Oily Skin: Avoid Sunscreen Gels "If you suffer from oily skin, it's all about the formulation," says cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Shereene Idriss of Union Square Derm. "The last thing you want to do is aggravate a breakout by trying to protect your skin." To avoid unwanted pimples and irritation, Idriss recommends avoiding sunscreens in gel form, which often contain alcohol that can dry out the skin. Instead, she recommends looking for lighter lotion sunscreens like Cane + Austin SPF 50 Face Sunscreen, $40, which helps provide necessary SPF 50 and boasts a practically weightless formula.
