FYI: You Should Be Wearing Sunscreen Every Single Day (Yes, Even Indoors)

Wearing sunscreen every day is absolutely essential, especially on your face (yes, even if you're indoors). Just because the sun isn't frying you, that doesn’t mean the UV rays aren’t still reaching you and damaging your skin. Just in case you didn't know, sun exposure can lead to skin cancer, melasma, and wrinkles (excuse me while I slather an entire bottle of sunscreen all over my face).

Despite all the dangers of sun exposure, many people still don't wear sunscreen every day, due to other concerns. Sunscreen can sometimes cause or aggravate acne, sometimes gross residue behind, and can contain irritating chemicals. But you can keep the sun protection and skip the rest, if you know what products to shop. Unlike chemical SPF, physical SPF (also known as mineral sunscreen), tends to be less irritating to sensitive skin and safer for the environment. It’s also effective immediately on contact with skin. Awesome, right?

So where can you shop it for yourself? Well, I’ve narrowed down the best mineral sunscreens for your face – the top broad spectrum (protects against UVA and UVB rays) SPF 30+ protection you can buy.
