@holistic.le: While I do love my Elta, for the better part of a year, I’ve strictly been using a mineral-based tinted sunscreen and here’s why: Tinted sunscreens are a superior choice for pigmentation concerns because they contain iron oxides which protect against visible light AND blue light –the enhanced protection against a broader range of wavelengths helps to prevent the worsening of pigmentation concerns like melasma, dark spots, acne and scars. FYI, just like UVA and UVB, visible light can be just as damaging to the skin when it comes to pigmentation concerns. Additionally, tinted sunscreens are often mineral-based which are gentler, less-irritating and less toxic compared to chemical-based sunscreens. My skin is generally sensitive and I’ve had zero signs of irritation using a mineral-based tinted sunscreen even when switching topical retinoids or undergoing procedures like microneedling –in fact, I actually feel like it helps to calm my skin and I love how the tint evens my skin tone! As always, I hope this helps 💛☀️ #tintedspf #tintedsunscreen
