A broad-spectrum sunscreen is your skin's superhero against the sun's harmful rays. It acts as a double shield, even with a high SPF, if a sunscreen is not broad spectrum, you won't be protected from all UVA rays.
The key difference lies in how they block the sun's harmful rays. Physical sunscreens are like tiny shields, they reflect UV rays away from your skin, while chemical sunscreens absorb these rays and convert them into heat that's released from your body.
Sun damage cannot be reversed. Exposure to UV radiation, primarily from the sun, can cause various skin problems.
Pigmentation
(UVA&UVB damage)
To protect itself from the damaging effects of the sun, skin makes more brown pigment, called melanin. But sometimes, the skin doesn't make melanin evenly which looks patchy, called pigmentation.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
(UVA damage)
UV rays prompt the formation of free radicals within the skin, which damage elastin fibres in the skin, and contribute to wrinkling.
Uneven Skin Tone
(UVB damage)
The sun can cause small blood vessels to stretch, giving skin a blotchy, uneven look.
Case Studies of Sun Damage Over The Years:
A truck driver with 28 years of prolonged sun exposure on the left side of his face.
Identical twins (natural age 61) with significant difference in lifestyle and sun exposure.
A 92-year-old woman with sunscreen application only on her face but not her neck for more than 40 years.

Harmful chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate have been linked to coral bleaching, a process where stressed coral expel the colourful algae living within them, turning ghostly white. Bleached coral struggles to survive and nourish the marine life that depends on them.
By choosing "reef-safe" sunscreens with mineral ingredients, you can protect your skin from harmful rays while safeguarding these vibrant underwater ecosystems. So next time you hit the beach, make a splash for the planet and choose reef-safe!
