Mineral vs. Chemical Sunscreen. What’s the difference? ☀️

Mineral sunscreen 🧴
• Contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide
• Sits on top of the skin and reflects UV rays
• Often preferred for sensitive skin

Chemical sunscreen 🧴
• Absorbs UV rays and converts them into heat
• Typically lightweight and easier to blend

Not sure which sunscreen is best for your skin type?
Stop by our Endwell or Vestal office to see our selection and book an appointment with one of our dermatology providers to find the one that's best for you!

☀️ Skin Fact☀️
A tan may look healthy, but it’s actually a sign of sun damage.

When your skin is exposed to UV radiation, it produces more melanin to try to protect itself from further injury. That darker color we call a “tan” is your skin responding to damage.

Over time, repeated sun exposure can lead to:
• Premature aging (wrinkles & sun spots)
• Skin cancer
• Loss of skin elasticity

Derm Tip:
Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, even on cloudy days.
