Visible light, on the other hand, is not only emitted by the sun but is also present in electronic devices such as your cell phone and television.
This is the reason why it’s important to wear sunscreen every day because visible light is everywhere.
So, what can we do?
Protecting ourselves from UV rays and visible light can take us a long way.
We can reduce the formation of dark spots and delay signs of aging by just wearing sunscreen every single day.
Tinted sunscreens usually contain broad-spectrum mineral UV filters and pigments that create the skin-tone effect.

Accumulating evidence suggests that tinted sunscreen can reduce relapse from melasma and further darkening of marks especially when your skin is prone to hyperpigmentation.
Plus, it’s tinted!
It can replace your usual foundation without having to worry about layering your sunblock and make-up.

Avène Mineral Tinted Compact SPF 50
First Aid Beauty Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30
SkinCeuticals UV Defense SPF 50
