies cannot legally label their products with an SPF rating w/out having them tested and authenticated.) |

| Natural makeup products respect the environment and protect you and your family from the harmful chemicals used in conventional cosmetics. Skin care products those contains chemical and other harmful substance are very dangerous for skin. Skin care is important to all of us and has become a part of our daily routines. So, choosing the most effective skincare is most important because it's belongs to your physical appearances. |
