When you are out in the sunlight, your skin gets damaged, dry and unhealthy. Your travel plans mean a lot of sun exposure for your skin which eventually leads to skin damage. But this doesn’t mean that you can not protect your skin from getting damaged when on the go. You can drink a lot of water to maintain the pH of your skin, stay calm and use the best sunscreens for your skin type. Best sunscreen will provide a protective layer to your skin. Check which one is for your skin type.
Best Sunscreens For Normal Skin

VLCC Anti-Tan Sunscreen Lotion is a good sunscreen. It nourishes your skin and it is affordable. VLCC Anti-Tan Sunscreen is enriched with lemon extracts that help in the oil control making it one of the best sunscreens for oily skin types. The only con in this sunscreen lotion is that the SPF is low which is 25. Apart from that, the sunscreen contains zinc oxide that provides heavy protection from the sun when applied. The problem is that you will have to reapply it on your skin after two-three hours. It is light on your skin and the packaging is travel-friendly.

A small quantity goes a long way so the tube will last for a long time. It doesn’t leave a whitish residue when applied on the skin. The only con is that it is a little expensive for the quantity provided.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 50
Neutrogena is one of my favourite brands and for me, it has been reliable throughout. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 50 has a creamy texture that makes it easier to spread evenly and absorb easily. It does not leave any residue since it is light and non-sticky. It offers an SPF of 50. Since it provides a broad spectrum, it provides protection from UV-A and UV-B rays. It also helps in controlling the skin ageing since extra melanin is not produced. I love the fragrance of this sunscreen. You can easily apply it on a sunny day and not worry about your skin getting oily. The only con in this sunscreen is that it does not give a full matte finish. So if that doesn’t bother you, go for it. It is the best way to start your day.
These sunscreens will not only save your day but also make your skin healthier. But make sure you choose the correct sunscreens for your skin. A sunscreen that is good for oily skin may not be good for dry skin or sensitive skin. Read your skin before buying the product.
