Homosalate in autumn: how to adjust

Using Homosalate in autumn: the season brings falling humidity and barrier recovery, so what changes is texture, frequency and what you layer around it — not usually whether you use it at all.

Ten percent was the traditional ceiling; the EU has since lowered the level allowed in facial products after reviewing it. If you are pregnant and would rather avoid it, mineral or newer-filter sunscreens are easy alternatives. Ask your doctor.
