How to Pick the Right Glow Protector (Sunscreen)

Not all sunscreens are created equal—especially when your goal is healthy, glowing skin. Here’s how to pick the perfect one for your needs:

Look for “Broad Spectrum” on the label. It means your sunscreen protects against:

SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays.
If you're outdoors a lot or very fair-skinned, SPF 50+ gives extra protection.

Oily/Acne-Prone Skin: Go for a lightweight, gel-based, or matte-finish sunscreen. Look for “oil-free” or “non-comedogenic.”
Dry Skin: Pick a hydrating, cream-based sunscreen with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides.
Sensitive Skin: Use mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide—gentle, soothing, and non-irritating.
Combination Skin: A lightweight, non-greasy formula with balanced hydration works best.

Antioxidants like Vitamin C, E, or green tea help neutralize damage from pollution and blue light.
Tinted options can even out skin tone while offering protection—great for a no-makeup glow.

Lotion, cream, gel, stick, spray, serum—go with what feels good on your skin. The best sunscreen is the one you'll actually wear every day.

✨ Bonus Tip: If you wear makeup, look for sunscreens that double as primers—smooth finish, no pilling, and your glow stays locked in!
