Physical vs. Chemical Suncreen: Which one's for you?
Physical sunscreens use zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide to create a physical block for sun rays. Chemical sunscreens use chemical filters for a lightweight/watery feel.

TIP: If you’re acne-prone, look for non-comedogenic ingredients on the label (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) as recommended by FDA. Always do a patch test first!
