Information - Sunscreen For Acne Prone Skin

If you have oily or acne prone skin, especially if your skin is sensitive, it is very important to choose sunscreens specifically designed for your skin type.

Acne sunscreens offer effective sun protection, while not burdening the skin and its pores. In contrast, sunscreens for sensitive skin provide high and specialized protection against UVA-UVB radiation, while reducing the chance of irritation.

What to look for when choosing a sunscreen for acne:

1. Oil-free and non-cοmedogenic

Acne-prone skin shows clogged pores, so any oil-containing product helps to clog pores. To avoid this, it is advisable to opt for sunscreen and cosmetics without oils. Their packaging is labeled oil free and usually states that they do not clog pores, ie that they are non-comedogenic.

2. Mild compositions

Choose unscented sunscreens, silicones and sodium sulfates, which can irritate the skin. Experts recommend staying away from sunscreens rich in coconut oil, mineral oils, soybean oils, lanolin and cocoa butter. Also, stay away from sunscreens that contain the active ingredients oxybenzone and PABA.

3. Protection index SPF30 or higher

It is necessary to apply your sunscreen daily, not only to not worsen the condition of your skin but also because some acne treatments make your skin more sensitive to the sun. The best choice is a broad-spectrum sunscreen, at least SPF30 or higher. This will block about 97% of the UV rays.

What to look for when choosing a sunscreen for sensitive skin:

1. Hypoallergenic composition

Hypoallergenic sunscreens are suitable for sensitive and intolerant skin, do not contain dyes, chemical filters, alcohol that can cause problems or irritation to sensitive skin.

2. No perfumes

Cosmetic products or sunscreens for sensitive or hypersensitive skin should not contain fragrances. Perfumes in skin care are one of the main causes of skin reaction and irritation.

3. Skin friendly ingredients

Sunscreens that contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide do not irritate as easily as sunscreens that contain chemicals. Look for soothing ingredients with anti-inflammatory action, such as green tea, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E.
