Your skin needs protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays, and this calls for the use of a broad spectrum sunscreen every day.

There are two main types of sunscreen: chemical and physical.

While chemical sunscreen works by absorbing UV rays, a physical sunblock or mineral sunscreen reflects the sun’s rays. Non-comedogenic physical sunscreens are the best option if you have a sensitive skin as chemical sunscreens undergo chemical degradation that can irritate sensitive skin with issues such as dryness or acne.

Always consult a skin expert and understand what works for your skin before using any product as UV damage can lead to many concerns such as fine lines, pigmentation and rashes.
