Yes, zinc oxide is safe topically and has both sun protection and anti-inflammatory properties, which helps with acne. Here’s a practical way to use it:
- Mix a small amount (1–2 tsp) of zinc oxide powder with your regular moisturizer to make a paste.
- Apply a thin layer on the face; you don’t need thick coverage.
- You can also mix with rose water for a lighter, more fluid application.
Benefits:
- Reflects UV rays, acting as a natural sunscreen.
- Reduces redness and irritation from acne.
- Absorbs excess oil without clogging pores.
Pro tip: make small batches; zinc oxide can settle and become gritty if stored mixed for too long.
