How to choose sunscreen? People with different skin types choose different sunscreens

Skin condition: Women with oily skin have active sebaceous glands, large pores, and skin that is oily but less hydrated. This means that when choosing summer sunscreens, they must also take into account the above skin needs. In addition, the additional effect of ultraviolet rays on oily skin is that it causes epidermal hypertrophy, thickening of the stratum corneum, further enlargement of pores, and increased oil secretion. At the same time, the need for heat dissipation will make the pores open larger and the skin more oily.

Choice of sunscreen: Water-based and oil-free sunscreens with strong penetration are refreshing and non-greasy when used and will not clog pores. Never use sunscreen and use physical sunscreen products with caution.

People with oily skin must use oil-control skin care products to regulate skin pores and oiliness before using sunscreen in the summer. Daily cleansing is also particularly important. Use special sunscreen cleansing products to make the pores free of burden. However, people with oily skin should be cautious about the habit of exfoliation in the summer. If excessive use of scrubs to exfoliate exposes the dermis to the sun, it will not just cause tanning, but the damage to the skin may last for a long time.

Choice of sunscreen: Sunscreen with moisturizing texture and added hydrating effect and skin immunity enhancement effect. Many sunscreens now have added hydrating and antioxidant effects in addition to sun protection.

Health Tips: Before using sunscreen on dry skin, you should first moisturize the skin and adjust the water and oil balance of the skin. When purchasing sunscreen, be sure to ask whether it has the added value mentioned above. Whether it is physical sunscreen or chemical sunscreen is not the key point for dry skin. The additional functions of anti-aging and moisturizing are the best choices.

Choice of sunscreen: Similar to oily skin, choose a water-based, oil-free formula sunscreen with strong penetration. However, when acne is more serious, inflamed or skin is damaged, you should stop using sunscreen and can only use physical methods of sun protection when going out.

Health Tips: People with acne-prone skin must use oil-control and acne-removing skin care products to condition their skin before using sunscreen in the summer. And the key is to apply sunscreen lightly and thinly. Apply it on your hands first, then press it evenly on your face with both hands. Don't apply it like applying a facial cream, squeezing it on 5 points on the face and then smudge it with your fingers. Doing so will put too much burden on the skin. And try to avoid staying outdoors for too long, because the hot and humid air is not conducive to the healing of damaged skin and will aggravate acne inflammation.

Choice of sunscreen: For safety reasons, it is recommended to choose sunscreen from a professional skin care brand that is specifically designed for sensitive skin, or one that has clear descriptions such as "passed allergy test", "passed clinical test on young children by dermatologists", "passed ophthalmologist test", "does not contain fragrance or preservatives" in the product description. It is best to choose physical sunscreen.

Health Tip: In any case, for sensitive skin it is recommended that all sunscreens be tested on the inside of the wrist or behind the ear before use. If there is no reaction after 24 hours, you can use it safely.
