Zinc is also pretty good for your skin in general. I use mineral sunscreen because I am stubborn, but it sounds better than it actually is. It works by sitting on your skin and reflecting light. It is opaque. You look white as a ghost, or you buy tinted and risk looking like you are covered in foundation. And it gets on everything you wear especially if it's black. I probably never use enough just because I think I'd look like a clown.

Oh, then I might not be using enough because I don't look like a ghost after applying it lol

only recently bought some mineral sunscreen for the first time, because I got into biking places
