“I don’t go a day without wearing sunscreen,” said Penn plastic surgeon, Ivona Percec, MD, PhD. “I tell all my patients that once in the morning is not enough. Your face is the number one thing exposed to the sun. Take care of it.”
But when it's humid and sunny outside, you know that sunscreen is only going to make you feel greasy and stickier. And when it's cooler and cloudy, you question the point and the effort involved.
Our Penn Plastic Surgery Skin Care team has a convenient solution to keep your skin protected in a fashionable way, for all four seasons: Powder sunscreen.
Powder sunscreen is mineral-based, so it acts as a shield and doesn’t break down as quickly as chemical sunscreen. Plus, it's easy and convenient to use; you can keep it in your purse or back pack.The best part: no mess or oily hands and face. It's just like makeup. You sweep the compact brush onto your face, and it’s translucent.
Powder sunscreen is great for young children too. Kids never seem to be able to stand still and always complain about the feeling of having lotion smeared all over them. And unlike a spray which can miss spots or get in kids' eyes, powder can be applied with the quick and soft sweep of a brush.
There are several powder sunscreen products in the market, ranging from drugstore brands to ones you can only purchase through your clinical aesthetician.
