If you’ve ever wondered how to choose sunscreen for your skin type (วิธี เลือก ครีม กันแดด ให้ เหมาะ กับ สภาพ ผิว, which is the term in Thai), you’re definitely not alone. With new formulas, higher SPF levels, and buzzwords like “mineral,” “hybrid,” and “encapsulated SPF,” picking the right sunscreen can feel confusing. Still, getting it right is essential to prevent dark spots, premature aging, and skin cancer.
Step 1: Know your skin type and daily routine
Oily or acne-prone skin usually prefers lightweight gels or non-comedogenic fluid sunscreens that control shine. Dry or mature skin benefits from creamy, hydrating textures with nourishing ingredients and antioxidants. Sensitive skin often does best with mineral (physical) filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which are gentle yet protective.
Your daily routine matters too. If you work outdoors or spend a lot of time in direct sun, dermatologists recommend broad-spectrum SPF 50+ with PA++++ protection against UVA and UVB rays. For mostly indoor days with occasional sun exposure, SPF 30+ may be enough—but only if you apply the correct amount and reapply every 2–3 hours.
Step 2: Look beyond SPF numbers
When choosing sunscreen for your skin type, don’t focus only on SPF. Check for:
- Broad-spectrum protection against UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays
- Lightweight, non-greasy texture that you’ll actually use every day
- Water and sweat resistance if you exercise or live in a hot, humid climate
- Modern technology, such as encapsulated filters that improve stability, comfort, and reduce irritation while still offering high protection.
Using enough product is just as important as the formula itself. Many skincare experts recommend the “two-finger rule” for the face and neck—squeezing sunscreen along two fingers to ensure adequate coverage.
Step 3: Learn from trusted resources like Amway
