COOLA SUNSCREEN TARGET SKIN

The minerals sit on top of your skin and reflect UV rays so they don’t reach you (think: a bunch of tiny mirrors reflecting the light). Mineral sunscreen, as opposed to chemical sunscreen, is exactly what it sounds like: sunscreen that uses minerals (most commonly zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) to protect from the sun. Why should you chose mineral-based sunscreen? But unfortunately, all sunscreens are not created equal.Ī recent study done by the FDA found that the active ingredients in many of the sunscreens you might be using (and using on a regular basis if you’re doing it right) can be absorbed into the blood at levels that exceed what the FDA deems “safe.” While the FDA is currently undertaking new SPF regulations (the future is promising!), many of our current sunscreen options can be laced with harmful chemicals. We depend on our trusty SPF to protect our skin and our health from harmful sun rays. Even if you’re one of the lucky ones who do not burn like a literal lobster after 25 minutes outside (guilty!), sun exposure can cause wrinkles and premature aging, but most importantly, skin cancer. You already know that sunscreen is our top beauty secret and pool-side accessory (sun protection is chic, ladies!).
