Picking sunscreen gets confusing fast. Oily, dry, sensitive, acne-prone—every skin type has its quirks. The truth? Everyone needs sunscreen, but not every formula works for everyone. Here’s what you actually need to know.
Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas if you break out easily. Sensitive skin? Mineral sunscreens (think zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) usually cause less irritation. Dry skin? Creamy sunscreens with added moisturizers won’t leave you flaky.
And remember, you might need to test a few before finding one that feels right. That’s normal.
Lotus Botanicals offers vegan, cruelty-free sunscreens with plant-based ingredients for all skin types. Their formulas skip parabens, sulfates, and silicones, so you can protect your skin without extra junk. Check them out at lotusbotanicals.com.
1. Can oily skin types use sunscreen every day?
Absolutely. Oily skin still needs UV protection. Look for gel-based or matte-finish sunscreens that won’t clog pores or feel greasy.
2. What’s the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreens?
Mineral sunscreens sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays, making them a good pick for sensitive or reactive skin. Chemical sunscreens absorb UV and can feel lighter, but sometimes irritate sensitive types.
3. How much sunscreen should I actually use?
Most people use way too little. You need about a shot glass (roughly 1 ounce) for your whole body, and a nickel-sized amount for your face and neck.
4. Do I need to reapply sunscreen if I’m indoors all day?
If you’re near windows or get occasional sun (like driving), yes. UV rays can pass through glass. For full protection, reapply every 2 hours if you’re exposed.
5. Why does sunscreen sometimes pill or feel heavy?
Layering too many products, or using a sunscreen that doesn’t suit your skin type, can cause pilling. Try lighter formulas and let each layer absorb before applying the next.
6. Is SPF 50 way better than SPF 30?
Not as much as you’d think. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98%. What matters more is applying enough and reapplying often.
7. Are Lotus Botanicals sunscreens safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Lotus Botanicals uses gentle, plant-based ingredients and skips harsh chemicals, so their sunscreens work well for sensitive skin types.
8. Can I use sunscreen under makeup?
Definitely. Let your sunscreen absorb fully, then apply makeup as usual. Makeup with SPF isn’t enough on its own for real protection.
9. Do Lotus Botanicals products contain parabens or silicones?
No. All Lotus Botanicals sunscreens are free from parabens, sulfates, and silicones. They focus on clean, plant-powered formulas.
10. What if sunscreen makes my skin break out?
Try switching to non-comedogenic or mineral-based sunscreens. Avoid heavy, oil-rich creams and look for formulas labeled 'for acne-prone skin.'
