How to choose best sunscreen for Acne prone skin
People who have oily skin or have acne, they are afraid to apply sunscreen because they say that sunscreen makes their skin more oily, which causes acne to grow. Do you think the same? We will understand the same thing in this post.
Sunscreen protects your skin from sunburn, suntan and premature aging, but if you are taking some medications to cure acne, this medicine can make your skin more photosensitive. That is, they can make your skin sensitive to the sun's harmful rays, so that your skin becomes more sensitive to darkening. That is why it is very important for us to apply sunscreen.
So today we will help in choosing sunscreen for oily skin or acne prone skin.
These 4 things you should keep in mind when choosing sunscreen
- Sunscreen type
- Sunscreen texture
- Ingredients
- Level of protection
Sunscreen type
First of all see what skin your sunscreen is made for. The sunscreen bottle must have some labels such as
- Oil Free
- Non-Comedogenic
- Acne and Pimples Prone Skin.
Sunscreen texture
- Sunscreens of different consistency and textures are available in the market.
- Each skin type has a different texture sunscreen suit.
- People with oily skin should apply sunscreen containing textured fluids, gels, light lotions which will suit them definitely.
- These textured sunscreens are easy to absorb in the skin.
- That is why skin doesn't look oily. The sunscreens that are thick or greasy are not for the general body not for the face.
- When choosing sunscreen, keep in mind that your sunscreen is oil-free, not thick or greasy.
Sunscreen ingredients
If your skin is oily and also sensitive, then choose oil Free, Paraben Free, Fragrance Free, Oxybenzone, Avobenzone, PABA Free Sunscreen. Oxybenzone and Avobenzone chemical are sunscreen agents.
Zinc oxide sunscreen, iron oxide sunscreen, vitamin B3 and B5
Select a product with these ingredients.
Sunscreen protection level
See broad sun spectrum, pa protection, SPF is all these things in many sunscreens. If your skin is sensitive, you should choose sunscreen labeled PA +++ Protection, SPF30 UVB and SPF40UVB.
The higher spf sunscreen will protect you from harmful sun rays for so long.
If you are taking some tropical treatments for acne, you should still use sunscreen. You should apply sunscreen on your skin every three to 4 hours.
