About Sunscreens
Sunscreen is a crucial part of any skincare routine as it helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. Here’s a comprehensive overview of sunscreens
Types of Sunscreens
-
Chemical Sunscreens:
- Description: These sunscreens absorb UV radiation through chemical reactions. Common ingredients include avobenzone, octocrylene, octinoxate, and homosalate.
- Pros: Often lighter in texture and less visible on the skin.
- Cons: Can sometimes cause irritation in sensitive skin.
-
Physical (Mineral) Sunscreens:
- Description: These contain physical blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays.
- Pros: Generally, less irritating for sensitive skin and provides broad-spectrum protection.
- Cons: Can be thicker and may leave a white cast on the skin.
Sunscreen Categories
-
Broad-Spectrum Protection:
- Description: Protects against both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays contribute to skin aging and cancer, while UVB rays cause sunburn.
- Importance: Essential for comprehensive sun protection.
-
SPF (Sun Protection Factor):
- Description: Indicates the level of protection against UVB rays. Higher SPF values offer more protection.
- Recommendation: SPF 30 or higher is generally recommended for daily use.
-
Water-Resistant:
- Description: Designed to remain effective after exposure to water or sweat for a specified time (usually 40 or 80 minutes).
- Note: Reapplication is necessary after swimming or heavy sweating.
Application Tips
- Apply Generously: Use about a nickel-sized amount for the face and a shot glass-sized amount for the body.
- Apply Before Sun Exposure: Apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before going outside to allow it to absorb and form a protective layer.
- Reapply Regularly: Reapply every two hours, or more frequently if swimming or sweating.
Additional Considerations
- For Sensitive Skin: Look for sunscreens labeled as hypoallergenic or designed for sensitive skin. Mineral sunscreens are often a good choice.
- For Daily Use: Many moisturizers and makeup products now include SPF, but it's still advisable to use a dedicated sunscreen for optimal protection.
Choosing the right sunscreen and using it correctly can significantly reduce the risk of sun damage, premature aging, and skin cancer.

...I am left amazed at the results I am able to achieve for my clients with Cellstory. It's a must have on our facial menu. I am always re-ordering this product! Results can be seen in as little as one treatment.
Blanc To Noir Maskbar Clients
...Cellstory eliminates the pain, bleeding, swelling and irritation often associated with microneedling. Cellstory helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (specifically around the mouth, eyes, and forehead), acne, pigmentation, and uneven texture. "It gives an overall healthy, supple, [and] bouncy glow.
Dr. Engelman Maskbar Clients
...My skin looked, in the best way I can describe it, WOW. It was the cleanest and smoothest it has ever looked after a treatment. It was something beyond a miracle. In the hours following the treatment, the redness faded. The next morning, my skin looked healthy, glowy, and there wasn't a pore in sight.
Angela
...Loving my complexion after having received two treatments of the Miracle Tox with Co2 skin booster. Minimised pores and more glow! Staff are super nice too.
Milicia
...I went to get my first cellstory treatment and am already noticing that my skin is brighter and more nourished. The team at Maskbar are wonderful - they are professional and knowledgeable and you feel like you're in capable hands for an indulgent experience. I can't wait to come back for my next treatment!
Hayley Maskbar Clients
...I have been coming in for cell story treatment for skin scars and overall health and tone. My skin has improved significantly with the treatment sessions and products recommended pre- treatment skin analysis. Now can go out with no make up. Couldn't be happier with the quality of care and service provided by the therapist and their manners.
