you can mix them if you want to.
if it’s leaving a film on your skin, you should try a different brand.
Estee Lauder has a great spf 30 sun protection lotion. I love it! it’s $18.00 but it last forever.
you only need a tiny drop.

Yes you can mix it. I use Ocean Potion for faces if I know I will be in the sun. It has a spf of 30 but also contains retinol. I have never noticed a white film. The Ocean Potion is reasonably priced and smells nice too. I have great looking skin and do not have a problem using this brand even tho it is cheaper than others. The regular moisturizer I use has vitamin A and retinol. I do not mix the two, just one at a time.

You could mix, but do small batches, like just a little in your hand to start. Of course this will dilute the product and how will you re-apply if you need to do so? ie, will you apply more moisturiser with the sunscreen again?

I dont think you need to shell out heaps of buck to get decent stuff. As long as it doesnt cause your skin to react badly…. One of the problems with a 30+ is that is will almost always leave your face with the white sheen.

I use a Jurlique facial 30+ and it hardly has any white residue and is probably one of the more natural products available!

I don’t see why you couldn’t mix them, but to be on the safe side, try it with small amounts first, rather than committing whole bottles, tubes, or jars of either. Measure out maybe a teaspoon of each, mix thoroughly in a bathroom cup, and apply, the see how it goes.

Good luck.

Maryn, who first applies moisturizer with no SPF, then sunscreen
