Best Sunscreens for Oily, Dry & Sensitive Skin Types

Not all sunscreens are created equal—your skin type determines which sunscreen feels comfortable and works effectively. Here’s a quick guide to choosing the best sunscreen for your skin type, with Bob & Bae picks for each.

For Oily Skin

Pick: Lightweight sprays or gels that don’t clog pores.

Try Bob & Bae Sunscreen Spray – zero greasiness, makeup-friendly, perfect for humid weather.

For Dry Skin

Pick: Creamy lotions with hydrating ingredients.

Go for Bob & Bae Full Face-to-Body Lotion – nourishing formula that doubles as a moisturizer.

For Sensitive Skin

Pick: Mild, fragrance-free, and pH-balanced formulas.

Pair with Bob & Bae Sunscreen Stick – soothing and gentle for delicate lips.

Quick Tips

  • Reapply every 2–3 hours outdoors.
  • Don’t skip sunscreen indoors—UVA rays penetrate windows.
  • Use enough product (coin-sized for face, 2 tbsp for body).
