Hello lovelies !
For most parts of the world, summer has passed and cooler climates have peeped in and with that , the very few of us who did (or try to ) use a sunscreen sparingly ,have thrown them into the farthest nooks of our closets. Sun damage is all year through and the effects extend beyond just tanning.
Sunlight that hits us contain UVAs and UVBs.The damage they cause is different .
UVAs:- UVBs
Remain throughout the year. Mostly strong during summer
Penetrate glass and windows Does not penetrate
Cause wrinkles and thick skin Causes tanning
Even penetrates a cloudy day Does not penetrate

Thus,a sunscreen becomes imperative to be used throughout the year and a must to have a broad spectrum coverage .The single most common reason a large number of people avoid sunscreens is because of the white greasy cast a typical sunscreen leaves us with.
For me , a sunscreen must be
For me , a sunscreen must be
- Affordable
- Have broad spectrum coverage
- Have a transparent and dry finish
- Absorb immediately
- Does not make me look greasy
- Have a decent SPF
Ive struck luck with the Neutrogena ultra sheer broad spectrum sunscreen . It ticks all what is required and provides the most sheer, matte finish for a sunscreen I have ever used. Use it alone or under your moisturiser/makeup and be at peace . They come in various SPF strengths and in reality , an SPF of 30 and 45 is not going to make the worlds difference,so either would suffice.

What is SPF? SPF = Sun Protection Factor. The SPF number tells you how long you can stay in the sun without burning from UVB rays. Example: SPF 15. If you normally start to burn at 15 minutes, SPF 15 lets you stay in the sun ~15x longer (3.5 hours) without burning. )
