Not sure how much SPF to use? ๐งด Use the two-finger ruleโa line of sunscreen down your pointer and middle finger is the perfect amount for your face and neck.
Using too little SPF can seriously reduce protection, so donโt skimp! Reapply every 2 hours and after sweating or swimming to keep your skin fully shielded.
Mineral vs. Chemical?
Mineral sunscreens (like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays. Theyโre essential for anyone with melasma, rosacea, or post-inflammatory pigmentโsince they help prevent heat-triggered flares and stubborn dark spots.
Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and tend to feel more sheerโgreat for everyday wear under makeup or for active lifestyles. Not sure which is right for you? We can help you choose the perfect fit.
Pro tip: We carry Colorescience, SkinBetter, and ZO sunscreens in-officeโso youโve got options for every skin type and concern.
