The best sunscreen for sensitive skin in Saudi Arabia | A selection guide from Lafeminette

Daily sun exposure in Saudi Arabia is not something to be ignored, especially for those with sensitive skin that reacts quickly to heat and UV rays. Choosing the best sunscreen for sensitive skin is no longer just an extra step in your routine, but a necessity to protect your skin from redness, irritation, and long-term pigmentation. In this guide, we'll help you understand the needs of your sensitive skin and how to choose the right sunscreen , while also presenting a practical solution from Laviminette specifically designed for this skin type.

What is the best sunscreen for sensitive skin?

For sensitive skin, choose a sunscreen with a high protection factor (SPF 50+), preferably mineral (zinc or titanium), free of perfumes and alcohol, with soothing ingredients such as ceramides, aloe vera, or thermal water. Some of the best brands that offer suitable options include Laviment, with a focus on light formulas that do not clog pores and avoid irritation and redness.

Why does sensitive skin need special care with sunscreen?

Sensitive skin is characterized by a weaker skin barrier than others, making it more susceptible to reacting to external factors, especially the sun. Therefore, it needs a protective barrier to shield it from sunlight.

Common problems for sensitive skin with the sun

Rapid redness after exposure
burning or tingling sensation
Sudden appearance of spots or irritation

Allergic reaction to some ingredients

Many traditional sunscreens contain:

synthetic perfumes
Drying alcohol
Powerful chemical filters

These are ingredients that sensitive skin may not tolerate, making choosing the formula more important than just choosing SPF.
