Chemical sunscreens (e.g. oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate, or octinoxate) undergo a chemical reaction with the UV rays, absorbing them and then releasing the extra energy as heat. The sunscreen's chemical reaction only lasts for a limited amount of time, so you have to reapply after 2-3 hours to ensure you’re still protected.

Physical sunscreens (e.g. zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) create a barrier of protection that reflects and scatters the UV rays. What's great about these sunscreens is that as long as the barrier is intact (you haven't sweat through the sunscreen or wiped it off) you won’t need to reapply as frequently.

Here are 10 tips to get the most from your sunscreen.

Broad Spectrum is a term that indicates a sunscreen will protect against both UVA (the aging rays that cause damage and cancer) and UVB (the burning rays that cause sunburn).

It is important to know that titanium dioxide only protects against UVB rays so you will want to make sure that it is mixed with a UVA blocker like zinc oxide, that’s why we use both in our Tinted Mineral Sunscreen.

To ensure your skin is properly protected it’s important to apply the correct amount of sunscreen. The proper dosage is a nickel-size dollop every time you apply it to your face.
