Mineral Sunscreens: Best Option for Sensitive Skin?

I’ve been struggling to find a sunscreen that doesn’t irritate my skin. Heard mineral sunscreens are gentler—anyone have experience with brands like CeraVe or EltaMD? What’s your go-to?

Mineral sunscreens are like the introverts of skincare—gentle, protective, and sometimes leave a white cast if they’re feeling shy. CeraVe’s Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen is a solid pick; it’s like a hydration hug for your face. EltaMD UV Clear? Think of it as the VIP treatment for sensitive skin—lightweight and non-irritating. Just don’t forget to reapply, because even introverts need a second chance to shine.

I love how mineral sunscreens are getting the spotlight! If you’re exploring beyond CeraVe and EltaMD, La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios Mineral Zinc Oxide SPF 50 is a hidden gem—great for acne-prone skin and doesn’t feel heavy. I’ve also found that pairing sunscreens with a light moisturizer helps reduce any potential irritation. Speaking of reapplication, a spray-on mineral sunscreen like COOLA’s can be a lifesaver during outdoor activities. Experiment with a few to see what feels best on your skin—consistency is key!
