Protecting our skin from harmful UV rays is essential for maintaining healthy and youthful-looking skin. When it comes to sun protection, there are two main types of sunscreens available: chemical and mineral. While both aim to shield the skin from the sun's damaging rays, they work in distinct ways. In this article, we will delve into the key differences between chemical and mineral SPF and help you make an informed choice when selecting the right sunscreen for your needs.
Chemical sunscreens are formulated with organic compounds that absorb UV rays. These compounds include oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, and homosalate, among others. When applied to the skin, these chemicals penetrate the upper layers and undergo a chemical reaction that converts UV rays into heat, which is then released from the body..
Mineral sunscreens, also known as physical sunscreens, contain active mineral ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These minerals work by sitting on top of the skin, creating a physical barrier that reflects and scatters UV rays away from the skin's surface.
Both chemical and mineral sunscreens offer effective protection against harmful UV rays, but they work in different ways. Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays, while mineral sunscreens physically reflect them. The choice between the two depends on factors such as skin sensitivity, application preference, and environmental concerns. Remember, regardless of the type of sunscreen you choose, it is crucial to apply an adequate amount and reapply regularly to maintain optimal protection - even wearing suncream when you're in makeup. Consult with a skincare professional, like those at Cadogan Clinic, to determine the most suitable sunscreen for your unique needs and enjoy the sun responsibly while keeping your skin healthy and protected.
