Sunscreen: The Only Non-Negotiable

Whatever your skin goal — brighter tone, fewer marks, smoother texture — sunscreen is doing half the work.

UV exposure drives dark spots, uneven tone, and the breakdown of collagen — which means almost every skin concern you might work on is made worse without protection.

Mineral vs chemical

Mineral filters (like zinc oxide) sit on the skin and reflect or absorb UV; they tend to suit sensitive skin. Chemical filters absorb UV and often feel lighter. The best sunscreen is genuinely the one you'll wear daily.
