Why Do We Recommend Trying Sunscreen Before Buying It?

After years of popular science, I believe everyone has a clear understanding of how important sunscreen is, and many people have mastered some sunscreen tips. For example, sunscreen must be applied enough, sunscreen must be applied in advance, sunscreen should be reapplied, and sunscreen should not be touched all the time...

However, we will add a little trick today, that is: before buying sunscreen, it is best to try it out.

why? It's not because I picked a sunscreen that is not suitable for me, it's really disappointing! Uncomfortable sunscreen that doesn't make people stick with it at all, I don't want to apply it every day.

Every moment of collapse is a reason not to apply sunscreen. So, is there any sunscreen that really feels good on the skin?

If you want to know whether sunscreen is suitable for you, you must first screen according to your skin type.

Oily skin must look at the texture, it can be matched with oil control ingredients.

As the hardest hit area for oily and stuffy acne, oily skin should try to choose chemical sunscreens with light texture, such as sunscreen gel, sunscreen lotion, solid sunscreen with oil-absorbing ingredients such as mineral powder (silica, kaolin), preferably shake Shake products.

If you choose physical sunscreen, you can choose a lower multiple. Because the higher the general multiple, the more oil and film-forming agent are needed to disperse, and the more greasy it is, which is easy to cause more burden on the skin.

Oil-skinned players with healthy skin can also pay attention to oil-controlling ingredients. Sunscreens with salicylic acid, ethanol, polyols, and low-molecular-weight siloxanes added may feel lighter on the skin.

Dry skin cares about moisturizing, and sensitive skin cares about mildness.

If you have dry skin, you can choose a moisturizing, non-drying physical or physical-chemical sunscreen, such as sunscreen and sunscreen. Of course, products with added moisturizing ingredients will feel better on the skin, such as hyaluronic acid, **** ester/fat/wax, etc.

Sensitive skin is most afraid of sunscreen being irritating and not mild enough. Therefore, physical shielding should be the main sunscreen method, such as umbrellas, sun hats, sunglasses or sun protection clothing.

If you choose a sunscreen, you should also choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen product, preferably a physical formula that is alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and non-allergenic.

Regardless of skin type, it is better to choose products with moisturizing and soothing ingredients under the premise of mild formula. Common ingredients include dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, ceramides, squalane, allantoin and bisabolol.

In addition, it is not enough to only look at the skin quality. The skin feel of the sunscreen is also closely related to the formula and texture. These are also two points that the second wave of screening can focus on.

Recipe: a big difference

Texture: choose the right occasion is the most important

First, sunscreens are divided into physical sunscreens and chemical sunscreens.

The sunscreens of physical sunscreens are mainly titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which can reflect and scatter sunlight and play a role in sun protection. Physical sunscreens have a broad sunscreen spectrum, are relatively light-stable, and are not prone to sensitization, making them suitable for sensitive people. The disadvantage is that it is more difficult to spread, very thick and easy to whiten.

The sunscreens of chemical sunscreens are mainly organic sunscreens, such as salicylates and their derivatives, cinnamates, methoxydibenzoylmethane, and benzophenone and its derivatives. Organic sunscreens are light in texture and have a good transparency, but some ingredients are allergenic to a certain extent, and are not friendly enough for people with sensitive skin and prone to conjunctival allergies.

In short, physical sunscreens and chemical sunscreens have their own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, many formulators will choose to combine the two into a physicochemical sunscreen, in order to take into account the skin feel and mildness.

To sum up, if it is daily use, you can choose sunscreen lotion/cream/lotion, which has advantages in both skin feel and application scenarios.

Although these two screening strategies can help you get rid of some of the thunder, the effect of sunscreen on the face will still vary from person to person, and may even fight with lotions and foundations, causing "mudging" and other phenomena. So, there are really very few sunscreens that are suitable for everyone or for all occasions.

In order to allow yourself to stick to sunscreen and stay away from tanning and aging, we still recommend everyone, whether you buy sunscreen online or offline, try to find a way to try it out in advance. Just like shopping for clothes, try many times to find the product that works best for you. For example, you can borrow your best friend's first to use it, or buy it from a small package.
