Hi guys.!!
This is my first post and I thought of starting it off with one product which should be and must be inseparable part of ones' skincare regime.
Beauty is skin-deep and it's very important to take good care of it. I believe skin is not gender-based, which means everyone weather a man or a woman should take care of it. N why not!! Your face and your skin is definitely a part of your personality and a clear healthy skin never goes wrong. Right?!! Cleansing- toning-moisturising ,weekly scrubbing , and some pampering in form of nice hydrating facepack helps to rejuvenate your skin from day to day damage caused by dirt, pollution and very importantly- sun.

We must apply sunscreen whether it's summer or winter, humid or rainy, i make sure not to see step out of house without a good sunscreen. Not only it protects you from tan, sun burn, it screens you from UVA and UVB rays that makes you susceptible to skin cancer. Sun accelerates your skin's ageing process and leads to dark-spots and patchy skin.
OK now, enough of my blabber, let's go back to the review.

Quantity: 60g
From: Glenmark pharmaceuticals Ltd.
My Experience and Review: Years back, first time, I saw my friend using this sunscreen. Hers was the same skin tone as mine and prescribed by her doctor. she also told that Spf 30 is enough for sun-protection. the key lies in reapplying it after 2-3 hours, if you are exposed to sun for longer hours.
That time I was unfamiliar with this sunscreen as I had heard of brands promosing Spf as high as 90!!! (Seriously.!! )Lotus, Neutrogena, Garnier and other brands.

Now, when I was recommended this by my dermatologist, I thought let's give this a shot.!
Mine being oily skin ,I am vary of using oily, creamy, thick creams., They most often than not, cause me breakouts, and clog my pores. And makes me feel sweaty and like an oil pan (hehe.)
Sun is at its best at around 9am to 4pm. That's the peak office hours and I make sure I apply it in the morning after I cleanse my face.
Rest of the day, i am indoors (office) ,so i skip reapplying it.

Key ingredients : please refer the pic below. its dreadful to type all those heavy names. :)
Colour : white,
consistency: thick gel- cream type.
Smell: its mildly citrus-y, will not irritate sensitive-noses.
I was so apprehensive of using it on my face looking at the consistency of it. But then I had no choice and believing my dermatologist.
I applied it in small quantity initially. Thankfully,it spread like a dream.
It felt oily on my skin, which subsided after 15-20 min.
Thank God !

After using it for a month, it does quite a decent job, I must say.!!
I did not cause me breakouts and did protect my skin from getting tan and sun burn.
My skin kind of felt dewy and was looking bright with a subtle glow.!
And it's PARABEN- free.
Yayy.!! Mission successful.
