Sunscreen is an integral part of skincare. To avoid pre-mature ageing and sun borne damages like pigmentation, dark spots, sunburns etc. You should never step out of the house without a sunscreen on all exposed areas. The doctors even suggest using sunscreen even when you are at home.
I realized the importance of this quite late or if I put it in other words, I tried but I failed, because the ones I was experimenting with did not satisfy me and I formed a notion that sunscreens are all heavy, patchy, difficult to blend and leave a white cast on face, hence I barred them completely for my face at least which obviously was not right. I only used moisturizers or makeup having spf which was not enough.
I paid a visit to my dermatologist and she suggested me to try ANTHELIOS XL from a very trusted brand: LA ROCHE-POSAY and after that there has not been a single day that I have missed using a sun block, even while at home …yeah!!!!!

My Experience With ANTHELIOS XL SPF 50+ FLUID ULTRA-LIGHT
This sunscreen comes in a rectangular plastic bottle with a nozzle dispenser which allows just the right amount of lotion to come out. The lotion is quite runny with no fragrance at all. It spreads easily just like a moisturizer and gives a dewy finish to the face. It is very light and comfortable on the skin. It can be easily worn under your makeup and it does not leave a white cast on the face.
The Anthelios sunscreen comes in various versions be it cream, lotion, gel , spray etc so you can pick easily according to your skin type and comfort.
I usually buy the 50ml pack because it is easy to carry in my bag for reapplication but it is available in a larger bottle also.
This can also be mixed with foundation to give an even skin tone.
