The right scientific terminology for UV filters is natural (chemical, resembling avobenzone, octocrylene or oxybenzone) or inorganic (bodily, resembling titanium dioxide or zinc oxide).
Each varieties work by absorbing the rays and turning them into warmth, however with inorganic aka bodily sunscreens, between 5% and 10% of incoming rays are mirrored and scattered.
With natural filters (‘chemical’ within the conventional, non-scientific sense), the UV rays are principally absorbed and was warmth within the pores and skin.
All the time apply final after moisturiser, earlier than make-up – until in any other case said.
Reapply each two hours if in energetic solar (on vacation, sunbathing, usually being outdoors all day).
Reapply after swimming or extreme sweating/drying off with a towel.
