Dermatologists Want You to Switch to These 5 Physical Sunscreens
Here comes the sun… and you better get ready for it.
It’s emblazoned in our minds that sunscreen is an absolute must. It's the ultimate anti-aging prevention, and if you're not using it yet, you should get on it now. Topping off all your skincare with a sheer layer of sunscreen shouldn't be that hard, given the benefits of this small extra step... Ah, if only life were that simple.
Choosing the right sunscreen can be rather time consuming, but once you’ve found the right bottle, that speaks to your needs, you’re set for a long time to come. So, how does one go about the search? Well, for starters, understand physical sunscreen.
Physical sunscreen formulas act as a barrier on the skin and filters out UV rays (they’re also known as sunblocks), unlike chemical sunscreens which absorb and scatter the rays. The main difference is that physical sunscreens stay on top of the skin and deflect the rays so they bounce off the skin.
In the game of UV protection, physical sunscreen wins it all. It fights against both UVA and UVB rays, and the effects are immediate. It’s even suitable for the most sensitive skin (yep, even for fellow rosacea sufferers like myself), it lasts longe, and is made without hormone-disrupting chemicals (on the skin and on the shelf)… Shall I go on?
Consider your research done. As an avid physical sunscreen advocate, here are my top choices for the face and body.
