A friend's question about SPF

I was on MySpace yesterday discussing moisturizers and sunscreen with a friend (I know, it's so freakin' exciting in my world). And he told me he uses an inexpensive moisturizer with SPF 15 or something like that. To keep it from clogging his sensitive pores, he dilutes it with a little aloe vera gel.

My first thought was uh-oh. But does it really matter? So I hollered at Gabe Horn, an in-the-know skin expert.

Here's his answer:

"It would dilute it a bit, but not much. Depending on the SPF number (15, 20, etc), he would probably want to reapply a little more frequently. It would be the alcohol in the aloe that would cause an issue, not just straight aloe."

Had to share. Peace, love and shrunken pores ... xoxo

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
