MEGASHADE by ZitSticka - SPF 50 Facial Sunscreen Serum for Acne-Prone, Sensitive Skin

Product Information

There’s much to be said for big floppy hats, sunglasses and just staying out of the sun altogether. However, when it comes to sheer practicality, it’s far easier to commit to the cardinal rule of beauty and all-round skin health of applying SPF daily.

It contains a formula of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and fatty acids that aids in minimizing breakouts.The singular pill works from the inside to ease surface-level inflammation, regulate sebum levels, and balance skin-supportive bacteria. Founder Danny Kaplan knew this all too well, as he had a pimple located, well, where the sun doesn’t normally shine. He shared his frustration with his business partner, Robbie Miller. It led to a full-on conversation about home remedy zit solutions, which then led to actually creating one. The first main difference is that while TiO2 gives a nice broad spectrum protection, Zinc Oxide has an even nicerand even broader spectrum protection. It protects against UVB, UVA II, and UVA I almost uniformly, and is considered to be the broadestrange sunscreen available today.

The best mineral sunscreens to buy in 2023

In terms of the best sunscreen for your skin type, Lee recommends sensitive and oily types opt for mineral sunscreen, as its ingredients will help to calm skin as opposed to irritating it. For dry skin types, she says, “Make sure your sunscreen has hydrating ingredients such as ceramides, jojoba oil, aloe vera or hyaluronic acid.” Meanwhile, those with acne-prone skin should avoid, “comedogenic ingredients such as shea or cocoa butter, soybean oil and oils in general,” she says.

Why choose between sunscreen types? Why can’t we have both? MGS is a lightweight mineral and clean-chemical SPF50 formulation that protects against both UVA and UVB. In other words, she prevents both sun-induced hyperpigmentation and aging. The internet can be a #blessed place, but it can also be a quagmire of misinformation, including a few commonly-held misconceptions around acne-prone skin and sun protection. Allow us to bust three of those myths…

In Matrixyl 3000,Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is coupled with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7and the duo works in synergy to reduce wrinkles and give younger looking skin. According to the manufacturer's in-vivo (made on real people) test, applying 3% Matrixyl 3000 twice a day for 2 months resulted in all of the following things: Acne-fighting
You’re here because you need a sunscreen that doesn’t exacerbate acne, but we’re here to tell you that you are setting the bar too low. MGS is an SPF that fights acne, hon. Her nifty ingredients like Niacinamide, Tea Tree and Colloidal oatmeal help to reduce redness and surface-level inflammation caused by acne. Just saying.

active SPF blend — protects skin from UV rays and sunburn, preventing sun-induced aging and hyperpigmentation Unlike chemical formulations, which take around 20 minutes to become effective, mineral sunscreens also get to work as soon as you apply them. So, this one goes out to my work-from-home and stay at home friends. Are you wearing sunscreen? Do you own sunscreen? And if so, how often are you reapplying it???? Rays of sunshine sound cute—but here’s the thing…

I have experience with acne and breakouts, so always make sure my daily sunscreen is light, non-comedogenic and ideally oil-free. I have a handful of tried-and-tested favorites, that have never broken me out, and feel comfortable on my skin - all of these have ended up on this list.The main selling point for this is that it's technically a moisturizing cream, so you're cramming a lot of skin benefits into this little tub.It's an ideal day cream for grey days. I loved how it left my skin feeling plump and bouncy, but I won't be using it all year long. I'm too much of a sunscreen super-fan. My hat goes off to dermatologists around the world who work tirelessly to disprove rumors that going in the sun sans sunscreen can clear up acne and reduce hyperpigmentation. That’s a big ol’ no sweetie from us. In terms of clearing up acne, board-certified dermatologist Caroline Robinson, MD has this to say: "Sometimes after sun exposure, surface acne does look less inflamed, even clearer, because the skin dries out and temporarily produces less sebum. But that acne and inflammation still exists under the surface of the skin, and exposing it to the sun without protection can lead to much bigger long-term problems, including a higher risk of scarring, hyperpigmentation, and more persistent breakouts — not to mention skin cancers." Regarding skincare and tea tree oil, its most well-known effect is probably being a well established anti-acne ingredient. Multiple studies confirm that TTO is effective against the evil acne-causingbacteria called P. acnes and the effectiveness of 5% TTO gel is comparable to the gold standard anti-acne treatment,5% Benzoyl Peroxidelotion. You need to be a bit more patient with TTO, though, as its effects come slower but also with fewer side effects. Sunscreen is as important indoors as it is outside. Not convinced? It’s okay; I was there too. I barely wore sunscreen outside and I certainly wasn’t wearing it inside. Since then, I have learned how the sun was affecting my hyperpigmentation and in some cases causing it (more on the sun's scarier, though invisible impacts later!). The funny thing is, I only reached these realizations this time last year when quarantine began.
