May 12, 2022SkinCeuticals Physical UV Defense SPF 30 Review
Recommended for: All skin types, including those with very dry or sensitive skin.
Created with very dry, sensitive skin types in mind, Physical UV Defense SPF 30 is a daily physical sunscreen that can help protect your skin from the damaging effects of sun exposure. Paraben-free, fragrance-free and enriched with 100% mineral filters, zinc oxide, titanium oxide and artemia salina, the broad-spectrum sunscreen can provide skin with hydration and protection.
Why We Love It: This lightweight sunscreen sinks in quickly and is ideal for even sensitive and post-procedure skin. It’s also a physical sunscreen, meaning that unlike a chemical sunscreen, it starts defending your skin against UV rays immediately after you apply it.
How to Use It: Start by giving the bottle a good shake. Then, apply to cleansed and moisturized skin prior to makeup application and/ or sun exposure. Reapply every 40 minutes after sweating, swimming and towel drying, or after two hours.

How to Use It: About 15 minutes before sun exposure, apply to a cleansed and moisturized complexion. Reapply after sweating, swimming or towel drying your skin. If you don’t break a sweat, reapply at least every two hours.
