Sunscreen's part 3, the hybrid

Yikes! Let's prevent the burn!

Sometimes a marriage of two things creates the best outcome- in this case, it's a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen that will protect your skin on every level.

I think the real selling point for a combined physical and chemical sunscreen-in-one is about texture. Oftentimes a physical sunscreen can be a little heavy so if it's paired with a translucent chemical sunscreen, it cuts down on the chalkiness, and you still get a maximum amount of protection.

So, here are my combined sunscreen recommendations:

For the FACE:

Kiss my Face // elta MD // Shiseido // Algenist

For the BODY:

BabyGanics // Dr. Dennis Gross // Jack Black // CeraVe

When looking for a combined physical and chemical sunscreen, don't assume that if you look at one bottle from a particular brand then they'll all be that kind. Most sunscreen brands offer a variety of physical, chemical and combined options... basically you need to read all the labels in order to figure it all out.

Do you have any favorite sunscreens? Were these sunscreen posts insightful and clear? I'd love to hear what you think.
