You’ve probably heard this many times so it might not feel like news for you, but you MUST wear sunscreen for face 365 days a year, no matter if it’s summer, winter, you are staying at home, or embarking on a road trip with your gang.
If there’s something I wouldn’t get tired of repeat is that applying sunscreen is the most necessary step in order to have a good yet safe skincare routine, no matter your skin type or skin concern. Lucky you, we have discovered a new, safe, and clean SPF that won’t disappoint any of you either you are from the acne team or the sensible one. I have acne-prone skin, and to be honest, fast forward a few years ago, I used to think that applying sunscreen wouldn’t do any good for my oily face. In fact, like most of you, I was worried about breakouts flaring up all over.
Looking for honest insights, Rachael Tyers, Co-Founder of tbh Skincare says that soon after the launch of tbh, they did a call out to their customer base to see what product they were in need of the most. The response was almost unanimous. Everyone wanted an non comedogenic sunscreen that they could use daily, and most importantly that worked well with oily and breakout-prone skin. best sunscreen for face
Acne is so much more than a battle with your skin, and we are here to help you fight it! We know no one likes having pimples, but did you realize how widespread acne’s impact on a person’s quality of life is? The tbh Skincare team says.
Is tbh sunscreen good for acne?
Having acne myself, I can say safe and sound that sunscreen helps prevent scarring and discolouration. According to the British Journal of Dermatology, people suffering from acne are at a 63% higher risk of developing major depression within the first year of developing symptoms, compared with individuals without acne.
The key here is to look out for formulas like tbh that is oil-free, contain natural minerals, or are seen as non-comedogenic, which basically means that they won’t clog your pores and it’s a great sunscreen for sensitive acne skin. These formulas will still offer your problematic skin with an incredible dose of protection from both UVA and UVB rays, so you can be yourself and be aware that your skin will be protected from the free radicals that end up in wrinkles (no, thanks), pigmentation and, potentially, skin cancer, while maintaining any pimples at bay.
These are the 5 ingredients you should avoid in your SPF:
- Coconut
- Soybean oils
- Beeswax
- Lanolin
- Cocoa butter
Is chemical or physical sunscreen better for acne-prone skin?
Many sunscreens now combine both chemical and physical ingredients to ensure a truly thorough barrier against the sun; these make sense, right?
Indeed, mineral sunscreen and chemical sunscreen both protect your skin from the sun; however, the way they do that on a scientific level is very different, so getting to know your skin and the way it reacts to a specific formulation really depends on you, the best advice then for acne-prone skin will be to go for a formula that is lightweight and oil-free.
