Which SPF is Right For Me?

Summer is just around the corner! I know everyone is making plans to spend time outside, out in the sun or on the beach. But before you get too far ahead, I’m here to make sure you keep your skin protected! Sun damage is the main cause of premature aging, so save your skin this summer with the right SPF!

The key is using them RIGHT. So use enough ‑ at least two fingers worth of sunscreen per body part. Don’t forget to reapply every 90 minutes or whenever you come out of the water. And apply your chemical sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going out in the sun. If you follow these rules, you’ll be golden (but not burnt)!

Pure Physical SPF 47 is a broad‑spectrum sunscreen that is both gentle and lightweight, and is perfect for sensitive skin, rosacea, and melasma!

It creates a moisture barrier, which prevents water from evaporating from the skin’s surface, binding moisture back into the skin. Using Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, the physical protection sits on top of the skin to deflect and scatter damaging UV rays, rather than filtering them like a chemical SPF. This makes for a gentle formula perfect for sensitive skin and post‑procedure skin.
