We never tire of reiterating how important it is to use sunscreen daily (and always really) during the summer months. Now okay… Do you know the exact difference between chemical and physical sunscreens? While the former are much more common and used more often, there are many reasons to want to bet on the latter. These are some of the benefits! You want to give them the chance to take care of your skin the way it deserves for the rest of this summer.
A protective barrier: physical filters are not absorbed by the skin, but rather form a physical barrier on it that acts as a screen, protecting it from UVA/UVB and IR filters. It also protects against blue light, which causes an increase in free radicals in the skin.
General efficacy: The natural ingredients provided by the earth have been effective for many centuries, meeting all the needs of the skin in its purest form. Often the most basic and natural is the most endowed with benefits.
earth friendly: Natural products are not only good for the skin, but also for the environment. For example, not damaging coral reefs by being biodegradable.
Mineral filters: Both mineral filters and chemical filters protect against solar radiation, although mineral filters are more recommended for sensitive skin or for other skin types, such as those with a tendency to acne, as they do not clog pores.
Immediate action: Naturally derived sunscreens act immediately on the skin’s surface, so they begin to protect against the sun’s rays as soon as they are applied, without waiting.
Sunscreens with mineral filters have long been associated with much heavier and thicker formulas and textures that do not spread as easily on the skin. However, there are some very comfortable and pleasant physical mineral protectors that we show you here today. You’ll want to try them! Give them a chance…
