Start with a clean face. Use a lightweight moisturizer if needed, then apply your sunscreen for oily skin as the last step before makeup. Be sure to use enough - about a coin-sized amount for your face and neck. If you are outside, reapply every two hours, especially after sweating or swimming. Lotus Botanicals sunscreens are made to feel light and work well even in humid weather, so you can use them daily without worrying about extra shine.
Keeping oily skin healthy means more than just sunscreen. Gentle cleansers and light serums can help balance oil and keep your skin clear. Lotus Botanicals offers sets that combine sunscreen with other skincare essentials, making it easy to build a routine that works for you.
