You have to test it at the counter to see if you like it. I would say sunscreens are not 100%. You need other forms of protection and to minimize sun exposure if your skin is predispose to pigmentation. Personally, I take Heliocare as a form of oral sun protection on top of applying sunscreen when the weather is crazy like now... Avene maybe a good bet but I’m not certain about the texture.

I'm not fair but I realized that I've started forming 'brown spots' and fine lines, and I'm sure it's because I wasn't using good sunscreens. I read good reviews on DiorSnow SPF 50/PA+++ and purchased it. I'm contemplating getting Avene High Protection SPF50 (I don't know the PA level) so i can use it whenever my skin is dry as DiorSnow tends to dry my skin a bit. Which do you think has better protection? If I'm using DiorSnow, does it affect the effectivity if I spray a bit of Evian / Avene Thermal water to settle it in and give a moist finish? This is a very informative article, LOL, although it made me worried if I'm using effective products.

Actives: 2.5% Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, 7.0% octyl methoxycinnanmate, 1.9% titanium dioxide. I ran a quick check and it does have a mix of chemical and physical blockers.

Well, I am hesitant as I'm not sure if the combination would be too much for the skin. I’m not exactly sure cos the zinc oxide diaper cream may contain other ingredients.
