How to choose the right sunscreen for your skin type?

Okay, let’s be real - choosing sunscreen isn’t exactly the most thrilling task, but it does matter if you don’t want to fry like a piece of toast or start noticing weird little wrinkles way too soon. So, how do you pick one that actually works for you? Let me break it down real quick:

• If your skin’s on the oily side, go for something light. Think oil-free, maybe a gel - nobody wants their face turning into a disco ball halfway through the day.
• Dry skin? You’ll need a sunscreen that doubles as a moisturizer. Stuff with hyaluronic acid or glycerin usually does the trick. Basically, give your skin a drink and protection.
• Sensitive? Yeah, skip the heavily perfumed stuff. Mineral sunscreens are your friend here - look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide on the label. They don’t usually cause drama.
• Super fair or burn if you look at the sun wrong? Broad-spectrum, SPF 50 or higher. No excuses.

Oh - and seriously, reapply every couple of hours. Especially after swimming or sweating like you’ve been running a marathon. Throw on a hat or chill in the shade if you can. Trust me, your future self will thank you.
