Humidity increases sweat production. When thick creams mix with sweat, they:
• Slide off
• Clog pores
• Feel suffocating
What Causes Greasiness?
• Heavy occlusives
• Thick cream bases
• High oil content
In tropical climates, lighter gel or fluid textures perform better.
What to Look For Instead
• Gel or water-based formula
• Matte finish
• Non-comedogenic
• Quick-absorbing texture
Climate-adapted sunscreens such as lightweight SPF 50 PA++++ formulations designed for humid weather are increasingly preferred.
