Every dermatologist I’ve ever (and have) talked to a lot<\/em>-occupational hazard) gave me exactly the same skin care advice: wearing sunscreen every day is the first way to prevent premature aging. They all also told me that I have sensitive skin and pointed me to mineral SPF formulas.

Minerals, also known as sunscreens, get their name because of their active ingredients. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are minerals that provide a sunscreen feature, and work by creating a physical barrier on the skin to deflect and disperse the rays.
