**Can you recommend the best sun cream for oily, breakout prone skin? I can't stand the cloying feeling of sunscreen on my face, but don't want to keep skipping it.

And neither should you! I totally understand how lots of sunscreens can feel sticky and too heavy for oily skins. But skipping this step is not only potentially dangerous for your skin health, but will also exacerbate oiliness and create inflammation that can trigger more breakouts.
The key is to avoid heavy, rich textured products that will make your skin feel slick and look overly shiny. The right sunscreen contains skin balancing ingredients alongside broad-spectrum UVA/UVB filters to shield you from damaging UV rays.**
