Choosing Sunscreen for Your Skin Type and Daily Routine

The right sunscreen is one you can apply comfortably every day. For oily or combination skin, consider lightweight gel, fluid or essence textures. For dry skin, explore cream formulas with moisturising ingredients. If your skin is sensitive, check the ingredient list and consider mineral sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Chemical sunscreens use other UV-filter ingredients, and both types can provide effective protection when properly formulated and applied. For makeup days, look for a sunscreen that layers well with your skincare and foundation, whether you prefer a natural, matte or tinted finish. Compare SPF and UVA protection ratings, including PA ratings where available, to help you choose a formula that fits your skin and lifestyle.

How to Apply Sunscreen and Reapply Throughout the Day

Apply sunscreen generously to all exposed skin as the final step of your morning skincare routine before makeup, following the product instructions. Remember commonly missed areas such as your ears, neck, hairline and hands. Reapply approximately every two hours when outdoors, and after swimming, sweating or towel-drying, or as directed on the label. If you wear makeup, consider a sunscreen stick or spray designed for convenient reapplication and follow its directions to achieve adequate coverage. Do not rely on makeup alone for sun protection. For added protection during outdoor activities, combine sunscreen with shade, protective clothing and a hat. A consistent routine helps you maintain sun protection throughout the day.
