SPF for Oily Skin
Since many SPFs offer a heavy and moisturised finish, it’s important to choose something that is oil free. This will reduce shine and prevent congestion in the warmer seasons. Gel and mousse formulations are also a great pick for those with over productive sebaceous glands.

SPF for Dry Skin
Mature or dry skin types often relish a healthy dose of suncream. The added hydration and silky texture can create a soft and nourished base. Cream sunscreens are the best choice to prevent further dryness. Many moisturisers for dry skins contain SPF already, but we always recommend using an additional SPF, particularly in summer.
