A: Although chemical sunscreen absorbs into the skin to the bloodstream, unlike physical sunscreen which stays at the top layer of the skin to shield the skin from sun exposure, but no data till date shows that any FDA-approved chemical sunscreens are harmful.

Possible Questions & Answers. Q: What is UVA & UVB exposure? For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.

Chemical sunscreens act almost like a sponge, absorbing UV light, while physical (or mineral) sunscreens act more like a shield, deflecting the sun’s rays.

In a sunscreen like this, the alcohol is presumably present to thin out the texture of the product and speed up drying time. This much alcohol can be drying, however. As noted in the “Do not use if:” section above, if you have dry skin, you may want to pass on the Missha Aqua Sun Gel. The Aqua Sun Gel also contains silica, another drying ingredient.Since using this sunscreen for three weeks, I have never sustained any form of breakouts or irritations. It blends well with my skincare products and everything goes smoothly. Synthetic fragrance can potentially cause skin irritation or acne breakouts, especially if you have sensitive skin, therefore I strongly advice to do a patch test prior to application. If irritation occurs discontinue usage immediately. Update. Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, aka Tinosorb M, the good buddy of our current molecule Tinosorb S For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide! No irritation or breakouts occurred. I wouldn’t recommend it for those with rosacea though since it contains alcohol.

Yes. Very easy to reapply as it doesn’t pill nor become heavy on the skin. Also, it’s great for re-application because it doesn’t leave a cast. Some sunscreens despite being wearable with one layer can leave a noticeable white cast when applied more than once. This doesn’t happen with the Aqua Sun Gel. Most people will find no issues with sulfate, however if you find your skin doesn't like sulfates then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the sulfate-free icon on Skincarisma.

A: Ultraviolet A-rays called “UVA” for short, is a radiation that makes up 95% of all the UV rays that make it to the Earth’s surface. I tend to reapply this product if I should extensively sweat, or if I should indulge myself in swimming as this product isn’t a waterproof sunscreen, so it tends to wash-off if you profusely sweat or engage yourself in swimming, thereby leaving your skin vulnerable to sun’s UVA and UVB rays, so it’s best to reapply this sunscreen if any of the aforementioned activities takes place. Thanakha Extract: Thanakha extract has a cooling effect that helps sooth the skin exhausted from external environmental aggressors such as solar heat, pollution and ozone. Thanakha extract is mostly used as a toner for oily skin, it also has astringent properties which helps to cool and soothe the skin. These effects are achieved while keeping the protective layer of oil found on the skin intact. The astringent and antiseptic properties of Thanakha also clear the skin, inhibit infections, and prevent scarring. Pueraria Lobata extract: This plant is obtained from the root of Pueraria lobata, also known as kudzu, it’s a plant used in traditional Chinese to help visibly reduce the look of puffiness, dark circles, wrinkles and crow’s feet. Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.

There are a number of botanical extracts lower in the ingredients list. These may add some extra antioxidant protection to the sunscreen, though I don’t really consider them that notable. They’re probably not present in significant amounts. Sure wish I’d noticed the cobweb on that planter before I took this photo.There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue. However, the majority of the scientific community have deemed these findings non-conclusive due to the limitations of these studies. They help loosen up the dirt and grime from your skin and hair to allow for water to wash it away with ease. Personally I think Missha Aqua Sun Gel SPF50+ is suitable for all skin types. Whether you have an oily, dry, sensitive or combination skin, you’ll definitely enjoy the soothing, hydrating, skin-cooling effect and sun-protection potentials of this sunscreen. But ensure to do a patch testfirst prior to product application to test for allergy. Works great with makeup and other products. No pilling. As I mentioned above you must prep your skin well with skincare if you’re dry or prone to dehydration!
