Applying Every Two Hours: Apply sunscreen before going outdoors 15 minutes before. This gives your skin enough time to absorb it and provide protection against the harmful UV rays. If you wait until you are in the sun to apply sunscreen, your skin is unprotected and can burn.

It’s no secret that SPF should be used daily and is imperative to protecting skin from UV rays and hyperpigmentation, along with being the best preventative measure for fine lines and wrinkles.IS THIS SAFE TO USE DURING PREGNANCY OR BREASTFEEDING?Yes! You can safely use it when pregnant or breastfeeding. Your guide to pregnancy safe skincare > WHAT IS A MINERAL SUNSCREEN?There are only two ingredients that are classified as mineral sunscreens, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. Zinc Oxide provides broad spectrum protection. If reapplying over makeup, we would recommend to reapply with a beauty blender and lightly dab all over the face until it's been absorbed, and each area is covered.

First Aid Beauty Mineral Sunscreen Zinc Oxide Broad Spectrum SPF 30

The texture is creamy but lightweight, and has a slight tint, which has been added to counteract any chalky residue that zinc oxide can leave. WHAT IS THE NANO-PARTICLE SIZE?The ZnO dispersion we use doesn’t have a set particle size, but a distribution between 100-1000nm in the shape of a bell curve. However, the average particle size is 350nm. But that's not the only standout component in the tube. Dobos points out a few other stars on the ingredients list. "These definitely aren't the sexiest ingredient names, but they are pretty great: C9-12 alkane and coco-caprylate," she says. "These both have naturally derived emollients that are being used as a substitute for cyclic silicones." These two make the sunscreen look glowy without feeling oily or greasy.
