Sunscreen isn’t just a summer essential—it’s a year-round protector. Whether you're stepping out in harsh sunlight or it’s an overcast day, applying SPF is one of the most effective ways to guard your skin against UV damage, premature aging, and uneven tone.

But with so many options available, finding the right formula can feel overwhelming. This guide breaks down what you need to know based on your unique skin needs.

Why Sunscreen Matters

• Sunscreen is more than a skincare step—it’s a daily defense against:
• UV Damage: Protects against UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays.
• Premature Aging: Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and sunspots.
• Skin Cancer Risk: Minimizes exposure to harmful rays that can lead to skin cancers.
• Pigmentation: Helps prevent dark spots and discoloration.

Choose the Right Sunscreen for Your Skin Type

1. Oily or Acne-Prone Skin

Look for oil-free, non-comedogenic options that offer a matte finish.

• Texture: Gel or water-based
• Ingredients to look for: Niacinamide, green tea, zinc, cica

2. Dry Skin

Moisturizing sunscreens help maintain hydration while protecting.

• Texture: Creamy or lotion-based
• Ingredients: Squalane, ceramides, aloe vera, glycerin
  

3. Sensitive Skin

Gentle formulas with soothing ingredients are key. Avoid harsh chemicals and fragrance.

• Texture: Mineral-based, lightweight cream
• Ingredients: Zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, oat extract, aloe vera

4. Combination Skin

A balanced formula that controls shine and hydrates is ideal.

• Texture: Lightweight lotion or hybrid
