[Sun Care] Under UV Camera: Mixing Sunscreens Experiment (ps: don't do this!)

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So I apologize in advanced. Today I'm doing the most sinful thing ever: mixing sunscreen with moisturizer. Don't hate me. I'm doing this just out of curiosity. This experiment is not perfect.**If you feel this post is not appropriate or harmful in anyway, (mods) please feel free to delete (or let me know, I'll delete it)\**Disclaimer: Don't mix your sunscreen with ANYTHING.I don't know until what extend the UV Camera from sunscreenr can do, so take this experiment with a big grain of salt. I was just playing around, and take this as non-serious non-science-y experiment.​Preparation:https://imgur.com/a/vQVIaqpI squeezed out unmeasured amount of La Roche Posay Shaka Fluid (PPD47) and L'oreal UV Perfect Matte & Fresh (PPD18.1) into 4 containers (they are my daily disposable contact lenses cases).I would then add aloe vera gel into 2 of the containers (used yellow post-it note as marker), the aloe gel is transparent so it's hard to see. I mixed the sunscreen and aloe with a toothpick. I then tried to spread it evenly (well, I tried) on the paper. Let it dry for 20 mins.PS: btw, don't buy that aloe brand, it has alcohol. I didn't know when I purchased it. I'm using it as after-treatment for at-home-IPL session so the alcohol doesn't really bother for me (not using it on my face)​Results:I don't know what to comment on how the results look like, so I'll just put the gallery here. I tried to take the pics with different angle with the UV lamp (for curing gel nail polish)Top: Mixed with Aloe gelBottom: pure sunscreenLa Roche Posay Shaka Fluid : https://imgur.com/a/SrbWa8QL'oreal UV Perfect Matte & Fresh: https://imgur.com/a/8A1JPIb​Result on my arm:Today I am wearing a sunscreen on my arm, that's why I did this experiment on paper. But as I was about to clean up, I realised I didn't actually apply sunscreen on my inner side of my arm, so I scooped out the leftover L'oreal mixed sunscreen and applied it on my arm.https://imgur.com/a/Wr7rOzq​Unrelated note:I just got my hands on Keep Cool Bamboo Sun Essence and Hyggee Relief Sun Moisturizer. I'm wearing the Hyggee one on my right face, Purito Centella Unscented on my left face and OMG the Hyggee stays decent (not shiny nor greasy looking) even after 5 hours now since my last reapplication (I reapplied 1x mid day, the sun has set as I'm typing this). So, oily skin folks, you may want to try this.I wear Purito Centella Unscented as moisturizer-with-SPF kind of thing and only wearing it indoor. But it's greasy for my oily skin (and makes my face sweats). Hence I was looking for alternative in the same category (moisturizing, indoor use). I do already have my go-to sunscreens (and water/sweat resistant) to wear when I'm going out.
