Benefits of Oil-free Sunscreen & Oil-free Skin Care Products

Our skin is the largest organ of our body and an incredibly complex system. Embracing good skin care products, including sunscreen, is essential. There are many different reasons to use oil-free products in your skin care routine especially if you're prone to breakouts.

Oil-free products nourish and renew your skin without clogging pores or adding extra shine/grease and are typically light in consistency.

By using oil-free skin care products, you help balance your skin, preventing an increase in oil, yet providing adequate hydration to prevent your skin from drying out. Unlike many oil-based products, oil-free formulations tend to absorb faster, allowing hydration to skin without clogging pores.

Additionally, oil-free products are ideal for most skin types, including sensitive, normal, oily and combination.

Why choose an oil-free sunscreen?

The Canadian, American and Australian Colleges of Dermatology all recommend using sunscreen when outdoors and choosing an oil-free sunscreen. Often, manufacturers add natural oils to sunscreens to give them a smoother texture and provide hydration. While this could be beneficial for individuals with very dry skin, it can cause acne-like eruptions (pimples) when applied to oily or acne-prone skin. For those prone to acne, gels, lotions or products labelled "oil-free" or "non-comedogenic" are recommended.

This is an excellent product for what I needed. I needed some type of sunscreen that I could apply halfway through my 4 hour rounds of golf that would sink in and would not get my hands greasy and this is it. It is a light spray that I can use on my face, neck, arms, etc." - Susan H

You'll need to apply the sunscreen at least every 80 minutes, especially when sweating, if you're spending time in the water and after towel-drying. And for those who prefer the easy application of a spray-on sunscreen instead of a lotion that you have to spread by hand, our non-aerosol formula has got you covered.

Best Sunscreen for Outdoor Workers

Sunscreen is essential all year long, and it becomes especially important if you are spending more time outdoors. Outdoor workers are at risk of greater UV exposure, and shouldn't be stepping outdoors without that final element of sun protection. Many outdoor workers, however, avoid using sunscreen having been tired of the slick, sticky feeling present in most formulas.

When you spend that much time in the sun, you need the best non-greasy, sweat-resistant sunscreen that can provide maximum protection without causing irritation. Our oil-free formula is specially designed for an active lifestyle and is great for any outdoor activity. It delivers broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and goes on feeling light, absorbs quickly, and is appropriate for all skin types, even those with especially sensitive or dry skin. The non-greasy, fast-absorbing characteristics of our sunscreens will ensure grip is retained when handling tools, equipment and other tasks.

The lightweight pump spray is also easy to apply especially when covering those hard to reach places. It comes in a compact 1oz bottle that is small enough to fit in pocket or tool belt for reapplication throughout the day. It's an ideal solution if you're looking for a sunscreen to take on the go.

Summary

As sunscreen is an integral part of a sun protection regimen, it's crucial to ensure that the product you choose will fit your particular needs. The oil-free KINeSYS Performance Sunscreen is your best option for shielding from the sun's dangerous UVA and UVB rays while preventing clogging of pores.
