Sunscreen is a must to block the harmful UV rays that we'll all face this summer. However, more often than not, we find that while the thick, white moisturizers protect our skin from sun damage, they can also wreak havoc on our pores. Sometimes they even increase the amount of oils on our faces leaving us with a heavy, greasy feeling! For those of us that already have oily/acne prone skin, this combination can be a disaster. Thanks to a few fantastic beauty brands we at Glam Damn It have found the solution! Below are some of our favorite top-rated sunscreens suitable for oily/acne prone skin and can even help to reduce the excess oils! Keep your skin clean and serene this summer.
