Whether you've already got your hands on Youthscreen or you're ready to level up your sun protection game, let's talk SPF! From why it's essential to how to apply it like a pro, we've got you covered. Let's get started!
Why SPF is Non-Negotiable:
Those sneaky UV rays? They're reaching you every. single. day. Even indoors! And especially outdoors. We're talking UVA rays, the ones responsible for photoaging (think wrinkles and dark spots), and UVB rays, the sunburn culprits. A broad-spectrum sunscreen like Youthscreen SPF 60 protects you from both, reducing your risk of premature aging and skin cancer.
When and How Often to Apply:
SPF should be the last step in your skincare routine, right before makeup (if you wear it). Think of it as the protective seal that locks everything in. And remember, reapplication is key! To maintain that SPF 60 protection, reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
Layering Like a Pro:
Apply your serums, moisturizers, and treatments before your sunscreen. Let each layer absorb fully before moving on to the next. Youthscreen plays nicely with other products and creates the perfect base for makeup.
Mineral vs. Chemical Sunscreen: The Breakdown
- Chemical Sunscreens: These absorb into your skin and absorb UV rays like a sponge.
- Mineral Sunscreens: These sit on top of your skin and deflect UV rays like a shield.
So, which is better? It depends on your priorities. Madelynn Rosencrance, our Product Developer, explains our approach: “There is a misconception that mineral is "safer," likely because of the fact it sits on the skin, leaving less room for ingredients to interact with someone who might be allergic to them. Those with darker skin tones are almost always limited to chemical sunscreens because of the non-negotiable white/purple cast. For us, chemical [sunscreen] made the most sense to develop first to prioritize inclusivity and [because] it has the potential to provide more skincare benefits than that of a mineral sunscreen.
The Power of SPF 60 (and What Makes it Clean):
Youthscreen is special because it offers the highest SPF value (60) for a chemical sunscreen in the Sephora Clean category! We use a blend of avobenzone, homosalate, and octisalate – all Sephora Clean approved – to provide powerful broad-spectrum protection.
Skin Health Starts Here
Preventing premature aging is all about protecting your skin from sun damage and supporting its overall health. Youthscreen does both, helping you maintain that youthful glow for years to come.
