If you’re not using sunblock daily, you’re doing something wrong. It’s absolutely essential to wear protection on your skin every day- come rain or shine, your skin should be protected. The problem many people with combination skin or oily skin face is sunblock can make your face looks greasy, shiny and, worst of all, it can break you out. Solution found my shiny faced peeps and it goes by the name of Bioderma Photoderm AKN Mat SPF 30.
What It Is:
A high factor protection for daily use made specifically for the needs and concerns of combination to oily skin.
The Lowdown:
- protects against sunburn
- provides maximum protection for skin cells
- combats the onset of premature aging
- has a sebum regulating fluid that improves skin quality & helps keep skin clear & healthy
- long-term mattifying effect, no oily film, no white marks
- suitable for sensitive skin
- water resistant
Basically this sunblock not only protects your skin from the sun, but it also helps regulate oil production and works to prevent spots, so this will definitely not break you out if you’re prone to breakouts (LOVE that bit). I’ve found sunblocks that are suitable for my skin before, but I haven’t really loved anything until I came across this little guy.
I find it a bit thick and you do have to rub it in and blend it well (especially by your hairline and eyebrows), but once you blend it, it’s out of sight. Apply this before sun exposure and be sure to reapply every two to three hours if you’re in the sun. One thing is for sure, your skin will be shine free and zit free.
Side-note: This sunblock will not clear up existing breakouts, but it will not cause you to breakout further. Basically, it helps regulate oil production and helps prevent congested pores, which can cause you to breakout, but it doesn’t combat existing acne.
