Which is better for sensitive skin, organic or inorganic sunscreen?
It is difficult to choose because there is such a wide distinction between organic and inorganic sunscreens. Especially since my skin is very thin and sensitive, it turns red and stings quickly if I use even one wrong product, so I have to be careful when selecting sunscreen.
People around me strongly recommended that I stick to mineral sunscreens, saying that the more sensitive my skin is, the less irritating it is. Hearing that they are much gentler than chemical sunscreens, which absorb deep into the skin, I thought they might be right. However, when I actually tried using mineral sunscreens, the characteristic thick texture made it feel like it actually irritated my skin while spreading it. More importantly... because of the white cast that makes my makeup look cakey or heavy, I found myself reaching for them less often.
