Wassup class! Welcome back to SKINCARE 101! 📚✏️ Today, we’ll be going through a quick overview of what Sunscreens are, and the two common types! Sunscreens (commonly called SPFs as well) are products that help to protect the skin from the Sun’s UV rays. As cases of skin cancer have been linked to overexposure to these rays, these SPF products help to reduce the likeliness of such and also assist with premature signs of aging. The common types of sunscreens you’ll typically see include Chemical and Mineral Sunscreens. Chemical Sunscreens use organic/chemical filters to protect the skin and feel more moisturizer-like. Mineral Sunscreens contain ingredients like Titanium Oxide and Zinc Oxide and are generally recommended for those with sensitive skin. They typically leave a cast and tint on the skin more often than Chemical Sunscreens. Do you prefer mineral or chemical sunscreens? I personally gravitate towards chemical sunscreens more often. I know a lot of folks have opinions about either option, but at the end of the day, I believe that any protection is better than none. So let’s encourage folks to at least use whatever they’re comfortable with. 🙌🏽 #skincare #skincare101 #sunscreen #spf #skincarebasics #skincaretips #wearyoursunscreen #wearyourspf #skincareforbeginners
