Choose sunscreen according to your skin type and SPF

  Although choosing a sunscreen is a headache, you can consider whether this sunscreen is suitable for you from the following aspects.


  Dry skin: The focus is on moisturizing, so it is recommended to choose a moisturizing sunscreen. And do basic moisturizing work before sunscreen.


  Sensitive skin: focus on choosing less irritating sunscreen to minimize skin irritation. Physical sunscreen is the first choice, which will be safer.


  Oily skin: The focus is on oil control and refreshing. Waterproof and sweatproof are also important when necessary. Recommend oil-free formula or light texture chemical sunscreen.


  Usually, the bottle of sunscreen product will show its SPF and PA value. If there is only SPF, then this sunscreen cannot be sunscreen!


  SPF index is the detection index for UVB defense ability. The following coefficient represents the sun protection time. The higher the value, the longer the sun protection time.


  PA value refers to the ability to prevent UVA, the more + sign behind it, the stronger the sun protection ability. However, some European and American products will not mark the PA value but will write Broad Spectrum to indicate that it can prevent UVA.


  It’s not that the higher the SPF and PA index, the better! The higher the index, the heavier the burden on the skin, so choose according to different occasions.
