How much sunscreen
Most people under-apply. A common guide is two finger-lengths of sunscreen for face and neck. Reapply every two hours outdoors, and after sweating or swimming.
Mineral or chemical?
Both work with copper peptides. Choose the one you'll actually wear every day. That's the one that protects your skin.
Why it matters for anti-aging
Sun exposure accelerates the loss of firmness and the look of fine lines. More in sunscreen and anti-aging.
FAQ
Do copper peptides make you sensitive to the sun?
No, unlike retinoids and exfoliating acids. SPF is still essential.
Can I mix my serum into my sunscreen?
No. Mixing can dilute your SPF. Apply them as separate layers.
Do I need SPF indoors?
If you sit near windows a lot, daily SPF is a good habit.
