Matt sunscreen

Matte sunscreen is a type of sunscreen that is designed to leave your skin with a matte finish, meaning it does not have the shiny or greasy appearance that some sunscreens can have. This makes it a popular choice for people with oily or acne-prone skin, as it can help to control shine and prevent breakouts. Matte sunscreens are also often preferred by people who wear makeup, as they can create a smooth base for foundation and other products.  

Benefits of matte sunscreen:

• Controls shine and oil  
• Prevents breakouts
• Creates a smooth base for makeup
• Can be used on oily or acne-prone skin  
• Available in a variety of SPF levels  

How to choose a matte sunscreen:

When choosing a matte sunscreen, it is important to consider your skin type and needs. If you have oily skin, look for a sunscreen that is oil-free and non-comedogenic. If you have sensitive skin, look for a sunscreen that is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. It is also important to choose a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.  

How to use matte sunscreen:

Apply matte sunscreen liberally to your face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every two hours, or more often if you are swimming or sweating.
