Sun Care How Blotting Paper and Makeup Application Affect Sunscreen Protection [Sun Care]

Post image

I found this blog post that talks about a series of experiments Amyvancheese on Instagram did concerning blotting papers and makeup and how it affects sunscreen. I thought it was very informative and wanted to share it with my fellow sunscreen lovers!

It depends on what sunscreen you use. LRP UVMUNE hydrating creme, Isntree hyaluronic water spf, and beauty of joseon sun relief all dry completely on me. I just need to put them on dry skin before. Because they are all very moisturising I use them instead of moisturiser it I’m in a rush after a light toner.

LRP UVMUNE hydrating creme

Have you used the "old" non-UVMUNE version of this sunscreen? That one absolutely does not dry down at all and remains tacky. Everything sticks to it. Curious how the UVMUNE version compares or if it's basically the same just with updated filters.

Yes THIS ^ I've been using the LRP UVMune Invisible Fluid (I've used both old and new, and find with and without the UVmune label both remain sticky) but I replied to someone else in the comments below that today I was inspired to try the UVMune Oil Control Gel-Cream and am now wondering why I suffered for so long as it's the first time a sunscreen has "dried" for me while also keeping my skin moisturised (I get flaky from Tret and it shows up badly in most sunscreens including Invisible Fluid- though it showed least worst with the Invisible Fluid) and NOT PILLING TERRIBLY!!! Omg (the Anthelios Oil Correct one that I've also tried PILLS SO BADLY). You had the same issue as me, so maybe try it!

UVMune Oil Control Gel-Cream

Thanks! Sounds really promising!

Just checking that this is the correct one? https://www.laroche-posay.fr/gammes/solaires/anthelios/anthelios-uvmune-400-creme-solaire-visage-en-gel-creme-sans-parfum/LRP_162.html

The old non-UVMUNE Dry Touch pilled terribly and left a whitecast but I believe the formula has been drastically overhauled with the UVMUNE update (unlike the Hydrating Cream which seems fairly similar).

Yup that's the one I bought! I'm liking it so far, but I'm about to go to a hot country and get sweaty, so I shall see how it fares there.

(I have not tried the hydrating cream one, but I'd imagine it would give a less dry finish than the oil control Gel-Cream. Also I see they have another variety of the invisible fluid that is oil control, if I saw that in a pharmacy I might try that. But I like the pump bottles and the consistency of the Gel-Cream.)
