Sunscreen is one of the most important skincare steps because it protects the skin from pigmentation, sunburn, premature aging, and harmful UV rays that may increase the risk of skin damage and skin cancer. Choosing the right sunscreen mainly depends on your skin type and specific needs.

• For oily and acne-prone skin: Choose lightweight, oil-free sunscreens with gel or fluid textures that absorb quickly without clogging pores.
• For dry skin: Look for sunscreens containing hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin to help maintain moisture and prevent dryness.
• For sensitive skin: Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are gentler on the skin and less likely to cause irritation or redness.
• For darker skin tones: Tinted or lightweight formulas are recommended to avoid leaving a visible white cast on the skin.

It is also recommended to use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Reapplying every two hours is essential, especially during swimming or excessive sweating.
