PA (Protection Grade of UVA) measures the protection against UVA rays. There are 3 levels of PA+, PA++, PA+++, respectively, with weak UVA protection (4h), medium (8h) and strong (12h).
You should choose a sunscreen with both SPF and PA index for maximum sun protection.

You should wash your face with a specialized cleanser for oily skin. These cleansers work to deep clean the surface of the skin, inside the pores, remove dirt, sebum and oil on the skin, making the skin dry and smooth.
Help small pores, limit greasy secretion by using a cotton pad soaked in rose water or astringent essence to gently apply to the skin.
Apply extra layer of cream for oily skin. Like normal skin and dry skin, oily skin still needs regular care, especially the T-zone - where the oil is strongest with moisturizer before makeup, and they must be the right type for oily skin.
Use a primer for oily skin: Oil-free primers and foundations are the best options. In areas where the secretion is more oily, a slightly thicker layer of powder should be applied. Use your fingers to rub, gently touching the skin of your hands and face will make your makeup softer.
Use a powder with high coverage, good oil absorption: Helps smooth skin, not greasy, helps powder stick on the skin for a long time. It is recommended to use powdered powder for oily skin - the ultra-fine powder particles will have the ability to absorb sebum very well.
Before applying blush, you should look in the mirror and smile slightly to determine the top of your cheekbones. From the top of the cheekbones, blend the pink powder outward. Don't use too much and avoid colors that are too bright or too dark.
Apply lipstick: You should choose a lipstick color that matches your outfit, apply a little lip gloss in the middle of your lips to add a sexy touch.
