Hi Reshms,

Sunscreen suggestions for your dlin type; Re’equil Ultra Matte Dry Touch Gel Sunscreen Eucerin Sun Oil Control Gel‑Cream SPF 50

Moisturisers: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel La Roche-Posay Effaclar Matte

You should wait a few minutes (about 2-3 min) after moisturizer so it settles a bit (not too wet), then apply sunscreen. The idea is sunscreen adheres properly.

Then Can You Wash Off After Some Time?

Moisturizer is meant to stay on your skin until your next face wash. It keeps working by locking in hydration and supporting your skin barrier. Do don’t wash off moisturiser from your skin

I hope thud helps Feel free to ask Thank you

Dear Reshma , Kindly use Sunscreens thrice daily if you are exposed to sun often Moisturisers better to use it on daily purpose As far as sunscreen is considered SPF 50% will be ideal and examples such as RADIBAN NANO GEL is good Moisturisers anything is fine Take care

Hello Reshma, thank you for sharing your concern. I understand your situation and here is some advise from my side -

Sunscreen - Re’equil Ultra Matte Sunscreen. This is good for oily skin, for both in winters and summers. This will be good enough for you. But still, if you need separate sunscreens for winter and summer, then ask in the reply section, I’ll let you know.

Moisturizer - Excela Moisturizer.

Feel free to reach out again.

Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Med

Choosing the right sunscreen and moisturizer for oily to combination skin involves a few key considerations. For sunscreens, in both winter and summer, look for options that offer broad-spectrum protection with at least SPF 30. Gel-based or liquid formulas tend to work well for oily skin, as they’re lightweight and won’t clog pores. Ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are beneficial as they’re less likely to cause breakouts. Non-comedogenic and oil-free labels are essential to minimize the risk of acne. Products like Mineral-based sunscreens or those specifically formulated for oily skin can provide a matte finish which helps in summer humidity. When it comes to moisturizers, look for non-greasy, water-based options. A good choice would be a moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid or glycerin, as they hydrate the skin without adding extra oiliness. Applying a light moisturizer in the morning after cleansing, before the sunscreen, is generally a good routine. As for timing, you should apply your moisturizer and wait about 5 to 10 minutes before applying sunscreen; this ensures that the moisturizer has adequately absorbed into the skin, creating a good base for sunscreen. If you’re considering washing your face after moisturizer, it’s generally not recommended as you may strip the skin of necessary moisture and protection. Instead, if needed, you can blot excess oils throughout the day with blotting papers. Remember, even if your skin is oily, hydration is essential to maintain skin barrier integrity and function. If you have specific concerns, like persistent acne, consulting with a dermatologist might provide tailored advice aligned with your skin’s specific needs.
