Sunscreen has become an important part of skincare routine to protect against the negative effects of sunlight. Its main function is to protect the skin from UV rays that can cause various skin problems. Therefore, choosing the right sunscreen product is key to maintaining skin protection effectiveness. The main thing to consider is paying attention to the SPF in sunscreen products. In addition to SPF, the formulation of the product should also be suitable for the needs of the skin. Here's how to choose the right sunscreen product.

If you have oily skin, make sure to choose a sunscreen that has a lightweight consistency, such as gel or lotion. Oily skin has a natural characteristic that makes it difficult to excrete keratin that can clog pores, making it prone to the formation of blackheads. Using a sunscreen with a lightweight formula will be more comfortable for oily skin, as it can help reduce the oily sensation on the face.

Skin that experiences inflamed acne tends to have high sensitivity. Physical sunscreen is recommended for this condition. This is because physical sunscreen operates by forming a protective barrier on the surface of the skin and reflecting UV rays without absorbing them into the skin. In addition to being suitable for problematic skin with inflamed acne, physical sunscreen is also recommended for sensitive skin, pregnant women, and even children.

"Acne and blackheads appear due to blockages in the skin pores. For conditions like this, chemical sunscreen is recommended over physical sunscreen, especially those with high SPF, as they tend to have dense active ingredients that can cause blockages. Additionally, chemical sunscreen is preferred in terms of appearance as it does not leave a white layer on the skin after use. However, chemical sunscreen is not recommended for sensitive skin or for pregnant women, especially if it contains active ingredients like oxybenzone."
