Suggest Ideal Sunscreen Lotion For Oily Skin

Posted on Wed, 12 Oct 2016

Question: Which is the best SunScreen lotion for me.

I am a male, 33 yrs, oily skin. I had used sun screens like - "UV CARE SPF 26+" in the past. but I think I got pimples after using (MAY be due to the stickiness I think). Pls suggest a good sun screen for my oily skin. I got to spend 6-7 hours in hot sun outdoor. also pls instruct in detail, how to use it & how much to use it

Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I would recommend you to use suncros soft gel or la shield sunscreen gel.
Both are good and effective sunscreens for oily skin.
You can use either of the above.
It has to be used on the entire face at intervals of 3-4 hours during the day time.
The amount to be applied should be sufficient to cover the entire face. Usually 3 ml of the sunscreen is enough to cover entire face area.
I hope to have answered your queries and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
