Of more concern in the ingredients here is the alcohol denat. Also, organic/chemical sunscreens tend to achieve levels of cosmetic elegance that physical/mineral sunscreens can’t match.) ![]() (If you’re pretty new to skincare and find the idea of using a “mineral” sunscreen more attractive than a “chemical” one due to the descriptors, however, please don’t let the terminology put you off from trying a chemical sunscreen out. Others may find their skin can’t tolerate chemical filters, or at least some chemical filters. Many other happy chemical sunscreen users feel the same way. Personally, my skin has never had an issue with chemical filters. CosDNA doesn’t flag any of the filters in this sunscreen as known irritants. It’s often said that chemical filters are more irritating to skin than inorganic/mineral/physical filters, but that, like so much else in skincare, is nowhere near universal. The Missha All Around Safe Block Aqua Sun Gel uses exclusively organic, aka “chemical” filters. Notable ingredients: Since this is a sunscreen review, I’ve highlighted the UV filters in the ingredients list typed above. Let sunscreen set for 15 minutes before applying makeup.Ī post shared by Jude Chao □□ □□ ✊□ □□ All Around Safe Block Aqua Sun Gel ingredients: Water, homosalate, alcohol denat., ethylhexyl salicylate, dipropylene glycol, silica, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, methyl methacrylate crosspolymer, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate, octocrylene, VP/hexadecene copolymer, acrylates/dimethicone copolymer, water, limonia acidissima extract, artemisia princeps leaf extract, camellia sinensis leaf extract, chrysanthemum indicum flower extract, cinnamomum cassia bark extract, diospyros kaki leaf extract, morus alba fruit extract, pueraria lobata root extract, centaurea vyanus flower water, helichrysum italicum flower water, thymus vulgaris (thyme) leaf water, methoxy PEG/PPG-25/4 dimethicone, Bis-PEG/PPG-20/5 PEG/PPG-20/5 dimethicone, dimethicone, acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, caprylic/capric triglyceride, sodium hydroxide, butylene glycol, cyclopentasiloxane, BHT, disodium EDTA, phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol, ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-hexanediol, fragrance I highly suggest using my Three Fingers method, as seen in the IG video below, to achieve the smoothest and most even coverage. Take a generous amount (1/4 tsp is the general recommendation, based on the dimensions of a large male face I do a bit more than a nickel-sized amount of product, or three fingers’ length) and spread evenly over face. When and how to use: Apply as the last step in your morning skincare routine before makeup. Purpose: Missha All Around Safe Block Aqua Sun Gel is an organic (“chemical”) sunscreen product with high UVA and UVB protection capabilities, meant for everyday use (as opposed to sport or in-water use).īest suited for: Normal or oily skin without alcohol or fragrance sensitivities.ĭo not use if: Your skin is prone to dryness or you are sensitive to alcohol, silicones, fragrance, or anything else in the ingredients list. For these reasons, I’m very diligent and very picky about my sunscreens. I’ve long said that the best way to prevent premature skin aging is by wearing sunscreen with high UVA and UVB protection in the recommended quantity every day. Sun damage causes the vast majority of visible skin aging, including coarsening skin texture, deep wrinkles, blotchy pigmentation, and drastic loss of collagen and general elasticity. Sunscreen is by far the most important element of my daily skincare routine.
