Chemical vs. Mineral Sunscreen — Which One Is Better for You? | |
Choosing the right sunscreen is critical for your skin’s protection against harmful UV rays, but the variety of products can be overwhelming. The main two types, chemical and mineral sunscreens, differ primarily in the ingredients used, as well as how they work on your skin. Knowing the distinctions can help you choose a formula that best suits your lifestyle and skin type. What is chemical sunscreen? Chemical sunscreens are comprised of active ingredients such as avobenzone, oxybenzone, and octinoxate, which absorb UV rays and convert it into heat, which is released from the skin. Chemical formulations are lightweight, easy to apply, and generally completely invisible, which makes them a great option for daily wear under your regular makeup. However, they can irritate some sensitive skin types and occasionally clog pores. And now, discussions have raised concerns about coral reef health and absorption of ingredients into the bloodstream, which raises the question, is Sun Bum sunscreen safe? This popular brand has mineral and chemical options. What Is Mineral Sunscreen? Mineral sunscreens, also known as physical sunscreens, utilize natural minerals like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which create a barrier on the skin's outer surface. Instead of absorbing UV rays, the barrier reflects and scatters them. These sunscreens are usually recommended for sensitive or acne-prone skin because they are less likely to irritate the skin. They also start protecting skin immediately, and they are often categorized as reef-safe products, which appeal to conscientious consumers. The only downside of mineral sunscreens is that they may leave a whitish cast on the skin, particularly on darker skin tones. However, many formulations may lessen the whiteness. Which One Is the Right Choice for You? The answer for which sunscreen is right for you depends upon your skin type, activity level, and your preferences. If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, mineral sunscreens are milder and more effective. If you plan to wear makeup daily, chemical sunscreens blends easily underneath makeup and feel more weightless. If you plan to spend long amounts of time in outdoor activities and swimming, look for a broad-spectrum, water-resistant formula that will fulfill your needs. Regardless, both types of sunscreens will provide solid UV protection when used as directed. It’s important to remember that the key to a sunscreen being effective you have to apply more than you think you need and reapply every two hours - because regardless of which sunscreen to use, consistency is best for your skin.  | |
