Sunscreen will work best if it is suitable for the skin.
Because of the variety of sunscreens, not everyone knows how to choose the right product for their skin. According to The Healthy, based on skin type is the most effective way to choose sunscreen. Photo: Stylecraze. 
1. Normal skin: Both physical and chemical sunscreens can be used on normal skin. Dermatologist Tsippora Shainhouse in Beverly Hills (USA) recommends that users choose products with broad-spectrum protection, which can block both UVA and UVB rays. “If you’re just indoors, SPF 15 should suffice. You’ll need SPF 30+ or higher if you have to go out,” she says. Image: The Independent. 
2. Oily skin: People with oily skin need to be especially careful when choosing a sunscreen because this product easily makes the skin greasy. Shainhouse suggests that users should choose a gel-based, alcohol-based chemical sunscreen or a mild moisturizer for best results. In addition, the ensulizole component should also be noted because it is the least greasy. Image: Evening standard. 
3. Dry skin: “People with dry skin should use a daily moisturizer that contains sunscreen,” says Joyce Imahiyerobo-Ip, director of cosmetic dermatology at South Shore Medical Center in Massachusetts. In case you are still unsure, you can mix a thick moisturizer with sunscreen before applying it to your face and body. Image: Verywell Health. 
4. Combination skin: Like many other cosmetics, sunscreens for combination skin need to be light in texture in the form of gels, essences, or sprays to avoid clogging. Besides, you should also avoid ingredients that soften the skin such as plant oils, fatty acids if you do not want the skin to be more greasy. Image: The Independent. 
5. Acne skin: Sunscreens for acne-prone skin often have “Non-Comedogneic” written on the label. Some chemical sunscreens containing derivatives, oxybenzone, fragrance, alcohol are also not suitable for acne skin. Image: Dermstore . 
6. Sensitive skin: Similar to acne skin, sensitive and easily irritated skin needs more care in choosing products. Besides some basic criteria such as alcohol or fragrance-free and nourishing ingredients, products tested by doctors or experts are the wisest choice. Image: Pinterest .
