Protect your skin in the sun: Choose the right sunscreen and take the right precautions!

At last, summer is here, and we can look forward to long days in the sun and at the beach. But before you head out, there’s one important thing to think about: you need to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

But how do you choose the right sunscreen?

There are two main types of sunscreen: mineral-based and chemical filter-based. Mineral-based sunscreen works by creating a physical barrier on the skin, reflecting UV rays away from the skin. It’s a good choice if you have sensitive skin, as it is less likely to cause skin reactions than chemical filter-based sunscreen. In addition, mineral-based sunscreen is stable in the sun and protects against both UVA and UVB rays. On the other hand, chemical filter-based sunscreen works by containing ingredients that absorb UV rays and convert them into heat, which is then released from the skin.

But what about white streaks on the skin?

Yes, it’s true that mineral-based sunscreen can leave white streaks on the skin if it isn’t properly blended in. But don’t worry — our "A Hint of Tint" facial sunscreen contains tinted minerals that give the skin a beautiful glow and an even sunscreen application. It’s also a combination product that works as a moisturizer, a lightly covering tinted day cream, and an SPF 30 facial sunscreen all in one. The result of this sunscreen is glowing, beautiful skin with a more even skin tone.

So what should you choose?

It depends on your skin type and preferences. If you have sensitive skin, mineral-based sunscreen may be best for you. The most important thing is to choose a sunscreen with a high SPF and use it regularly. Our facial sunscreen is specially designed to provide light coverage for a natural and even skin tone. This mineral-based sunscreen with SPF 30 combines skincare and protection in one, and its silky texture makes it easy to apply and ideal for daily use, as it protects against the sun’s harmful rays while also caring for the skin. Also note that the sunscreen is not water-resistant and therefore not suitable for beach use. 

But remember, sunscreen isn’t the only way to protect your skin! You can also take other precautions, such as avoiding the sun during the most intense hours of the day, wearing protective clothing and sunglasses, and seeking shade when possible. But no matter what, don’t forget to enjoy the summer and everything it has to offer! Take care of your skin and choose the best sunscreen for you.
