Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi everyone, I run for about an hour in the morning and have tried out lots of different sunscreens!On my face I currently use Oasis Sun SPF 40/PA ++++ (oasisbeauty.com/collections/oasis-sunscreens/products/oasis-sunscreen-spf-40-sport). I'm based in the U.S. and get this shipped in from New Zealand -- the reason I'm using it is that my main goal with sun protection is preventing signs of aging. I don't trust the UVA protection in American sunscreens -- avobenzone is too unstable, and zinc oxide doesn't protect against the FULL spectrum of UVA. I first learned this from Lab Muffin (https://labmuffin.com), but you can see it in sunscreen charts showing which filters protect against which wavelengths of UV light. The Oasis sunscreen has zinc oxide as well as chemical filters that protect against UVA that are not available in the U.S. It's pretty white casty, but I don't care whatsoever if I'm just exercising.And on my body I've been sticking to the Banana Boat Simply Protect Sport SPF 50 for a while. I like that it relies on zinc oxide instead of avobenzone for UVA protection, even though I wouldn't consider it robust enough for my face. On the rest of the body, it's OK. I've also tried American zinc oxide only sunscreens but I don't like how thick and sticky they are -- they can be hard both to apply and to wash off.I don't think it's necessary to exclusively choose sunscreens labeled "sport" for working out, at least in the U.S. I consider any American sunscreen that says water resistant for 80 minutes to serve that purpose. So I've used e.g. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc for running -- not marketed for sports, but it's water resistant. Does anyone know if there's a distinct advantage to the "sport" label?What have you guys tried out for outdoor exercise? And any other tips for avoiding the sun while working out? I always run with a lightweight running hat if the sun's out. I also try to go in the evenings after sunset, but during spring/summer that gets to be too late.
