JAKARTA - Using a comfortable sunscreen is very important to ensure optimal skin protection every day. But unfortunately, not a few people are reluctant to wear sunscreen because the texture is too heavy or leaves a sticky taste on the skin.

Therefore, choosing a product with a mild formula, absorbable easily, and not leaving a white cast is the main factor in finding the ideal sunscreen.

Here are some tips in choosing the right sunscreen:

Choose sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 and PA+++. This SPF and PA+++ is a determining formula so that sunscreen can optimally protect the skin from UVA and UVB exposures.

Water or gel-based sunscreen is usually lighter and more comfortable, especially for oily skin. With a mild formula and texture resembling water, it is easy to absorb without leaving a white cast or sticky taste.

"This unique formula also prevents pilling and provides final healthy results that are suitable for use before makeup," said Irene Ursula, Founder of Beauty Huul Group in a press statement from the WaterBarrier Sunscreen UV Agriculture to VOI.

Not only about SPF or PA content, the content of sunscreen such as antioxidants, moisturizers and other protective formulas can also provide more benefits to the skin.

For oily skin owners, sunscreen with light gel or water-based texture is the right choice. A non-medogenic formula can help control excess oil production without clogging the pores.

"Sunscreens based on water or gels are usually lighter and more comfortable, especially for oily skin. This sunscreen is already available exclusively on the Shopee Amaterasun Official Store platform from February 24 to March 3, 2025," added Irene.

Meanwhile, dry skin requires sunscreen with moisturizing content such as hyaluronic acid or ceramide to stay hydrated throughout the day. Meanwhile, sensitive skin tends to be more prone to irritation, so it is recommended to use sunscreen made from minerals or physical sunscreen.

Fragrant and alcohol-free formulas are also safer to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. As for acne skin owners, it is important to choose oil-free and non-commedogenic sunscreens so as not to worsen skin conditions.
