The sun care aisle is filled with options, but how do you choose which one is right for you? Ingrie Williams asks the experts
No other skin-care product is as challenging to shop for as a sunscreen. The expectation for an effortless experience is high, and though the variety of offerings has expanded in recent years, that hasn’t necessarily made the search easier. With limited opportunity to try before you buy, finding a formula that is pleasant to use, or won’t irritate your skin, remains a case of trial and error.
Beyond preventing skin cancer, daily SPF use delivers big payoffs for any complexion. “I tell my patients that if you want to wrinkle, if you want thinner skin, or if you want spotted, discoloured skin, then don’t wear sunscreen,” says Dr. Renée A. Beach, owner of DermAtelier on Avenue and assistant professor, faculty of medicine at the University of Toronto. “It should be part of your everyday skin-care regimen.
Oxybenzone, on the other hand, is a UV filter worth watching out for, especially for those with reactive skin. “It has been associated as a contact allergen,” says Beach. “If you have a history of sensitivity, eczema or documented allergic contact dermatitis, then that would be a sunscreen agent that I would say you can skip.”
“No matter how great the formulation is for sun protection, it’s useless if you never use it because it doesn’t feel or look nice,” says Guo.
