To protect your skin from the sun’s rays, it’s essential to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Sunscreen needs to be applied and then reapplied every 2 or 3 hours.
Mineral vs “chemical”
Opt for a mineral sunscreen if your skin is oily. The high concentration of powders in the formula will help you absorb the oiliness.
Keep in mind that mineral sunscreens leave a white cast on the skin making you look like a ghost. This can be prevented by choosing tinted mineral sunscreen.
Conversely if you have dry skin, opt for a chemical sunscreen.
Sunscreen should be applied AFTER the moisturizer. and before a primer (if using).
If you have fair skin increase protection to spf 50+.
