Sunblock for the Face

To protect your face from aging prematurely, or getting skin cancer, you are going to need to use sunblock for the face. Of course, that is not all you should do. Staying out of the sun during the hottest part of the day is wise. And don’t make the mistake of thinking you are safe from sunburn when it is overcast, because you aren’t!

There are a lot of different ingredients in the many brands of sunscreens out there, so learn something about what they actually do to protect you before you decide which one you want and need. There are physical blockers, like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that the rays simply cannot penetrate. If you are old enough, you surely remember that zinc oxide, which is very inexpensive, used to be used (with no additives whatsoever) to combat diaper rash. All you had to do was smear the white cream over your baby’s butt and nothing could get in there to irritate him!

There are chemical blockers, like avobenzene and mexoryl. Avobenzyne breaks down when the suns rays hit it, and causes free radicals that will age your skin. The newer sunscreens may add helioplex to the formula, which keeps it stable a little longer. One other problem with the chemical blocker is that it may cause allergic reactions in people with very sensitive skin.
