I'm dealing with mild acne and my dermatologist put me on a sebamed facewash and nioret nanogel for nighttime use. He also recommended the ansolar gel cream sunscreen, but it's quite pricey. I'm wondering if there's a more affordable sunscreen option that will work well with the nioret nanogel I'm using. Could you please advise?

For a cheaper alternative to Ansolar Gel Cream, consider:

  1. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry-Touch Sunscreen ( 500)
  2. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Sunscreen Milk ( 1,200)
  3. Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ ( 800)

When choosing a sunscreen to use with Nioret Nanogel:

  1. Opt for a non-comedogenic (oil-free) sunscreen.
  2. Select a physical sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) for gentle, effective protection.
  3. Ensure the sunscreen is fragrance-free to minimize irritation.

Consult your dermatologist before making any changes to your skincare routine.

I've been noticing that whenever I sweat, it ends up smelling really bad, almost like urine. It's really weird because it only happens when I'm stressed or feeling scared. Im struggling to give my all at work because of it and I'm really worried. What can I do about this?

bad smell sweat like urine during stress requires a multi-faceted approach. Here's a comprehensive plan: Medical Treatment 1. Antiperspirants: Use antiperspirants containing aluminum salts (e.g., aluminum chloride) to reduce sweat. 2. Antibacterial soaps: Use antibacterial soaps to reduce bacteria that contribute to body odor. 3. Deodorants: Apply deodorants containing fragrances or antimicrobial agents to help mask or reduce odor. Lifestyle Changes 1. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help your body regulate its temperature and sweat more efficiently. 2. Diet: Avoid foods that can make sweat smell worse, such as garlic, onions, or spicy foods. 3. Exercise: Regular exercise can help reduce stress and anxiety, but shower or bathe as soon as possible after exercising. 4. Clothing: Wear breathable, natural-fiber clothing to help keep you cool and dry. 5. Stress management: Engage in stress-reducing activities, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises
