A dermatologist's 5 sunscreen picks by skin type. sunscreen protectyourself
How to choose the right SPF for your skin Sun care is a year-round skin essential, but summer’s ultra-strong rays and ample outdoors time calls for a full-body overhaul of your sunscreen game plan. First things first: There’s no one-SPF-fits-all option. “Sunscreen use is such a personal preference,” says Dr. Sheila Farhang, MD, a Tuscon-based dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon.
A key differentiating factor is whether to opt for a physical versus chemical sunscreen. “Physical sunscreens formulated with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide have been known to leave a white cast,” Dr. Farhang explains, though newer formulas avoid the chalky finish. Chemical sunscreens can be more sheer and quick-absorbing, but often contain ingredients like oxybenzone, which can be irritating and sensitizing.
