In today's market and environmental conditions, sunblocks can range from SPF 15 to SPF 50 or even more. The safest bet though is a Broad Spectrum sunscreen, that protects from both UVA and UVB sun rays. Since organic sunscreen does not contain any chemicals, be sure it contains Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. These are natural elements that protect your skin from UV rays. View Post

When your skin gets irritated by pretty much everything around you, it's natural to be conscious of the skincare products you are willing to work with and apply on your face. Sunscreens tend to be a prevalent product that people usually fear due to unclear or vague ingredient lists.

When buying a sunscreen, be sure to read the ingredient list. Some sunscreens are hybrids, meaning they contain both physical and chemical UV filters. Fortunately, the ever-growing skin-care market is catering more to those with reactive skin, so it's no longer difficult to find a formula that will suit you and your skin.

Healthy human skin has a pH of around 4.5 to 5.5, which is just slightly acidic and balanced. When the skin is within this appropriate range, the mixture of sebum, sweat and dead skin cells, form a protective film on the skin called the acid mantle. This film is a barrier that keeps your skin away from pollutants and prevents bacteria from producing and breading on your skin surface. If your skin’s pH level becomes unbalanced, it can create a suitable environment for the development of dermatitis, acne, and candida infections. View Post
