We've all been told to put on that white, goopy muck called sunblock at least a few times in our lives. The people who tell you to put it on don't want to see you feel uncomfortable, they just want what's best for you. But for some people with naturally-oily skin, they think it's best to avoid sunscreen altogether. Well, my fellow-naturally-oily skin buddies, let me introduce you to mineral sunscreens and the 4 ways they help can your acne.
1. They are good for the skin
Most mineral sunscreens are made with zinc and titanium. Zinc and titanium are good for all skin types, but nourish the skin without introducing any oils.
2. They offer UVA/B protection
Compared to some lab-made sunscreens, zinc sunscreens offer deep skin protection against UVB (strong) and UVA (stronger) rays.
3. Uses natural ingredients
Another feature to mineral-based formulas is that they do not pose the same risk of skin cancer as as lab-made sunscreens because of added chemicals.
4. They're lighter
Say goodbye to the goop and avoid the stickiness! What's more, over time, the minerals will absorb, so you won't be dry either; It's a win-win!
So, instead of thinking about ditching the 'block next time, remember how mineral sunscreen can protect your skin too.
