Anti-blemish and combination acne-prone skin requires extra care when it comes to protection from UV rays. Using a sunscreen specifically formulated for this skin type can help to protect it from sun damage without clogging pores or causing breakouts. Look for sunscreens that are oil-free, non-comedogenic, and lightweight, with a high SPF rating. It's also important to reapply sunscreen throughout the day to ensure that the skin is protected from UV rays. Additionally, It's important to consider other sun protection measures such as seeking shade, wearing protective clothing and avoiding sun exposure during peak hours.
