Question 3

Does this protect against both uva and uvb ?

Accepted Answer

As a broad spectrum product - yes.From the Paula's Choice website:There is no such thing as a safe tan, whether it is from the sun or a tanning booth/bed.UVB rays from the sun cause sunburn.UVA rays from the sun are silent killers because you don't feel them but they are the primary cause of skin cancer, wrinkles, and a weakened immune system. (UVA rays even penetrate through clear glass windows that do not have a UV coating.)SPF is crucial, but it is only a measurement of sunburn (UVB) protection. Your skin needs to be protected from the sun's UVA rays as well. While some countries have adopted UVA ratings, it has not yet happened in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico, some European countries, and South America, among others. To be sure your sunscreen can protect you from the sun's UVA rays you have to check the active ingredients list to see if either zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, avobenzone (which may also be listed as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane), Mexoryl SX (ecamsule), or Tinosorb are there. Every Paula's Choice sunscreen is carefully formulated to provide critical UVA protection.Even if the SPF number on your sunscreen's label is an SPF 50 or greater, it still has limitations and can let approximately 3% of UV rays penetrate your skin. Sitting directly in the sun, even with sunscreen on, is a bad idea because no sunscreen provides 100% protection.

Question 4

How does this wear under liquid foundation?

Accepted Answer

It wears great. I put it on my face and neck then brush my teeth. By then it has all settled and you are good to go with your makeup.
