Which # SPF should I use for my face?

Some ingredients in sun protection products can lead to oily skin and even cause breakouts on the face or on the body. First, look for a product that is labeled non-comedogenic. Non-comedogenic simply means that the formula won’t clog pores. Second, make sure it is oil-free. Sunblocks that contains oil can clog pores, resulting in breakouts. The ingredient PABA has been found to cause skin irritation in many individuals, so you may also want to avoid this ingredient.

Here are two Neutrogena sunblock products that can use on your body and your face.

Any sunblock can be used on the face, unless you have sensitive or acne prone skin. Then, look for ones specifically for that.

The face gets burned the most easily since it is the most exposed. Use at least SPF 25.

There are some kinds that you can use for your face, so just look for them because they arent rare or anything. Use SPF 15 for your face. I heard (Im not sure its reliable or not, though) that the sunblock isnt exactly good for your skin either, but its either that or bad sunburn...
