Powder sunscreens are your scalp's best friend.

Yes, you can avoid greasy sunscreen — try a powder sunscreen (brush-on or spray) or a sunscreen stick for your hairline.

Powder sunscreens are basically mattifying mineral SPF in a brush or loose form. They absorb oil instead of adding more, so your scalp doesn’t look or feel greasy. Just brush it along your part and hairline. Reapply like you would any sunscreen.

Sunscreen sticks (think deodorant-stick format but SPF) also work well along your hairline and the top of your ears. They go on waxy, not oily, and don’t drip into your eyes.

If you’re bald or very thin on top, a wide-brim hat is still the best solution, but for parts and hairlines, powder or stick is the answer.

Your part doesn’t have to look like an oil slick to stay protected.
