Did you know that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime? We don’t like those odds!
How to decide between choosing a physical (mineral) or chemical sunscreen: We recommend using a physical sunscreen regardless of your skin type. Physical sunscreens protect your skin from the sun by deflecting or blocking the sun’s rays and the mineral ingredients are less likely to irritate sensitive and acne prone skin. Chemical sunscreen ingredients absorb and scatter the sun’s harmful rays, and chemical ingredients can irritate skin and eyes.
