Chemical sunscreens can get absorbed but whether that’s a problem is debatable:

Hair repair only really works with some ingredients like Olaplex

Doesn’t matter if something is manufactured or organic

Thanks Michelle. I have a few questions. I’ll just ask them all at once, but I don’t expect an answer to all of them at once.

Is it true that chemical sunscreens get absorbed into your skin & body?

Hair is dead. Can it really be repaired?

Does it matter if the source of rentnol or vitamin C or any other ingredient is manufactured chemically or comes from an organic source & which is better?

Is it not worth using retinoids if I can’t help but get some sun exposure before sunscreening myself? I am not good with mornings and sometimes find myself running to class, etc., already worried about being late (I apply the sunscreen after that). Currently I use 1% retinol and am thinking of getting on Retin-A.

In reply to Sirin.

20 minutes before any sun exposure – so it would depend on if you have any indirect sun exposure.

It depends on a lot of factors – it’s easier just to try both and see which gives you better results.

I have couple og questions
What time is ideal to put on sunscreen if you are staying indoors whole day?
Can I put essence right after putting aha/bha since it is ph dependent?
Thank you 🙂

This is very helpful, thanks! I had read conflicting things about BHAs so I figured it was worth taking precautions just in case. But it’s good to know that my usual daily suncreen use should be sufficient.

Please write about tretinoin and uv damage too. Thanks. This is good since I use sal acid too.

Hmm interesting, I was under the impression that salicylic acid also increased sun sensitivity, so I learned something new! But I guess the moral of the story is that it’s best to apply sunscreen in any case. 🙂

I have a question for you! When you use a gel polish system, there's a tacky layer of stuff left on your nail after you cure with the UV light. You simply need to remove it with alcohol, but I was wondering, what IS it? It seems a lot like the gel. But if it's gel, why doesn't it cure with the light? If it's not the gel, what is it?

Thanks!
