Here's what I've started layering 1) UV Naturals, the adult one and 2) Lavera spf 20, the sensitive/face one.
The UV Naturals is the zinc oxide one but so oily on it's own I can't even put powder or MMU over it. The Lavera (titanium dioxide) is freakishly mattifying. I could never use it alone. I can't even spread it fast enough, it's so dry. But ON TOP the other it's perfect. Sort if like a primer. My skin is matte and I can go on to do whatever I want. Also I feel like I'm getting both physical sunscreens out of this. I'm thinking layering physical ones is definitely safer than trying that with chemical SS.
Does anyone know something about this or have an opinion?
Thanks, Michele |

I don't think it hurts to layer them. But if you use MMU, you're getting both anyway, so why not just use the matte sunscreen alone? You're still getting a double dose of protection.
Oh, you said the Lavera is too dry. Do you apply a regular moisturizer under your sunscreens? I would suggest putting on a regulra moisturizer, then the sunscreen. Maybe it will go on smoother. |

Even with the moisturizer under, I can't spread it. Maybe my skin is just that dry. But this stuff (Lavera) dries faster than anything I've seen before. Plus, the UV Naturals has really nice ingredients, like grapeseed oil, that feel great on. The texture is actually very nice and it feels soothing. It's just got a lot of oils and might not be for someone with oily skin.
