Tinted moisturiser

So I have been taking a closer look at my TM, mainly taking a closer look at the active ingredients. I have been using Lancome`s Hydrazen TM, and the ingredients say “”May contain Titanium dioxide”” without even listing a %. Do you think I`m getting enough sun protection?

lol. thats fine pandr. thought havent seen u around for awhile. hope ur are better now with your flu

So Sorry Vivalicious I didn`t post a reply. I am still getting used to the forums, also I was ill with the flu at about that time, so once again sorry for the non-reply. I don`t actually know the price as my sister in law is a nutrimetics fanatic and she bought it for me for my birthday. I am about due for another one so I will make subtle enquiries.

hi gemo.

their not actually an australian company. they are from france but only the TMs are made here in Australia. They also only get sold here because they are made specifically for Australian sun.
HTH

Thanks for the Sothys info Allyhump! I had no idea the company were Australian or that they made TMs. I`d be really interested in trying some samples if you know where we can get some?

It`s great to see another Aussie SPF 30 line. I just love TMs! Always on the lookout for a new one to shake up the morning routine a little. If it`s possible to be excited about a TM… lol.

Im really interested in trying the Hissyfit saving face as it has a higher spf and also coz theres more colours to choose from. They said on their website that they use fragrance in their prouducts so Im a little worried that my skin might get a bit irrated to that. Will really have to try and slather it on and see how it goes.

id also like to mention that we had out Sothys product training today and Sothys make a
Tinted SPFf30 for Dehydrated skin
Tinted SPF30 for Delicate skin
Oil free tinted SPF30 for all skin types
Sunshield gel SPF30 for face and body.
I have tried the all skin types one and it is quite nice but it only comes on the one colour which is a light tint compared to IZ medium…i only wish there were more colour options but i would recommend this for lighter complexions although the tint is made so that it blends with EVERY skin tone, I personally prefer more colour.

Interesting Factor about Sothys sunscreens are that they are manufactured in Australia and theyve also been formulated specifically to suit the harsh sun rays we have here.

Just thought Id share what we learnt today =)

Thanks gemo 🙂

Mmmkay, so I used the Cancer Council one over the weekend and it has worked out well. As I said, it`s much thicker than most TMs, but nowhere near as thick as the IZ. The colour is ideal for me in summer and my EDM went over it really nicely to give a bit of a glow. I found it to be very hydrating, but not greasy, which is surprising for a sunscreen. I just had to double check I`d blended it well around the edges. Patting it on worked well.

If you like IZ, you`ll love this one I think. Plus proceeds go to the Cancer Council and it`s nano-free.

The texture of the Cancer Council one was a bit thicker than the Face of Australia one that I`ve since gone back to (although I haven`t checked it in terms of nanoparticles oops!), but it was a little dark on me and therefore streaky so it took time to apply it well. I`m going to give it another shot when I`m not in such a rush in the mornings lol. But hold off on buying it because if it doesn`t work out for me I`ll have a perfectly good test-tube up for grabs. Will let you know.

Good info gemo, I read a similar article on the net last year, and it actually listed all the companies that don`t use them, the ones that do use them and the biggest portion was companies that would not say either way, suss or what, I will stick with the ones that do not use them if I can help it, IZ is simply the best for me atm, and I can`t find anything close to it at this stage 🙂
