It’s time to get sun smart! Over 90% of the visible signs of aging we see on our skin, like brown spots and wrinkles, are caused by cumulative sun exposure throughout our lives.
UVA/UVB and infrared (IR) rays damage our skin’s collagen and elastin fibers, cause inflammation and redness, create skin discolorations and dark spots, and may even cause skin cancer. It has never been more essential to incorporate an SPF into your daily skincare regimen that offers broad-spectrum protection to ward off the sun’s damaging rays. Luckily, SkinMedica® makes it easy with an array of sunscreens perfect for any lifestyle and skin type!

Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 32 & SPF 35
Like Essential Defense Mineral Shield, Mineral sunscreens rely on two different types of minerals – zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to deflect UVA and UVB rays from getting to the surface of the skin. Because of this, their formulas are naturally a little thicker than chemical versions as they are meant to sit on the skin’s surface and not fully absorb. Mineral sunscreens are great options for sensitive or acne-prone skin since they are generally less irritating. Essential Defense Mineral Shield is a sheer, lightweight formula that offers the highest level of UVA protection available, along with UVB coverage to protect the skin from damaging rays. It comes in an SPF 32 with a light tint and SPF 35.
