Sunscreens are an essential part of skin care routine in summers.However,girls in general avoid sunscreen because it increases oil and dulls the complexion.So,I decided to share a sunscreen with you which works great for Oilies.
I have been using this sunscreen for quite sometime now.The thing I like the best about it is the texture.It has such a silky feel like a primer.It makes your makeup go on so smoothly that you can skip a primer for sure. In fact when I am wearing this one I always skip my primer.
You can see the swatch in the photos below.The second photo gives a fair idea of how the skin looks immediately after using the sunscreen.In the last photo,I dabbed a little with a tissue paper.On my face I don't use the tissue ,but just put on some powder foundation or liquid one(whichever I want according to the occasion).
I just love the glow it gives to my skin.I guess the glow is because of all the silicone in it.Under the makeup the beauty of this product shows as a dewy finish.A small problem is shine on T-zone, but since makeup stays put over this sunscreen the shine doesn't look ugly .Dab on a little with a blotting paper or tissue and the shine goes away.
2-It has high PA factor,(PA+++), which protects against UVA radiations(the cause of premature aging and wrinkles).
3-It is non greasy formula.
4-It controls sebum/oil on face.
5-Improves skin texture.Feels,looks and functions like a primer.
6-Doesn't cause break outs.
7-Water Resistant
8-Hypo allergic so good for sensitive skin too.
RATING:
SPECTRABAN SUNSCREEN SPF 40
Price =PKR1800

As you can see in the photos it is a gel based sunscreen and absorbs in the skin.It doesn't stay on top at all.No white cast at all.
DeleteWow! Sounds like a great thing. I saw this in Naheed a while back, but shyed away from it because it was expensive. Maybe I'll go back for it. xx

no dear this will not darken the spots.It will settle matte finish but with a little natural glow.As for black spots due to dettol it was a one time damage and sunblock will protect against further damage to your sensitive skin from sun.
