Skin Care Tip: Of all the categories of skin care products, sunscreens are the most likely to cause negative skin reactions on the skin. And mostly, it’s rashes or acne breakouts from the use of sunscreen. The good news is there have been a lot of advancements in sun protecting ingredients, so if you still shy away from sunscreens because of past bad experiences, you just haven’t found the right one yet—but they are out there!

My skin is oily in the t-zone, and even at 41, my oil production hasn’t slowed down too much yet. I have my own built-in moisturizer which is considered to be a good thing, but I also have to be very careful with skin because I’m definitely very sensitive, prone to acne breakouts and clogged pores. So using a lightweight, gentle sunscreen is an absolute must for me and the best ingredient to offer that is Zinc Oxide. It’s chemical-free, offers excellent UV protection and dries to a matte finish…

So if you’re like me and have to be very careful about what you put on your skin, look for formulas with at least 5% Zinc Oxide as they won’t clog the pores, feel heavy on the skin or cause irritation or rashes. Try my very, very favorite sunscreen in the world—Daily Protection SPF 30 with 7% Zinc Oxide. Trust me, your skin will love it. It’s one of our best-selling products!

  1. I am a Renee Rouleau product fan! I am slowly turning my husband into one as well. I use Renee’s products daily and can tell the difference in my skin when I don’t.

    My only issue with the Daily SPF 30 is that I don’t have that matte look when I use it. I know I should, but after using it I have a tendency to look a little oily. I too have naturally oily skin, especially in the T-zone.

    Anyway, Hooray for RR!

  2. We promote that it dries to a matte finish, since for sunscreens it does. It’s impossible to have a sunscreen give a true dry feel on the skin since in order to the give the proper UV protection, the skin must be “coated.” But it’s as light as you’ll find and most importantly, it won’t clog the pores. But thank you for the feedback!
