☀️ Chemical vs. Mineral Sunscreen: What’s the Difference? ☀️

✅ Chemical Sunscreens
• Work like a sponge: absorb UV rays and convert them into heat.
• Lightweight, easy to blend, often clear on the skin.
• May cause irritation on sensitive skin.

✅ Mineral (Physical) Sunscreens
• Work like a shield: reflect UV rays away from your skin.
• Gentle, great for sensitive skin and children.
• Can sometimes leave a white cast (but newer formulas are improving!).

🌟 Which SPF Should You Use?
• SPF 30 or higher is recommended daily.
• SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays; SPF 50 blocks about 98%.
• Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors, and sooner after swimming or sweating.

👩‍⚕️ Bright Tip: The best sunscreen is the one you’ll use consistently—choose a formula that feels good on your skin!

💛 Protect your skin. Prevent premature aging. Lower your skin cancer risk.
