Oily Skin During Summer? Here’s Your Sunscreen Solution

Oily skin during summer is one of the most unlikely combinations. Sweat, heat, oil & clogged pores can make it harder to find a perfect sunscreen. Most sunscreens make your face feel heavy, clog the pores or result in a white cast. Finding the right sunscreen for oily skin can be a real lifesaver when it comes to combating sunburn while keeping excess oil under control.

Does Oily Skin Need a Specially Formulated Sunscreen?

Yes, the reason is simple—like any other skincare product formulated for oily skin, sunscreen is also made keeping in mind that oily skin is prone to acne, which tends to get more activated during humidity & harsh summer heat. Choosing a heavy sunscreen can make these problems worse. So, you have to be smart about what kind of sunscreen to choose. Here are a few things a sunscreen should have to perfectly suit an oily skin type:

  • Oil-Free & Non-Comedogenic: Prevents clogged pores and breakouts. Won’t add excess oil to the skin.
  • Lightweight or Gel-Based Formula: Absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy finish. Gel or water-based formulas work best.
  • Matte or Shine-Free Finish: Controls oil throughout the day and keeps the skin looking fresh. Ideal under makeup.
  • SPF 30 or Higher: Provides effective protection from sun damage. Choose broad-spectrum for UVA and UVB defense.
  • Sweat & Water Resistant (Optional): Helpful for longer wear in hot or humid weather.
  • Fragrance-Free or Minimal Additives: Reduces chances of irritation or allergic reactions.

Suggested Application for Oily Skin

To get the most out of it, begin with a gentle cleanser and make sure it’s fragrance-free. Then proceed with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. To begin with, the sunscreen application's preferred way will be to use a two-finger method.

According to the two-finger sunscreen application method, squeeze sunscreen along the length of two fingers and apply it all over one section of your body, like your face/neck. Reapply every 2-3 hours if you are outside or if you are sweating. Easy to use under makeup—it's non-greasy, lightweight, and oil-free, which is the reason why makeup stays on for longer and does not melt through the sunscreen.
