Sun protection

Daily sun protection limits early signs of aging, helps keep new dark spots from forming, and lowers the risk of skin cancer.

Ingredients that help

  • Mineral filters: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
  • Chemical filters, such as avobenzone and octocrylene, are also widely used

What dermatologists recommend

  • Wear a broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 30 or higher sunscreen every day.
  • Reapply about every 2 hours, and after swimming or sweating.
  • Use enough: about a shot glass for your body, and at least a teaspoon for your face.
  • Seek shade, especially from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and wear a wide-brimmed hat.

Sensitive skin: fragrance Why?
  • fragrance: Fragrance or parfum, and scent ingredients listed by name, such as linalool and limonene. The most common cause of skincare allergies; worth avoiding if you have eczema, rosacea, or very sensitive skin.

These flags don't affect the pregnancy rating. They point out the ingredients most likely to make skincare sting, itch, or cause a rash. If your skin is sensitive, or one of them has bothered you before, you may want to skip the product or patch-test it first. Most people use them without a problem.
