]]> It’s no secret that sunscreen is important for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays. But a lesser-known fact is that not all sunscreens are created equal. And not every sunscreen will be a good fit for your skin type. Let’s take a look at some key factors to consider. 

Consider Your Skin Type

Oily Skin

Choose a sunscreen with a matte finish to reduce shine. Gel-based or non-comedogenic sunscreens can prevent clogged pores.

Dry Skin

Look for sunscreens with moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides. Cream-based sunscreens can provide hydration along with sun protection.

Sensitive Skin

Mineral sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are less likely to cause irritation. This makes it a great option for sensitive skin. Avoid sunscreens with fragrances or alcohol.

Acne-Prone Skin

Lastly, for acne-prone skin, opt for oil-free, non-comedogenic formulas that won’t exacerbate acne.

Factor in Lifestyle and Exposure

For everyday use, a sunscreen with SPF 30 is sufficient. If you’re planning to spend extended periods outdoors, consider a higher SPF and reapply every two hours. If you’re in high-altitude or tropical locations, you’ll need more protection due to stronger UV radiation levels. Additionally, consider a more potent sunscreen during the summer months when UV levels are higher.

]]> It’s time to dig in your cabinet and find that bottle of sunscreen you didn’t use up last summer, but be careful — it may have expired by now. How do you even know if your SPF is still good to go?

“Sunscreen absolutely expires and should never be used past its expiration date,” says Shari Marchbein, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City. “Like food, sunscreen can go bad and the ingredients can spoil, leading to a watery consistency. They also become less effective, which means a significant increase in the potential for sunburns, sun damage, brown spots, and the risk for skin cancer development.”

This means that an expired product might not provide you the protection you expect from them. Additionally, they can do other damage to your skin, depending on the changes in consistency and texture.

Always make sure that cosmetic products you use, including sunscreen, haven’t gone bad before a use.

]]> With spring in full force, it’s time to get out the sunscreen. Although a lot of people only reserve it for summer and specifically the beach or pool, you really should be wearing sunscreen anytime you go outside. No matter what your skin tone is, everyone needs protection from UV rays, so follow these tips and keep your skin healthy!

Lips

Most people don’t think about putting sunscreen on their lips, but it’s just as important as the rest of your face! Your lips are actually a big risk for skin cancer, so make sure you get a lip balm with SPF in it.

Feet

Your feet are another place that can get easily burned and have skin damage, so make sure you’re doing the tops of your feet and also the bottoms if you plan on laying on your belly a lot.

Indoors

Even when you’re inside, you actually should be wearing sunscreen still. Especially if you’re by any windows, some UV rays can still penetrate the glass which means you still need protection against them! You don’t need much and you only have to reapply once or twice during the day, but it really makes all the difference.
