Okay, I'm super white and want to stay that way (I'm all Irish). My phobias are the sun and aging (wrinkles, etc). How can I best prevent sun damage and the aging thing?
1.) I just heard someone say that wearing makeup with spf in it cancels out the actual sunblock you have on underneath or that it just protects you with the makeup's lower spf. Is this true? is it best to just wear foundation w/o spf?
2.) I check labels on sunblocks for their active ingredients. I know some are better than others (Heard Avobenzone and titanium dioxide are best) and started noticing some have higher %-ages than others. What is the best sunblock that I can buy with the highest amounts and best ingredients?
3.) other than benzoyl peroxide and retinol-based things make you more sensitive to the sun?
4.) what is my best strategy for slowing the cosmetic aging process/preventing things? should i stick with lotions etc or save up and get procedures at a dr's office. I just heard of an "electrical facelift"

1) FALSE. It's just like layering sunblock.
2) SPF 50 is the highest you can get, but you have to apply it generously. Too many people apply a sunblock SPF 15 so thinly that it winds up being only about SPF 4
4) Why spend so much on procedures when you can prevent!
