⁉️HOW TO CHOOSE A SAFE SUNSCREEN

‼️If you ignore this factor, your sunscreen could actually harm your skin ⚠️

Of course, all the factors are important:

- SPF (Sun Protection Factor): Indicates protection level against UVB rays that cause burns. Use at least SPF 30 for daily protection and SPF 50 or higher for extended sun exposure.

- UVA Protection: Crucial for preventing photoaging. Look for “broad spectrum” on the label to ensure protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

- Skin Type

- Texture and Finish

- Ingredients:

- Avoid parabens, sulfates, and alcohol if you have sensitive skin.

- For acne-prone skin, choose non-comedogenic products.

- Moisturizing ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and oils improve comfort.

- Water and Sweat Resistance:

- For swimming or outdoor sports, choose water-resistant sunscreens. Reapply every 40–80 minutes.

🔆⚠️But! The most important factor is the Type of Filters (Physical or Chemical):

- Physical Filters: They create a barrier on the skin’s surface, reflecting UV rays. They are the safest but can’t be layered with makeup and may leave a white cast.

- Chemical Filters: Absorb UV rays and convert them into heat energy. These are often lighter in texture but can sometimes cause irritation or even lead to skin cancer.

❣️BTW, these sunscreen Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA++++ and Summer Fridays include Uvinul A Plus (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate) and Uvinul T 150 (Ethylhexyl Triazone) filters. These filters are in the orange safety zone:

While they have lower skin penetration compared to other chemical filters, there is still some level of absorption. They are safe for the environment, relatively stable, and do not degrade quickly under sunlight. However, they are synthetic chemical filters, which differentiates them from mineral or physical filters like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, which are typically in the green zone.
