Sunscreen is one of the most important skincare products you can use, as it helps protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. Skipping sunscreen can lead to long-term damage to the skin, which can be difficult to reverse. Therefore, it is important to make sunscreen a regular part of your skincare routine, even if you have acne-prone skin. However, with so many different types and brands of sunscreen on the market, it can be challenging to know which one is right for your skin.
