Which Sunscreen Is Right for My Skin Type? Keita Beauty’s Guide to Safe & Glowing Skin| Insights from Halifax’s Skincare Experts | Facials, Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Intuitive Facial Massage
Sunscreen isn’t just for beach days—it’s a daily must-have in every skincare routine, year-round. But not all sunscreens are created equal. If you’ve ever wondered “Which sunscreen is best for my skin type?”—you’re not alone. At Keita Beauty, we believe sunscreen should feel good on your skin and work for your unique needs.
Here’s how to choose the right one:
For Oily or Acne-Prone Skin:
Go for: Lightweight, gel-based, or mineral sunscreens labeled “non-comedogenic”
These formulas won’t clog pores or trigger breakouts. Look for ingredients like zinc oxide, niacinamide, or silica to help control shine.
Keita Recommends: A mattifying SPF 50 mineral sunscreen—perfect under makeup or on its own.
For Dry or Dehydrated Skin:
Go for: Hydrating sunscreens with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides
Cream-based or lotion formulas help restore the moisture barrier while shielding you from UV damage. Keita Recommends: A nourishing SPF with added antioxidants to hydrate and protect.
For Sensitive or Rosacea-Prone Skin:
Go for: Mineral (physical) sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide
These are gentler on reactive skin and less likely to cause stinging or redness. Avoid fragrances and alcohols.
Keita Recommends: A fragrance-free mineral SPF that calms and soothes while protecting.
For Darker Skin Tones:
Go for: Sheer or tinted mineral sunscreens to avoid the dreaded white cast
Newer formulations blend beautifully without compromising protection.
Keita Recommends: A lightweight, tinted SPF that blends in invisibly while evening skin tone.
Bonus Tips from Keita Beauty:
Always apply sunscreen as the final step in your skincare routine (and before makeup).
Reapply every 2 hours if you’re outdoors, sweating, or swimming.
Don’t forget your neck, ears, and hands—they age too!
Skincare Is a Lifestyle—And SPF Is the Foundation
Think of sunscreen as your daily anti-aging serum, acne scar protector, and glow preserver. No matter your skin type, there’s a perfect SPF out there—and we’ll help you find it.
