Over the past year, i’ve really become consistent with wearing sunscreen. I used to believe the myth that if you had darker skin you didn’t need it (lies!!!), but I’ve realized that it’s an important step to protect your face regardless of the tone. I’ve tried using sunscreen in the past, but they all left my face looking chalky with a grey cast or were just too oily for my skin type. My past facial sunscreen fails deterred me from wearing sunscreen altogether for a while.
Now, after several trail and errors and samples, I don’t leave my house without wearing sunscreen. It’s a very important step in your skincare routine, especially if you large pores and want to keep them look small. In today’s post I want to share a few of my favorite moisturizers with SPF that are good if you have oily skin, like me.
- OLAY Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer SPF 25 (pictured above)
- MURAD Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15
- JOSIE MARAN Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47
- ORIGINS Dr. Andrew Weil For Origins™ Mega-Bright SPF 30 Skin Tone Correcting Oil-Free Moisturize
- SEPHORA COLLECTION 8 HR Mattifying Moisturizer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF20
Have you tried any of these? Let me know in the comments below?

thanks for this useful information. I don’t use too many skin products – but maybe i should try some of that once summer hits. thanks!
You should use SPF all year round!
I also bought into the dark skin idea. I also have made sunscreen an essential part of my daily routine.
So have I! I dont play with sun screen.
that is tricky…. spf for oily skin when I was younger I hated suncreen because it made my skin to oily, now that I am older I need the moisture and use it daily just to stop the wrinkles lol.
It’s crazy how our skin changes!
My mum always used Olay’s cream, so probably I would do same! have heard is amazing
So did mine!
These seem like really good products. I’LL THE HAVE to look into trying one.
It’s really good!
