Shopping for sunscreen for teenagers is filled with questions. Which SPF is best for teenagers? Should they wear sunscreen every day? Which sunscreen is best for spot-prone teenage skin?
To make it easy for teens (and their parents!), we offer a skin-balancing, natural sunscreen that works for all ages and skin types - oily skin, spot-prone complexions AND sensitive skin!
Best face sunscreen for teenagers
Sunscreen is essential for protecting teen skin but teens with combination or oily skin can find it tricky to find a sunscreen that doesn’t block pores, due to the waterproofing petrochemicals used in many brands of sun cream. Concerns about spotty complexions can also make teenagers reluctant to keep their sun protection topped up.
To help teens shield their skin from the sun without worrying about spots, Green People uses natural non-irritating ingredients that help to bring balance to teenage skin.
Our favourite SPF30 sunscreen for teenage skin is Mineral Sun Cream SPF30. Offering 100% mineral, high-factor protection, its filters deflect 97% of burning UVB rays by sitting on top of the skin, rather than being absorbed into easily congested teen pores. Its innovative formula means that it isn’t whitening either!
Scent-free and oh-so gentle on sensitive teen skin, it is an ideal facial sunscreen for teens prone to spots. Natural Chamomile calms while soothing, anti-inflammatory Green Tea helps to stop blackheads from forming.

When should teens start applying SPF?
According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, getting sunburnt just once in childhood or adolescence doubles your chances of getting skin cancer in later life.[1] So it really is never too early to start shielding your skin from sun damage.
Teens that get into the habit of making SPF the last step in their skin routine early will glad they did when they are protected against sunburn and have a lower risk of melanoma, a cancer caused by exposure to UV light from the sun and sun beds.
