CyberDERM- The Sunscreen Company TM: Which Sun Whip is right for you? Simply Zinc or Every Morning

With our two sunscreens about to imminently launch, you may be wondering what’s the difference and which one is right for you? Both are fair questions and for those of you who cannot try both Sun Whips before you buy, here are some tips for choosing the best product!

How would you describe your skin type:

The New Simply Zinc Sun Whip

If you would describe your skin as:

Normal to combination: Every Morning. Sun Whip. The Every Morning Sun Whip is a great choice with its cashmere matte finish and light application. It’s great for applying every day, before your make-up with minimal shine.

Dry/Sensitive or mature: Simply Zinc Sun Whip. The Simply Zinc Sun Whip is ultra-calming and hydrating with its extract of olive oil. Its 22% zinc oxide formula is richer than its Every Morning counter-part but still applies invisibly and without shine. It has peptides to help repair your collagen and elastin fibers in your skin and therefore is a true anti-aging tool!

Ethnic, darker skin: Every Morning Sun Whip. People with darker skin types sometimes think they can get away without wearing daily sun protection. Don’t be fooled! Darker skin types are still susceptible to certain forms of melanoma, can suffer from melasma and can have aging concerns like uneven pigmentation. It pays to protect which is why spokespeople like Gabrielle Union has come out to talk about using sunscreen on a daily basis. Our Every Morning formula still applies transparently to darker skin tones with no worry of casting a whitish tint!

Acne: Every Morning Sun Whip. Although people with acne worry about using anything to rich on their skin, they still need sunscreen daily. Zinc is a natural anti-inflammatory which will help calm irritated skin but this lighter formula will provide just the right amount of hydration without clogging pores. It also will not leave you with an oily finish, which no one wants!

Melasma or hyper-pigmentation: Simply Zinc Sun Whip. Anyone who suffers from melasma or hyper-pigmentation knows that you have to be absolutely sun vigilant. If you have also ever been diagnosed with any form of skin disorder like actinic keratosis or melanoma, you also know that you cannot afford to take sun protection for granted. You need strong, consistent photo-stable protection and the 22% zinc in this formula gives just that- consistent, long wave UVA and UVB protection!

Pregnant, breast-feeding or thinking of becoming pregnant: Simply Zinc Sun Whip. Anyone that has been pregnant before knows that it is of great importance to consider how what you apply to your skin affects your infants’s health in the womb. There is some worry over other chemical filters like avobenzone and oxybenzone in sunscreens being absorbed into your body. It is unclear about their effect once in the body but certainly it is not a risk worth taking on your unborn child’s health. The thinking would be then that if your sunscreen is safe enough to use when you’re pregnant, it’s safe enough to use for the rest of your life. Remember that we all still apply zinc to our baby’s behinds because of its healing properties! Our resident mom’s who work at CyberDERM also love the Simply Zinc to use on their children as they grow up. They love to maintain natural and holistic lifestyles and Simply Zinc fits in it!

This is a somewhat reductive guide because in the end your choice may just be a matter of which one feels right on your skin. We hope you find one that you love either way and stay protected all day, every day.
