I never used a sunscreen till I was 22.I never thought it made any difference.Then had to travel a lot during my internship and I tanned like crazy.I looked like a zebra with skin patches..lol.Thought I would give it a try.I bought Lakme sunscreen.It was good but I didn t like it when my skin became oily due to it.I never used it on my face.I am too scared to use anything on my face.Its funny not using a sunscreen on ur face but I didnt want pimples on my face.
When my first bottle of sunscreen was empty, I went to get another one.The salesman showed me a tube of LOTUS HERBALS sunblock ...I didnt even know the difference between sunscreen and sunblock.It was SPF 30 with UV-A blocking action.Also had TPI though I never find it on any sunscreen these days.I had never heard about this bran.d but when I read the info on the tube.I was impressed so I bought it.I worked ...I never believed that sunscreens work.But was pleasantly surprised :)
Never used it on my face though as it had a creamy feel.
SPF --------for UV B rays protection
It doesnt offer good protection agst UV A RAYS
UV A rays cause skin aging and wrinkles.So your sunscreen should also contain an agent that blocks UV A RAYS.

@*Use a water proof/water resistant lotion .
@*Use gel sunscreen if u have pimples.
@*Dont forget your neck, hands and feet.Reapply every four hours.
Now I use sunblock with spf 50.It also gives a matte look.I can use it on my face.Feels lovely cuz I love the matte finish on my face and no pimples too.Slightly pricey but total paisa- vasool.I found the perfect sunscreen for my skin!
If you dont think sunscreens work..try this one.Jus apply it 1/2 hr before you leave home and reapply evry 4 hrs.The pack says reapply 1-2 hrs but I do it every 4 hrs...and it still works.Just wanted to share this with people looking for a sunscreen that actually works... :)
