How do I choose the best sunscreen? Ask The Kit
“I find shopping for sunscreen so confusing. Mineral, chemical, broad spectrum … It’s like you need a chemistry degree just to understand what the bottles say. All I want is an SPF that’s safe, effective and doesn’t feel all gross and sticky. Help!” —Amanda, Belleville
So, let’s examine the vanity angle. “Many people care deeply about the quality of their skin and wish to stay looking young and healthy. They invest in retinol,, and moisturizers to anti-age,” says Dr. Danny Guo, a medical director, dermatologist and Mohs surgeon at Rejuvenation Calgary North. “While these are helpful, the single most effective anti-aging protocol is to use good quality sunscreen correctly and consistently.
That said, more choice can make the selection process feel more overwhelming … at first. But our experts have a few criteria that can help. Topping Lau’s list are two little words. “Start by looking for a sunscreen that’s labelled ‘broad spectrum,’ which means it’s covering both UVA and UVB rays,” she says. UVB rays are responsible for burns, while UVAs contribute to dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles. “UVA causes aging deep down in the skin and we’re learning more and more about it,” Lau says.
An easy application hack is the two-finger rule, which I use for sun protection in my morning routine. The pro-approved technique is pretty much what it sounds like: Simply pump or squeeze your SPF cream or lotion along your first and middle fingers, then massage the product onto your face. I’ll use another finger-length dollop to cover my neck, chest and ears.
