A Medicated sunscreen preferably shouldn't make ur skin dry. The two most common types of sunscreen are chemical sunscreen and physical sunscreen. Physical sunscreens create a barrier on the skin that filter out UV rays, while chemical sunscreens absorb and scatter the sun’s harsh UV rays. They offer protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
You skin is protected from the sun as soon as it’s applied. There is no need to wait before heading outdoors.Less likely to irritate sensitive skin and better for those prone to heat-activated skin conditions such as rosacea.
Longer shelf life.
