@crazyangel64 By natural, do you mean mineral based?

Elta MD 40. Love it. Or IT CC cream SPF 50. Work beautifully. No chemical SPFs.

Colorscience Sunforgettable powder brush-on sunscreen comes in second. The powder version lasts forever, so it turns out to be economical. Colorscience makes some good moisturizing sunscreens as well.

Mineral sunscreens have been shown to be not as effective as chemical sunscreens. I live at high elevation where there is about 15 to 20% more damaging UV than at sea level. I pay attention to what is good for me to wear and that doesn't include mineral sunscreens.

@crazyangel64    If you could see my carved up face right now after the removal of a basal cell carcinoma, you'd forget about 'natural' sunscreens and make a run for the real thing.  I've had one surgery and have to return to the cancer cancer next week to finish the skin graft portion.  Then a long period of healing and hopefully not too much scarring.

What sunscreen do you use? TIA

@Tennessee Vol 

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid SPF 70. I apply it right on top of my vitamin C serum which adds to combat damaging UV.
