First you need to determine your SPF needs. There are options ranging from an SPF of 4 to 30. Consider how much time you spend in the sun, and whether or not you would like some color or none. Peter Thomas Roth has a fragrance free, paba free and non
comedogenic moisturizer and it is oil free. Unfortunately, it
is only 4oz. and does not go a long way. But how much is enough?
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, one ounce of
sunscreen, enough to fill a shot glass, is necessary to cover
the whole body. However, you may need more moisture. So, it may
be a personal preference. Ahava also produces an oil free
sunscreen for the body with an SPF of 4. They are a bit more
generous with 8oz. of product. Both of these products are found
at Sephora.com. If you’re looking for a less expensive approach, Neutrogena makes Healthy Defense SPF 45, which is oil free and also waterproof. You also get the added benefit of vitamins A, E & C. This can be found at any local drugstore.
Is there an all-over body moisturizer on the market that has a sunscreen but is also water based, i.e. no oil? If so, what is it called and where can I purchase it?
