Sunscreen for sensitive skin
One of the essential skills is to know through some important ingredients in cosmetics. If you have sensitive skin, the ingredients you need to stay away from are oxybenzone and PABA, which means you should say no to chemical sunscreens. Usually physical sunscreens often contain very little ingredients that cause skin irritation, and that will be the right choice for you.
Sunscreen for dry skin
For dry skin, choosing a sunscreen that contains moisturizers for the skin is essential. However, dry skin is prone to aging and wrinkling after sun exposure, so even if you use sunscreen containing skin conditioners, you should still apply more moisturizer before using sunscreen.

In addition, you should not use greasy, glossy, gel-based creams, but instead have a light and oil-free cream texture.

If you wear makeup a lot, you should choose a physical sunscreen or a chemical hybrid so that you don't have to reapply it every 2 hours, reapplying sunscreen on top of your makeup will look weird, and you can't do it every 2 hours. remove makeup to apply IZ and then make up again. If your skin is oily and you are worried about reducing the effectiveness of your sunscreen, using blotting paper and then dusting with a powder with SPF15-20 is enough. Currently, most powders have SPF in that range. If your skin is not oily and doesn't sweat too much, just leave it alone.
If you do not or little makeup, have oily skin and hate feeling greasy, you can choose a chemical sunscreen. But you should always remember to reapply the cream every 2-3 hours if you are out in the sun for a long time.
