In pursuit of the perfect sunscreen + Product Information



Exposure to sun is one of the major factors of skin ageing. Some researchers claim that up to 80 % skin aging is caused by harmful UV rays, and that is mind boggling. The dangers of harmful UV rays range from dark spots, freckles & wrinkles to even skin cancer. It is very important to protect our skin from the sun on day to day basis. Today I am going to tell you guys about some of the sunscreens available in the market, hoping to help you pick the right one for you.
Why do I have so many sunscreens you ask, well I am allergic to most of them. Two of them are almost finished and I had kept the bottles foe this post. :) . If you have often graced my blog with your presence, you must be knowing that I am allergic to SPF more than 15, still sometimes I become adventurous ad end up buying higher SPF sunscreens. I am going to give the sunscreens that do not suit me to my niece tomorrow. I wish I had a relative like me. J

  6. I liked the Biotique one, as it was SPF30 still it suited me. Nowadays Himalaya Sun Protection Lotion Works for me. For the face the neutrogena oil free facial moisturiser is also a nice pick for people with combination or oily skin.

  11. i just heard that using sunscreen which is more than 20-30 SPF is not good for the skin..and one should go for such high level if one is into sports etc..this was by a derma...so now i am going glow with my neutrogena one.

  14. I have used Neutrogena ultrasheer and biotique carrot spf 40 and sandalwood spf 50...loved the Neutrogena but biotique sunscreens are sticky :( but they do protect well even though they are herbal and their ingredients largely a mystery!!! didn't like lotus sunscreens at all...found them too oily!!!heard that loreal is also good in case you wanna give a try!!!

  18. I use the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer one, and it doesn't make my oily skin any bit oil-ier. In fact, I believe it keeps it matte (or maybe that's in my head?)... but it's really good, and SPF 50 is very reassuring for someone with skin that easily burns. I haven't used most of these, but I will look into it :)
