Hi.

I am using the following sunscreen at least 45 minutes before I go outside the house:
vanicream sunscreen sensitive skin spf 60.
Is a sunscreen with Zinc Oxide at 7,5% enough?

However, I have still gotten more wrinkles in my forehead. I am only using sunscreen when I am outdoors, when I'm indoors then I am not using it. Could one get wrinkles when beeing indoors too?

Thanks

Welcome!

Yes that is enough because the product also contains 7.5% titanium dioxide which is another physical sunscreen agent. Current UV exposure is not the only cause of ageing and wrinkles, the whole rest of your lifestyle and past lifestyle plays a role. Are you consistently meeting or exceeding all your government's recommendations for healthy eating and lifestyle? What is your full skincare routine at present? Are you applying the right amount of sunscreen and still avoiding UV exposure where possible?

Unfortunately some UVA rays will be present indoors.

What time scale have these new wrinkles developed?
The skin on your forehead may just be dehydrated.
