What sunscreen should I use for extremely dry skin?
For extremely dry skin, it’s best to choose a sunscreen that is both hydrating and offers broad-spectrum protection. Look for products that contain moisturising ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, or ceramides, as these can help to keep your skin hydrated while protecting it from the sun. A cream or lotion formula is usually more beneficial than a gel, as it can provide a thicker barrier and additional moisture.
Key points:
- Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen for complete protection.
- Look for hydrating ingredients to help with dryness.
- Cream or lotion formulas are more suitable for dry skin.
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours for best results.
