Choosing the right Sunscreen for Oily Skin – Well+Good

How do I choose sunscreen for oily skin? Asks Well + Good in an article today where NYC based board-certified dermatologist Michele Green, MD notes that “lightweight, oil-free, and non-comedogenic sunscreens are best for oily skin.” She continues, telling Well + Good, “Non-comedogenic means it will not clog pores, preventing congestion and acne breakouts.”

“Many people with oily skin find water-based sunscreens to be super lightweight and not greasy.” She talks about what to look for in a sunscreen if you have oily skin, including if you can use tinted sunscreen and what ingredients to look for (and look out for). For example, she also talks about water based sunscreens, and later in the article, Dr. Green says, “Many people with oily skin find water-based sunscreens to be super lightweight and not greasy.” But look out for chemicals being used, as chemical-based tinted sunscreens have ingredients like homosalate, octisalate, octinoxate, octocrylene, and avobenzone, which “protect the skin from UV rays via a chemical reaction in which UV radiation is converted into heat and released into the environment.”
