If you hate the oily texture or white cast from sunscreens, then you’ll love these lightweight sunscreens that don’t feel greasy on skin.
This lightweight, oil-free sunscreen contains botanical ingredients chocked with antioxidants to protect skin against free radical damage. It also helps to mattify skin, so any makeup that goes on top of it remains fresh-looking for longer.
This sunscreen from Kiehl’s is great for sunscreen beginners, or anyone who hates the white cast which some sunscreens leave behind. It goes on almost like moisturiser, and doesn’t feel sticky even in our humid weather.
Another sunscreen with a good gel texture, the Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Gel is also waterproof and resists friction. The Aqua Booster Technology forms powerful bonds when it comes in contact with water or sweat, making it water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.
A sunscreen that works great on its own or as a makeup base, the HERA Sun Mate Protector not only prevents UVA and UVB from damaging skin. It contains anti-oxidant Anti-R Complex, to protect skin against environmental aggressors and pollution.
The Marshmallow Sun Cushion from LANEIGE, comes in a handy cushion form so you can even use it for touch-ups. The LANEIGE Water Screen technology also forms a moisture veil to prevent skin from drying out.
The latest iteration of the Global Suncare The Perfect Protector uses SynchroShield technology (similar to their Synchro Skin foundation series), which responds to changes in the environment. Essentially, it’s able to adjust itself based on the heat and moisture in the environment and skin, to form the ideal sun protection veil.
Local skincare company SIGI Skin started their brand with only three products, and this was one of it. The Morning Glow Sunscreen has an exceptionally lightweight texture that absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave any greasy feeling behind. It’s a good everyday sunscreen that hydrates and protect skin.
The Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence from Sunplay in slightly tinted with lilac pigments which blurs dullness and imparts a soft radiance to skin. Perfect for wearing under makeup!
This oil-free sunscreen is ideal for those with oilier skin types, and does not feel greasy when absorbed. White tea extract rich within its formula acts as an antioxidant to defend against free radical damage.
