Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm trying to be more conscious of my skincare as of late since I am trying to fade hyperpigmentation from acne (as well as prevent sunburns, aging, etc.). Part of that was obviously incorporating a facial sunscreen that is effective in protecting against sun damage while still feeling nice on my skin and layering under make up well. In my search, I narrowed it down to 3 sunscreens I've collected over the past few months: Coola Face SPF 30 Cucumber Matte Finish, La Roche Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid, and Paula's Choice Hydralight Shine-Free Mineral Complex SPF 30 (all physical formulations).All of these are pretty good, but I'm really into the Coola one in particular. However, now I am reading that the % of sunscreen actives (3.2% titanium dioxide and 1.8% zinc oxide) in the Coola sunscreen might actually not be high enough. Also, I was looking for a physical sunscreen because I had read they are more effective, now reading more I find arguments in favour of chemical sunscreen actives (such as avobenzene) over physical. The list goes on. Navigating through the sheer amount of contradictory information regarding sunscreen here on this sub as well as elsewhere has been pretty frustrating.I guess overall what I'm asking is - what is the best way to evaluate the effectiveness of a sunscreen? I obviously want to ensure what I am slathering on my face every day is actually helping protect against the sun. I have been relying on looking for physical sunscreens with an SPF of at least 30. Is there anything else I should be looking for?
