How to Choose the Right Sunscreen for Your Skin

Why Daily Sunscreen Matters

Sun exposure is one of the leading causes of:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation and sun spots
• Uneven skin tone
• Loss of collagen and elasticity
• Premature aging
• Increased risk of skin cancer

Even on cloudy days or while driving, harmful UV rays can penetrate the skin and contribute to long-term damage. That’s why skincare professionals recommend wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen every single day.

How to Choose the Right Sunscreen

Not all sunscreens are created equal. The best sunscreen is one that matches your skin type, concerns, and lifestyle.

At Aesthetica MedSpa, we proudly offer physician-recommended sunscreens that provide superior protection while feeling comfortable enough for everyday wear.

EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46

EltaMD UV Clear is one of the most popular sunscreens among dermatologists and skincare professionals, and for good reason.

This lightweight, oil-free formula is ideal for:

• Acne-prone skin
• Sensitive skin
• Rosacea-prone skin
• Oily or combination skin

The formula contains niacinamide, which helps calm redness and support a healthier skin barrier while providing broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

Many patients love that it blends seamlessly into the skin without feeling heavy or greasy.

EltaMD UV Clear Tinted SPF 46

For those who want a little extra coverage, EltaMD UV Clear Tinted offers the same trusted protection with a subtle tint that helps even out skin tone.

Benefits include:

• Broad-spectrum SPF protection
