Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen SPF 36 ($60)
“Physical sunscreens are necessary for all ages, but in the over-50 crowd, there tends to be a little more catching up to do. Only in the last 10 years have excellent cosmetically elegant products became available. And, only recently have we realized that physical sunscreens are healthier than those with a chemical active ingredients that cause the SPF to be effective. Mature skin tends to need products to be more emollient, as the skin barrier is not as good as we age. Meanwhile they also must rub in well to be elegant. My patients and myself all really like this Alastin product because it acts as not only an excellent physical sunscreen, but also doubles as a light foundation.” —Delray Beach, FL dermatologist Dr. Janet Allenby
“This sunscreen is incredibly effective with broad-spectrum UV protection, which is a must for all skin types, particularly mature skin, because it becomes less forgiving and shows more photoaging than younger skin. The combination of efficacy, tolerability and the ability to enhance cosmetically by restoring ‘dewiness’ and luster make it one of my favorite go-tos for mature skin.” —Dr. Segal
