Can I mix mineral and chemical sunscreens?
Yes, you can mix mineral and chemical sunscreens. However, it's important to apply them in the correct order for maximum effectiveness. Generally, apply the mineral sunscreen first, followed by the chemical sunscreen to ensure proper protection.
Key points:
- Mineral sunscreens sit on the skin's surface and reflect UV rays.
- Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and convert them into heat.
- Mixing them can provide broad-spectrum protection.
- Always ensure even application for best results.
