    Improved uv protection and longevity are the major points, so youll age more gently long term and you wont have to strictly reapply every 2 hours - since im mostly in doors minus a 20m daily walk, i only apply once in the morning

    But also the new sunscreens rub in and blend in better and dont feel as greasy so it not gross to put on and wear everyday

    I dont wear makeup, so if the sunscreen is super shiny or pilly my face looks wierd, i dont like how i look, not so with the new filters

    With my current sunscreen, its just part of the routine and its barely a thought for me - dosent smell bad, dosent feel bad, dosent make me feel sticky or tacky or greasy or shiny, i just put on 3 pumps (or finger lengths) to appropriatly protect my face, ears, and neck and its easy, and i use a cheaper american sunscreen on my arms to keep cost down

    Hard to describe, but i tried a bunch of fda-approved sunscreens once i understood how damaging the sun is and how it affects aging and skin cancer and never found one that i really liked, so i imported some from abroad at the suggestion of a friend and finally found my sunscreen, and now i feel naked without it, wheras it was a chore like eating boiled brussle sprouts before
