Foundation and Sunscreen

I have a question about sunscreen and foundation makeup.  I have used liquid foundation for years without any problems until now.  I apply an SPF 30 sunscreen to my face before I apply any makeup.  Right after I apply the liquid foundation though, my eyes start to get red and irritated, my nose begins to run and I get the chills, all allergic reactions to the combination of the foundation and sunscreen. I am thinking it is the combination of chemicals, they are too strong for me now and my body is not able to handle that.  I am thinking of changing my foundation to a powder foundation, however my question Is, will I still be able to apply my sunscreen without the powder foundation caking up?  I am considering Bare Minerals powder foundation.  I know it already has an SPF 15 in it but that is not going to be enough coverage for me, my regular sunscreen is an SPF 30.  I use Neutragena Dry To Touch sunscreen.  I do know that Bare Minerals also sells a powder sunscreen of SPF 30 but I am not sure if that is going to really cover my entire face.  I need to have my face well covered, I am outdoors quiet a bit.

I know you are down south of me (I am near Pasadena CA) and I have friends in your area that are having allergies they thought they got rid of years ago flare up because of the amount of rain we have had and the huge  pollen release that has taken place.  It could be that as well as the make-up combo.  My allergies are over the top this year as well, so I know the itchy eyes thing and some skin rash. 

Bare Minerals is a good brand that has not given me any problems in any sunscreen strength.  If you use products by the same manufacturer you have less chance of a bad interaction is what I have found.

I belong to Kaiser Health Plan and they have recently added an "esthetics" make-up service to many of their Dermatology Clinics and they have a product called Glo Minerals that I use now over one of their moisturizers that has an SPF30 that would be enough by itself for me. (Nordic blond skin)  It is only a couple of dollars more than what I spend at ULTA or Sephora, but I let them worry about their being bad reactions between each other.

It certainly sounds like a reaction to the combination you are using.  Recognizing that good sunscreen coverage is important I use Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup.  It's a broad spectrum SPF20 makeup that never irritates my skin.

I have also found a moisturiser that is SPF30 which works with foundation without problem. I find sunscreen too sticky or greasy and problematic so only ever tend to use it on my hands, and even then mixed with hand cream. The sunscreen I use is formulated for children with their more sensitive skin and has very high SPF. That is another option that may work.

Thank you for your replies ladies.  I had no idea Neutragena made makeup.  May look into that as well.  I do know that the Mary Kay line does carry a moisturizer that has sunscreen built into it, may consider that as well.  Vicky, would I have to belong to Kaiser in order to purchase the Glo Minerals foundation you speak of?

I don't know.

I use a foundation primer that is SPF 15. But I live in Virginia so the sun does not get as bad as southern California. Plus I do not stay out too terribly long.

I've seen Neutrogena moisturizer with SPF 30, but the bottle is about half the size of the moisturizer I use with SPF 15.

      Pity that we can't just respect each other and get along.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
