Everyone knows by now that wearing sunscreen is a necessary step in every skincare regimen, but some products can irritate your skin more than others. For instance, physical sunblock formulas- reflect UV rays and include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide- typically cause less irritation than their chemical counterparts, which absorb UV rays and prevent them from entering the epidermis. Though rarely used today, the chemical ingredient PABA, or para-aminobenzoic acid, is known for causing irritation and staining fabrics and clothes.
