UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and contribute to premature aging and wrinkles, while UVB rays primarily cause sunburn. Both contribute to the development of certain types of skin cancer.
Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 provides broad-spectrum protection, meaning it helps protect the skin from sunburn and, when used as directed with other sun protection measures, decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun.
However, you should still reapply this Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 every 2 hours to have continued sun protection throughout the day.
Yes, dermatologists often recommend mineral sunscreens, particularly for sensitive skin, children, and individuals with eczema-prone or redness-prone skin. Mineral sunscreens, also known as physical sunscreens, use active ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays, rather than absorbing them. This helps minimize the likelihood of irritation and allergic reactions, making Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50’s formula a gentle option for those looking for mineral-based sun protection.
