All it takes is a little know-how to find the perfect sun protection for your complexion.

"In general, people with oily skin should avoid sunscreens that contain oil, as adding more oil to already-oily skin will increase the risk of clogged pores and acne breakouts," advises cosmetic dermatologist and Mohs surgeon Dr. Dendy Engelman. "Look for products that are labeled 'non comedogenic,' as this indicates that they are formulated not to clog pores." She adds, "Oily skin types will benefit from mattifying sunscreens, like powder or solid formulas. These help absorb excess oil and tend to be easier to reapply throughout the day for additional protection and to reduce shine."

Here, we've rounded up some of the best sunscreens for people with oily skin, to keep you protected all season long.
