Sunscreens are an absolute essential – not only do they protect your skin from the sun and tanning, it prevents photo-aging and prevents cancer. Despite its heroic properties, many people still prefer skipping the SPF, or worse just using a makeup product with SPF. (A makeup product in itself won’t protect your skin.) The number one problem for this is the greasy texture that often results in breakouts. While some mineral sunscreens clog your pores, other chemical sunscreens skin irritates the skin. There’s no winning for the acne-prone skin type – you can’t live with it, you can’t live without it, right? Wrong! Turns out, there may just be some light, effective sunscreens that do a thorough job of protecting your skin, without giving you any acne. Read on!
