A high SPF plus Zinc: Sunscreen Favorite Picks

Posted on Tue, Jul 05, 2011
  
  
  
  

By Marné CarMicha Walsh, M.S., P-AC

I created a favorite picks list for sunscreen products that we carry in our office. All of these products contain zinc oxide and provide true broad-spectrum sunscreen coverage (Full UVB and UVA).

Avoid products with partial protection

skinceuticals suncreenMost chemical sunscreens provide only partial UVB and/or partial UVA protection, therefore multiple chemical sunscreens are needed in a single product in order to achieve broad-spectrum UVB and UVA coverage. Unlike chemical sunscreens that can be absorbed into the body, zinc is safe to use on young children because it is not absorbed into the body. Many of the sunscreens in our office are paraben-free and fragrance-free and we also carry oil-free formulations ideal for acne prone skin.

The entire staff has me beginning to feel like a full-fledged woman. I am beginning to like the skin I wear! Feel like each one of you really, really cares about me...without pointing out how really old I am....helping me to stay positive. You know...young inside and slightly wiser and positive outside. Love you all.
