MINI-SERIES SUNSCREEN WINNERS!
This is for darker skin tones and those whonare acne-prone like myself. Some of the thicker mineral sunscreens REALLY broke me out !
The best finishes seem to be the chemical sunscreens but some mineral sunscreen is needed in certain circumstances.
Which ones? Well, most men and women with darker skin tones often get hyperpigmentation from inflammation (acne, eczema, cuts, bruises...) and some from hormonal changes (melasma/cholasma). Rarely things like progressive macular hyperpigmentation rares its head. Pityriasis versicolor from a fungal infection can mean differing skin tones on the back, arms and chest.
For fading and evening out Pigmentation, alongside active treatments, one needs a sunscreen that can block visible light and blue light from screens and indoor lighting.
Yes, indoor lighting!
That is why I've kept some mineral mixed sunscreens for that express purpose.
Hope you enjoyed this series!
