| Can anyone recommend one, I tried the Nutragena dry touch but that was even too oily for me and the powder ones too pricey for me. |

You could always make your own powder one! There's recipes on makingcosmetics.com and the raw ingredients (you really only need a few) are actually very cheap!
I'm seriously thinking of doing this. |

Here's an inexpensive powder sunscreen: Physicians Formula Healthy wear powder foundation SPF 50 (translucent light works great for my fair skin). I got it at a RiteAid in the US for about $16. I've only used it a couple of days because I'm afraid it might have made me break out (will try again another time), but it has zinc oxide 3%, titanium dioxide 21%, octinoxate 4%, and a cosmetically elegant finish.
I also tried the new Maybelline Instant Age rewind powder SPF 25, but I don't recommend it because it was way too hard to pick up enough with the brush to apply a meaningful layer for protection.
Josh's idea sounds great too! |

Has anyone seen the PF spf 50 powder in Canada? We always get products much later. I do like a lot of the PF products. I recently got the eye liner/serum with a rebate. |

Several of the mineral makeup companies sell a mineral sunscreen. Samples are usually available.

I do have this one and use it as a second layer of protection. I like a lot of Silk Naturals products.
I do like Josh's suggestion also on buying the raw ingredients yourself from places such as GOW, etc. |

i found the ingredient it not good
Physicians Formula Healthy wear powder foundation SPF 50 with zinc oxide 3%, titanium dioxide 21%, octinoxate 4%,
first the best UVA and UVB protection is zinc oxide; however this PF only have 3% which is not enough. and Octinoxate is a chemical UV block, so it has a change of clog your pore.
if you are looking for something really won't clog your pore, then try 100% mineral powder. Priori has mineral foundation with high % of zinc oxide only and now ESP has 25% off on those products !! |

You can try mineral makeup. Look for TD as the first ingredient though it can clog pores. I dont find that issue as long as you pat the mineral powder in with a flocked sponge or latex sponge. Buffing only causes irritation and pushes the minerals in to clog pores.
Jlynne is pretty good for controlling oily skin and Buffd as well in the Original formula. |

I'm confused. Do both Titanium Dioxide and chemical SPF ingredients clog pores? What doesn't then?
I too am looking for a high SPF powder and I have been considering the Physician's Formula Healthy Wear Powder - it seems to have great reviews and people even say it doesn't cause them to break out... |

| Fitgineer you would need to use a large amount of a powder sunscreen to get the full SPF, more than it is possible to get to adhere to your skin AFAIK. |

Thank you for your reply.
What if I already use a 30SPF lotion under the powder? Wouldn't it offer some sort of extra protection?... |
