Chapters

We should be using our daily skincare routine. And we're recording this kind of as in coming into the summer, but all year round, all year round, you're getting exposed to ultraviolet light. So the sun has the most ultraviolet light. This is a mineral based skin care. So mineral base is typically going to be zinc oxide or titanium. But these mineral based, they're basically metal based sunscreens. They don't absorb their skin. So there's no toxic effects like some of the chemicals that people might be concerned about. It actually reflects the sun. There's sun blocks that absorb the sun, which actually generates heat. Might make things like melasma worse or inflammation worse. And there's ones that reflect it, which would be a mineral based sunscreen.
