The Perfect Sunscreen for Oil Skin Care: Know How to Take of Your Skin

There is no day that we do not meet the sun, or get kissed by the sun. But direct exposure to the sun is a major health hazard, it's more than our expectations. While heading out to sunlight it is a must to apply sunscreen whether you have normal skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, or oil skin, care is important. However, the type of skin will determine which sunscreen you have to use.

The rays of the sun inflict significant skin damage, and it's most true in cases of people with oily skin or sensitive skin who battle the most with problems like breakouts, and enlarged pores. An array of sunscreen brands are available in the market but choosing the best that suits your skin and targets multiple skin issues is very important. 

What do Sunscreens do to the skin?

Sunscreens are a shield for the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation having a high chance of getting absorbed by the skin. Skin without this shield exposed to peak sunlight hours will damage the skin cells causing pigmentation, tan, and wrinkles. The increased production of melanin by exposure to the sun’s UV rays makes it prone to spots or dark patches known as hyperpigmentation. Wrinkles are formed by the excessive breakdown of skin collagen and elastin fibers, this will result in early aging of the skin with fine lines making skin less elastic.

When it is your first time opting a sunscreen, numerous ambiguities hit your head. But here are the key points for you to think about and ponder before opting the sunscreen

• Type of your skin- normal skin, oil skin, dry skin, or sensitive skin
•  Form of Sunscreen- creams, gels, oils, and sprays
• Sun Protection Factor (SPF)- SPF 15, SPF 30, SPF 50 and SPF 100 
• Water Resistant sunscreen- swimming-friendly
• Sunscreens without harsh ingredients 

People with any type of skin should take care of these points before choosing sunscreen. Not all sunscreens are made equal, in the case of oil skin care there should be extra cautiousness.

The Right Sunscreen for Oil Skin Care

Oil skin care requires practices and products designed especially for oily skin. Individuals with oily skin will have excess sebum production when exposed to the sun inducing a greasy appearance with enlarged pores, and are prone to acne and blackheads. Proper oil skin care is not just caring for the skin in summer, but in autumn and winter focusing on cleansing, exfoliation, toning, moisturizing, and sun protection. But not all sunscreens are made especially for oily skin, here are the peculiarities you have to look for in sunscreen for oily skin:

• Non-comedogenic sunscreens that will not clog pores. 
• SPF 15 or above with extra benefits to block excess oil production
• Gives a matte finish
• Lightweight cream, gel, or lotion without leaving white cast
• Should reduce signs of aging
• With ingredients that reduce dark spots and uneven skin tone
• Protecting against inflammation and redness
