The physical sunscreens that I use can give you a kind of a white glow

chalky looking appearance to the skin.

And so there are some very nice, um, cosmetically elegant sunscreens that you can use on the face.

So you won't have to have a compromised appearance.

So I think for people who are worried about looking like a white ghost when they're on the beach, you can buy one of these elegant sunscreens that are color tinted and very nice.

the physical sunscreens.

And I'm not going to recommend any particular brands, but you can go online and buy these.

And then the other question people have, what about sunscreen spray?

Health Chatter
Dermatologic Conditions

There are sunscreens that come in spray.

Health Chatter

The right way to use the spray is to put some light coating on your body and rub it into the skin, not just spray it all over because it's easy to miss a spot and people wind up getting sunburned in spots.

And the other thing to remember is to use it in the open because we don't want you to breathe in these particles, which actually does happen.

Health Chatter

So you want to use it in an open area.

So I myself am not a huge fan of the sprays, but if you're going to use it, you put a thin coating on and rub it thoroughly into the skin.

And the bottom line is, there's a saying, the best sunscreen is the one you'll use.

Health Chatter

So we can talk about brands and things, but...

Find one that you're comfortable with, that you like.

There are a lot of products out there.

I recommend the physical sunblocks and use it.

And if you use it, it will do the job.
