Through an upload on his TikTok account @kamilajaidi, according to Dr. Kamila chemical sunscreen works like a sponge which will absorb heat and convert it into energy. This will reflect UV rays back. Usually the chemical sunscreen content is oxybenzone, octisalate, avobenzone, and octocrylene.
"For those of you who have sensitive skin that gets red easily, it is not recommended to use chemical sunscreen. That's why those with sensitive, reddish skin are better advised to use physical," he explained.
Meanwhile, the physical way sunscreen works is to reflect UV rays. Therefore, this physical sunscreen is much safer for those of you who have sensitive skin. This is because the ingredients in this physical sunscreen consist of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

Even though this physical sunscreen has many benefits, there is a downside to physical sunscreen, namely that it leaves a white cast. Well, if you have dark skin, then these white traces can be seen clearly.
"So there are pluses and minuses to everything, you just have to adjust it to your needs and skin type," added Doctor Kamila.
