In reply to silvia. Silvia, hello. Or course, you are. From my understanding, mineral sunscreens work by both absorption and reflecting/scattering. But they absorb way more UV light than they scatter.

Hello,
These new sunscreens sound great, but I am really confused as to this topic of mineral sunscreens being absorbed or not. I have found a study that states that Metal oxide sunscreens protect skin by absorption, not by reflection or scattering.
Am I allowed to post the link to the study? If not it can be found by searching “Metal oxide sunscreens protect skin by absorption, not by reflection or scattering”.

In reply to Maria. Maria, I'm not a big fan of powders because it is so easy to brush them off the skin. But if you apply a few layers, top up regularly and don't touch your skin often, then yes you should be decently protected.

I HAVE A QUESTION… I LIVE IN GREECE AND I AM BLONDE. I USE SUNSCREEN SPF 50 EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR, EVEN IF ITS RAINY…MY EVERY DAY RITUAL IS THE FOLLOWING: DAY CREAM, SUNSCREEN, MAKE UP AND POWDER. RECENTLY, BECAUSE I CANNOT REAPPLY SUNSCREEN OVER MAKE UP, I BOUGHT “JANE IREDALE POWDER ME,SPF 30” (ACTUALLY IT IS A POWDER…) AND I APPLY IT EVERY 3 HOURS. SO THE QUESTION IS : AM I PROTECTED??
