Benefits of a Mineral Sunscreen for Skincare

An important step that should be taken each morning as part of a full skin health regimen is applying sunscreen. At Modern Dermatology of Kentucky and Cosmetic Specialists, with convenient locations around the state in Lexington, London, Paris, Pikeville, and Richmond, Kentucky, we recommend mineral sunscreens for their superior skincare benefits.

Among our top recommendations is the EltaMD sunscreen line, known for its effective and gentle protection.

Why Choose Mineral Sunscreen?

1. Broad-Spectrum Protection

Mineral sunscreens, including options from EltaMD, provide broad-spectrum protection, protecting from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays will prematurely age your skin, causing wrinkles and age spots, while UVB rays are the rays that burn your skin. Elta MD's mineral sunscreens use active ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to reflect and scatter these harmful rays, offering comprehensive coverage.

2. Gentle on Your Skin

Natural active ingredients are less likely to cause any irritation or allergic reactions like chemical sunscreens. EltaMD sunscreens are formulated to be gentle, making them suitable for all skin types, including those with rosacea, acne, or eczema.

3. Immediate Protection

Unlike chemical sunscreens, which must be absorbed into the skin to work (usually taking about 20 minutes), mineral sunscreens offer immediate protection. When you apply an EltaMD mineral sunscreen, you're immediately shielded from the sun's rays, making it a convenient choice for those on the go.

4. Environmentally Friendly

Mineral sunscreens are considered more environmentally friendly than their chemical counterparts. Some chemical sunscreens contain ingredients that can harm marine life, particularly coral reefs. EltaMD mineral sunscreens are formulated to be reef-safe so that you can protect your skin and the environment simultaneously.
