SUNSCREEN for the oilies!
Sunscreen is a pain for those with oily skin.
Stickiness, the sheen of oil that makes your face look like it's been wax polished, and the acne!
Finding the right sunscreen for oily skin can be a daunting task. Many sunscreens leave behind a greasy residue that exacerbates oiliness and can lead to breakouts. However, protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays is essential for maintaining its health and preventing premature aging. In this guide, we'll explore the best sunscreen options specifically formulated for oily skin, along with tips for proper application and skincare routines.
Oily skin is characterized by excess sebum production, which can lead to a shiny complexion, enlarged pores, and a predisposition to acne breakouts. When choosing skincare products, including sunscreen, individuals with oily skin should look for lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas that won't clog pores or exacerbate oiliness.

PRECAUTION #3
1.Carry facial wipes, or a clean napkin, because
2. Once sweaty, wiping your face over your sleeve/ with dirty hands (on top of sunscreen!) is the best way to transfer maximum germs to your face!
3. Most sunscreens need 2-hourly re- applications, keep them on longer. and you're only clogging your pores with no sun-protection
PRECAUTION #4
