Can you use physical and chemical sunscreens together? ☀️ NO! ☀️ Research shows that mixing both chemical and mineral sunscreens together could reduce your UV protection. So pick ONE! ❇️ Physical sunscreens work like a SHIELD by staying on the surface of the skin and deflecting the sun’s rays whereas chemical sunscreens work like a SPONGE absorbing the sun rays and releasing the UV rays from the skin in the form of heat. ❇️ Physical sunscreens tend to be heavier and can leave a WHITE CAST. They act instantly but need to be reapplied frequently. Chemical, on the other hand, last LONGER but need to be applied 20-30 minutes before stepping into the sun. ❇️ Physical sunscreens are a good choice for everyone, especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. Chemical works better for swimmers or for someone who needs a water-resistant formulation. ⚠️ Always patch test before trying out a new product. #drgeetikamittalgupta #drgeetika #drg #dermapproved #drgapproved #drgrecommends
