Yes, if you apply a lot, chances are, you need to cleanse twice or more because zinc oxide tends to stay on the top of our skin to provide physical protection. I suggest the next time you might want to try removing with an oil cleanser or makeup remover first, then cleanse. That way, you won’t have to scrub your face too hard.

I’ve used Marie Veronique Creme de Jour Tinted several times. It seems to protect from the sun but has a couple of drawbacks. I reapply sunscreen while hiking and will not take a heavy glass bottle hiking (breakage and weight). It’s also very hard to remove — I have to scrub my face at least a couple of times before using my usual facial cleanser. Is this typical for zinc oxide based sunscreens?

Even if you’re indoors, there will be exposure to UV rays cos of the windows, etc so better to wear a moisturizer with SPF15.

Thanks Sesame! Hmm..so I guess if I’m indoors I don’t need to re-aply a sunblock, right?
Correctly if i’m wrong (sitll learning about sun protection). The main reason for reapplying sunblock/sunscreen when one is outdoors on a sunny day is because the UVB rays break down the ingredients such zinc oxide, titanium, etc.
