LifestyleSummer Lovin’: With The Best Sunscreens To Keep You Shielded!

Just like you’re never fully dressed without a smile, your skincare routine is incomplete without the magical elixir that is Sunscreen. Whether you follow a daily 5-step skincare routine, or you believe in using minimal products – incorporating sunscreen (with a good SPF) is an absolute must to avoid UV damage and sun damage including blemishes and fine lines.

When you’re choosing sunscreen, you’d want to keep an eye out for ingredients that work specifically for your skin. Identify your skin type – dry, oily, combination, extra sensitive, or acne-prone. Once you do that, we’ve got a list of things to watch out for when you are shopping for the best sunscreen on Zivame, specifically based on your skin type!

1) Oily Skin

The right sunscreen can be particularly difficult to find if you have oily skin. Slathering on a product such as a sunscreen can cause your skin to look and feel heavy. Hence, it is important to find an oil-free or matte formula that is extra lightweight too. This way, you’ll steer clear of greasy and chalky sensations, and your pores won’t be clogged when you’re headed outdoors on a sunny day!

2) Dry skin

The sun’s powerful rays can harm your skin, but more so if you have naturally dry skin. When you are looking for the right sunscreen for this skin type, remember to find ones that have moisturising properties, which will not only hydrate your skin but keep it well protected. You can also check for ingredients like plant oils, butter and other natural emollients that will restore your skin barrier. 

3) Sensitive skin

If your skin is prone to breakouts, then the sun cannot be your best friend without a good sunscreen in tow. For those of you with sensitive skin, remember to look for products that are gentle, contain natural ingredients and won’t irritate your skin. Sunscreens with no alcohol and fragrance are your best choice because chemical compounds of alcohol and fragrances can strip your skin of essential oils, thus making it drier and more prone to breakouts.

With the help of these super-effective sun protection formulae, you can now don your game-face, and head outdoors to soak up some vitamin D, without worrying about your sunscreen not doing its job!
