What to Look For

Awesome! If you have normal or combination skin, you have a bit more flexibility—lucky you! 😊 The key is finding a sunscreen that keeps your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) from getting oily, while still being hydrating enough for any drier areas (like the cheeks).

Here’s how to choose the best sunscreen for normal/combination skin:


What to Look For:

  • Lightweight, non-greasy formulas

  • Broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher

  • Hydrating ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid (without being heavy)

  • Oil-free or non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)

  • Fast-absorbing with a smooth, satin or natural finish


πŸ’‘ Top Sunscreen Types for You:

  • Lotion or fluid textures (not too creamy, not too dry)

  • Gel-cream hybrids – give hydration without heaviness

  • Hybrid sunscreens – combine physical + chemical filters for balanced protection


🌟 Highly Recommended Sunscreens for Normal/Combination Skin:

1. Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40

  • Totally invisible, velvety matte finish

  • Doubles as a makeup primer

  • Ideal for everyday use
    🌈 Great if you want something that disappears into your skin.


2. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 55

  • Lightweight & dries quickly

  • Non-greasy and works well under makeup
