I have mid-dark (asian) skin and find that most sunscreens and sunblocks give my face a weird purplish ashy cast. I've heard that this is because of the titanium dioxide that many formulations use - can you suggest a good product that doesn't contain it? Also, am I right in thinking that sunscreen goes on after moisturiser but before primer/foundation? Thanks!

Answer from Rebecca Howard Guru
You're spot on with the titanium dioxide. I'd recommend you try the Organic Pharmacy range as their products specifically promise a non-whitening finish. They use Zinc Clear, offering comprehensive UVA AND UVB film of protection just without the chalky residu. Have a look at www.theorganicpharmacy.com. I'd try the Cellular Protection SPF 25 for everyday use - it's £30 but you get a good old 100ml tube for that.
And yes you've got the order right, unless you are on holiday when I'd recommend you forgo the moisturiser and the make-up and just constantly reapply a good covering of your SPF.
