Sunscreen isn’t just a summer must-have—it’s a non-negotiable part of your daily skincare routine, especially here in sunny Florida. With so many options available, choosing the right sunscreen for your skin type can feel overwhelming. That’s why the skincare professionals at ImageLift® Tampa are here to help.
Our licensed Medical Aesthetician and Master Injector work together to provide expert guidance on choosing the best sun protection and skin treatments tailored to your needs—so you can enjoy a healthy, glowing complexion all summer long.
Step 1: Know Your Skin Type
Understanding your skin type helps you choose the most effective sunscreen:
Dry Skin: Feels tight or flaky, especially post-cleansing
Oily Skin: Shiny appearance, frequent breakouts, enlarged pores
Combination Skin: A mix of dry and oily zones
Sensitive Skin: Prone to irritation, redness, or itching
Step 2: Pick the Right Sunscreen Formula
Different formulations work better for different skin types:
Creams: Hydrating—great for dry or mature skin
Gels: Lightweight and non-comedogenic—ideal for oily or acne-prone skin
Sprays: Quick application but require thorough coverage
Mineral Sunscreens: Physical blockers like zinc oxide—safe for sensitive skin
Chemical Sunscreens: Lightweight, easily absorbed, and effective against UV rays
Step 3: Choose SPF & Broad-Spectrum Coverage
SPF 30 or higher is recommended to block around 97% of UVB rays
Look for broad-spectrum to protect against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays
Step 4: Match Features to Your Lifestyle
Water-Resistant: For swimming or heavy sweating
Oil-Free: Prevents clogged pores and breakouts
Fragrance-Free: Ideal for sensitive or allergy-prone skin
Tinted Formulas: Light coverage and tone-evening benefits
