Sun Protection: The most important thing when selecting a sunscreen is to make sure it provides full spectrum protection against uva and uvb rays as these are what can damage skin and your underlying cells. Their are a number of sunscreens indicated for oily skin. Pay attention to key ingredients - those with zinc oxide provide instant protection as compared to chemical blocks which take time to become effective.
