Chemical vs Physical Sunscreen
We all have to wear sunscreen/SPF. Regardless of the weather, it's a daily commitment. The SPF in your makeup is NOT enough to protect your skin. If you don’t wear sunscreen daily, start now. It’ll save you time down the road trying to correct what could’ve been prevented.
Do you know the difference between chemical sunscreen and physical sunscreen?

There isn’t a “better or worse”, it all depends on what you like best on your skin. As long as you’re committed to wearing sunscreen daily, you’re doing yourself a favor. The sun is the strongest aging factor, so protecting early on will prevent early signs of aging!
