We all know sunscreen should be part of our daily skincare routines. But with so many options, what do you need to look for when browsing the sunscreen aisle?Along with checking the SPF rating, Dr. Khetarpal said it’s important to find one that’s water-resistant if you plan on going to the pool. Dr. Khetarpal said chemical sunscreens typically offer better water resistance than mineral sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens are also often easier to apply and more transparent on the skin, while mineral sunscreens can be good for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. Whether it’s a chemical or a mineral, both offer adequate protection from the sun.
