Are you confused about which sunscreen is right for you? It’s not news to anyone that sunscreen protects our skin from burns, aging and helps to prevent skin cancer. However I find many of my patients avoid sunscreen because it irritates their eyes, skin, or leaves them with a greasy feeling and a funny white haze?

Help is here. What you need to know.

For your face, neck and decolletage – Buy the best. Mineral based sunscreens that have zinc and/or titanium will cause the least irritation. Even better, consider a SUPERSCREEN that contains sunscreen, antioxidants and infrared protection. This combination of ingredients will protect your skin from UV rays, collagen breakdown, the production of skin discoloration and keep your skin cool at the same time.  This not only provides protection but will actually help your skin heal itself. You can reserve these for your face or splurge and give yourself the best protection over all your skin.

For the beach, sporting activities, or simply everyday – The key message is sunscreens can be comfortable! Mineral sunscreens now come in brush on formulations making it easy to carry and to reapply.  And since it’s a mineral powder, you won’t get sand stuck to your skin at the beach, no sticky palms on the golf course and no sunscreen/sweat combination that drips in your eyes.
