How many different sunscreens exist?
It is important that you know the different types of sunscreens. To understand what type of sunscreen we are dealing with; we will always check the product label. These are the three types of sunscreens:
-
Chemical sunscreen absorbs into the skin and then absorbs UV rays, converts the rays into heat, and releases them from the body. The active ingredients in chemical sunscreens include avobenzone, octinoxate and oxybenzone. Physical sunblock sits on top of the skin and reflects the sun's rays.
-
Physical sunscreens, more commonly known as mineral sunscreens, work by creating a physical barrier on the skin that shields it from the sun's rays. These sunscreens deliver broad-spectrum protection by reflecting UV radiation away from your skin.
-
Mineral sunscreens contain the minerals zinc oxide and titanium oxide, and work by creating a physical barrier on your skin that reflects the sun's rays. They have to be applied evenly over your skin to be effective.
It is also important you get some other information about each sunscreen you use; such as the textures and what sort of skin it is aimed for,
-

When using sunscreen it is very important to apply it at least 30 minutes before sun exposure to the open air and reapply it every 2/3 hours for consistent protection.
