Pink, that’s only partly true. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide can degrade avobenzone, making it less effective. But that just means that you need to reapply the sunscreen more often. Or better yet, avoid using this combination. Hope this helps. 🙂

So many sources and so many different opinions, it’s really hard to get some conclusion 🙁

Janessa, if you’re already applying sunscreen regularly and wearing protective clothing, I don’t think there’s anything more you can do unfortunately. If you still burn with the sunscreen you’re using, maybe you can try another one. The only other thing I can think of is to stay in the shade, but I know that’s not always possible.

Paris, that’s so true. Like you, I always use sunscreen too, so I don’t really mind whether the other skincare products I use contain SPF or not. I think that, while layering products may slightly increase your coverage (ie less chance to miss a spot), if you’re careful with application that shouldn’t be a problem anyway.
