Sunscreen is the single most effective anti-aging product. Daily use prevents dark spots, texture changes, and supports an even skin tone.

For mature skin, the right texture matters. Look for hydrating formulas that blend well under makeup and do not settle into lines.

Mineral vs. chemical

Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are often gentler on sensitive skin. Chemical formulas tend to feel lighter and disappear faster.

Application tips

Use a quarter teaspoon for the face and neck. Reapply every two hours if you are outdoors, or after sweating.
