![]() ![]() Chemical sunscreens block the UVA and UVB rays with chemicals while mineral sunscreens block the sun’s rays with minerals such as zinc oxide. There are two different kinds of sunscreens, physical sunscreens, and chemical sunscreens. I looked for products that are good for everyday use, products that could be used in lieu of daily moisturizer, as well as those with broad-spectrum coverage for days spent doing outdoor activities with high UV exposure, like beach days or at an amusement park. I’ve taken a look at the active ingredients, the type of sunscreen, as well as how the sunscreen performs with makeup and the average skincare routine. Since I wear sunscreen daily (with the exception of days I truly don’t plan to go outside/it’s raining), I’ve tried a ton of different sunscreens, tinted and un-tinted, to find the best sunscreen for all skin types, including those of you with sensitive skin and acne-prone skin. While I tend to fall with the former belief that we should all be wearing SPF, especially on our faces daily, I also use a prescription retinoid that requires that you wear SPF to protect your skin. Another camp believes ingredients like Zinc and Titanium Dioxide are toxic and shouldn’t be applied to your skin. Sunscreens help reduce free radicals that damage the skin caused by sun exposure. Sunscreen is a debated topic in the skincare world, top dermatologists recommend we use SPF to prevent premature aging, wrinkles, and dark spots. ![]()
