What Do All of Those Long Names Mean? Sunscreens

Exposure to sun can cause skin irritation and lead to breakouts, so keep an eye on it. The best way to protect your skin from the sun is to avoid long term exposure from it altogether. If you find you are going to be outside for any period of time, wear sun protective clothing, i.e. long sleeves and a wide brimmed hat (at least 4") that will completely shade your face and neck.

As far as sunscreens go, they should have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15 or more. Sunscreen needs to be reapplied after swimming or sweating or long term use. See individual product labels for the specific amount of time the product will last. The FDA requires most cosmetic products to contain sunscreen or at least recommend the use of them on the label.

PABA or Para-Amino-Benzoic-Aicd is a natural sunscreen that absorbs ultraviolet rays derived from vitamin b complex. It may be a potential allergen.
Benzophenone or Oxybenzone is a natural sunscreen that absorbs UVA and UVB rays. It is a possible skin irritant.
Octyl Methoxycinnateis a natural sunscreen that absorbs UVB rays, is more effective and has less side effects than PABA.
