Why Sunscreen is Your Skin’s BFF

Why Sunscreen is Your Skin’s BFF

Hey Kainees! Let’s clear this up once and for all—sunscreen isn’t just for beach days or tropical getaways. You might not see it, but UV rays are always on the clock—even on cloudy days. Here’s what they’re up to:

  • UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and speed up signs of aging (hello, wrinkles).
  • UVB rays target the skin’s surface, causing sunburn and cellular damage.
  • Both contribute to skin cancer risk and weaken your skin barrier.

Wearing SPF daily means smoother skin, fewer wrinkles, and less irritation. Trust us—your skin will thank you later.

Types of Sunscreens

Chemical Sunscreen

  • How it works: Absorbs UV rays and converts them into heat, which is then released from the skin.
  • Common ingredients: Avobenzone, Octinoxate, Oxybenzone, Homosalate
  • Feels like: Lightweight and fast-absorbing.
  • Best for: Most skin types, especially if you want a lightweight, invisible finish. Works great under makeup!

Physical (aka Mineral) Sunscreen

  • How it works: Sits on top of the skin and reflects UV rays like a mirror.
  • Common ingredients: Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide
  • Feels like: Can be thicker and may leave a white cast, depending on the formula.
  • Best for: Sensitive, acne-prone, or post-treatment skin.
