I live in Arizona where the sun seems to always be shining. I want to do what I can to protect my skin from the UV rays, but everytime I where sunscreen I break out really bad. I have super oily skin and always break out if I put something on it that it doesn’t agree with. Any suggestions on the best sunscreen for me? Thanks!

What sunscreen is best for oily acne prone skin?
Friday, February 26th, 2010What is the best sunscreen to use on a tattoo?
Saturday, February 13th, 2010I am taking a vacation in which I want to wear tank tops. This exposes tattoos that are not normally exposed to the sun. They are in great shape and I would like to know which sunscreen I should use that would provide the best protection for these tattoos against the sun, that will protect from the sun yet not harm the tattoo’s color in any way.
How important is it to apply sunscreen 10 or 15 minutes ahead of time?
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I know you’re supposed to give the sunscreen time to absorb or whatever, but how much does it reduce the effectiveness of sunscreen to apply it immediately before being in the sun?
What will the daily use of a good sunscreen do to my skin tone?
Sunday, February 7th, 2010My parents want me to use sunscreen everyday because they say that the sun harms your skin and causes cancer.I’m a 15 year old guy and I’m not really into using creams(sunscreen) in my skin but they want me to use it.I’m afraid that my skin will get lighter or my tan will fade because of me using the sunscreen.
What kind of sunscreen should I use on my cats ears?
Saturday, February 6th, 2010My kitten has one white ear and the vet said white ears are prone to cancerous tumors when exposed to the sun. He recommended using a sunscreen. He also said indoor cats are especially proned because they lay in the window siles in the cool of the house in summer. Outside cats usually keep in the shade.
I’m wondering if there is a sunscreen for cats that work better than people sunscreen. Does anyone know?
Also, has anyone had a white cat that has developed cancer tumors and if so, what can be done?
What sunscreen offers the most protection near the equator?
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010I am going backpacking in Costa Rica in a couple of weeks. I am extremely fair and burn in the sun we have here in Wisconsin! This will be my first exposure to the sun after a long winter, and I want to MAKE SURE I am super protected so I don’t burn. I know I need to get a high SPF, but I’m wondering if anyone out there can recommend a great sunscreen brand that will work very well, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Will the skin return to its normal color? What can i do to help the process?
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010I burned my face about 20% of it ,about a year and 6 months ago. It was classified as a second degree burn and took about 12 days to heal. The skin after all this time (of not being in the sun)is still somewhat reddish, you can tell the difference between the normal skin and the skin that was burned. Will the skin return to its normal color? or will it just fade but still be reddish. Anything i can do to help it return.
How soon is it safe to apply sunscreen to a new tattoo?
Monday, January 18th, 2010I have had my tattoo for a week, and it is doing beautifully! I have diligently followed the aftercare instructions my artist provided. My question is pertaining the use of sunscreen. The tattoo has peeled and is now sort of grainy/dry, but very clean, to look at. I have NO plans to be in the sun directly with it (I do not lay out or roam the beach, etc.), but I would like to know if sunscreen over the tattoo is appropriate yet for times when I may *indirectly* be exposed to the sun. These might include gardening, being in the yard, playing with dogs, going for a walk, etc. The tattoo is on my inner wrist, so it’s not "showing" all the time.
At this point, would a sunscreen be appropriate, or an irritant?
I purchased a Neutrogena SPF 30 stick of sunscreen that looks like a smaller version of a deodorant stick 
, and I’m not sure if the ingredients would harm or fade, or irritate my freshly inked tattoo. Could anyone with experience advise on this, please? Thanks so much!

How can i get lighter skin without damaging my skin?
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009I am mixed and i really hate my skin. Especially the skin on my neck/throat and back. So i wondered how i could change it without spending a fortune and damaging my skin severly. I am not planning on being chalk white or having fair skin. A Dark Olive Skin Tone would be fine and still seem natural. I live in Europe and it’s not to sunny here but when it is i usually use sunblocker and avoid going into the sun. I want to be lighter because i like the way it looks. I do think that other people are pretty with dark skin but not me. I do NOT want to lighten my skin because someone has told me or because of celebirties (i actually do have the skin color most black celebirties WANT. It kinda like Rhianna- maybe a little lighter). My mum thinks i have oh so pretty skin but i think it’s to dark. I heard that they are diets and stuff????
