Versed Guards Up Mineral SPF 35 Lightweight Sunscreen
This mineral sunscreen with SPF 35 and lightweight moisture is great for all skin types, including acne-prone.
Its creamy texture has a natural, skin-like finish—not too dewy, not too matte.
Non-nano zinc oxide works at the skin’s surface to physically prevent UVA and UVB rays from penetrating your skin.
Antioxidants fight off environmental and electronic (a.k.a. blue light) damage for three-way protection and all the premature aging prevention benefits that come along with it.
Note: Mineral sunscreens like zinc oxide can be sensitizing. Those with reactive skin or a history of allergic reactions should perform a patch test before using this or any new sunscreen.
HOW: Gently smooth an even, generous layer (about the size of a coin) onto skin.
Mineral sunscreen acts as a barrier, sitting on the surface of the skin, do smooth it on—don’t rub it in the way you would a moisturizer.
Use a light touch with this and any products you apply after to avoid makeup pilling.
WHERE: Face and neck. Bonus points for hands—after your eyes, hands are the number two spot that gives away age.
WHEN: AM (every AM), after your moisturizer has fully absorbed into your skin.
If wearing makeup, allow 2-3 minutes for the sunscreen to sink in before applying primer or other cosmetics.
Even though mineral sunscreen goes to work right away, we recommend following FDA guidelines to wait 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours when in direct sunlight or getting wet.
