Wondering does sunscreen prevent ageing? Daily broad-spectrum SPF helps protect skin from UV damage, which is one of the main causes of premature visible ageing. It will not remove existing wrinkles, but consistent use helps prevent sun damage from becoming more visible over time.
Both synthetic and mineral sun filters can provide effective broad-spectrum protection. The choice between mineral vs synthetic sunscreen depends on your skin type, texture preference and how your skin responds to different formulas.
Synthetic sunscreens tend to feel lightweight and elegant on skin, making them a good option for oily, combination or breakout-prone skin. Mineral sunscreens use ingredients such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and are often preferred by people with sensitive skin.
At Paula’s Choice, every SPF moisturiser is carefully formulated to provide effective daily sun protection with a texture that feels comfortable on skin.
