Chemical Sunscreen

Does anyone still continue with your chemical sunscreen when u are pregnant? Or you've change it to physical/mineral sunscreen? Any recommendations for good mineral sunscreens?

I switched to mineral/ physical sunscreen. I used Neutrogena sheer zinc for my body but I have to say it's quite hard to apply. Sometimes I do use moisturiser before sunscreen for easier application. For face I'm using Shiseido's Anessa. Both can be found in pharmacies like Watsons. https://www.drrachelho.com/blog/pregnancy-skincare-guide-avoid-unsafe/

Hi, I referred to Dr Rachel's blogspot. I primarily looked for Sunscreen with zinc oxide and or titanium oxide as they are physical sunscreens instead of chemical Sunscreen. You can look at this post for a compilation of Asian sunscreens that don't have chemical sunscreens in them. http://bendingbackwards.blogspot.com/2019/07/pregnant-nursing-safe-sunscreens.html?m=1

I'm still using a chemical sunscreen because physical sunscreen just doesn't suit me. Definitely best to use physical sunscreen during pregnancy.

I used Annesa before now I'm switching to Annesa UV sunscreen mild milk which is suitable for baby as well (they said), the pink bottle

I switched to mineral sunscreen. I’m using Paula’s Choice Resist Super Light Daily Wrinkle Defense. Super love it.

Am using CLEANANCE SUNSCREEN SPF 50 , a chemical sunscreen. Checked that it’s safe for pregnancy.

I changed to the neutrogena’s mineral sunscreen

I've been using the biora uv sunscreen even during my pregnancy
