Guest guest Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 Hi, With regards to Eucerin Protective Moisture Lotion SPF 25 I have been using it for several years now and have to be careful with it (Octyl Methoxycinnamate is a chemical sunscreen and usually irritating to ceans). There are days when it does not irritate my skin, however used too many days in a row and flareups happen. In fact I now only very occasionally use it on my face (very easy to apply, so get tempted occassionally). I pretty much stick to the non-chemical Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide-only brands. Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Block SPF 30 and Aubrey Organics Titania Sunblock SPF 25 are what I use more readily now. They are a bit white and gloopy and hard to apply so what I do is mix with a little foundation, sometimes with corrective green foundation as well as beige. I then try to ameliorate the greasiness by waiting for the " mix " to absorb into my skin and then blot with oil-blotting tissues (those impregnated with powder are best) and THEN apply powder. I know, a large project but we are no strangers to designing weird, wonderful and lengthy regimes are we?! Probably Ti-silk and Zinco tinted sunscreens are easier but WAY more expensive and so I believe just as gloopy and greasy. OY. Good luck.
