Sukin SPF 30 Sheer Touch Facial Sunscreen Untinted Lotion, 60 ml

Product Information

It is important to use a reef safe sunscreen because it protects coral reefs and marine life from absorbing the harmful chemicals found in chemical sunscreen. I’ve tested both the untinted and tinted versions of this reef safe sunscreen, so which is best? Read my review of both Sukin Sheer Touch SPF30 Sheer Touch Sunscreens to find out. All About Sukin Sheer Touch SPF30 Sunscreen Coral contains an algae called zooxanthellae which essentially gives the corals energy to grow and reproduce. When corals get stressed from things such as heat or pollution, they react by expelling this algae, leaving a ghostly, transparent skeleton behind. This is known as ‘coral bleaching’.

The main difference between Chemical and Physical sunscreen is the way they treat the UV rays. Chemical sunscreen absorbs the UV rays, whereas Physical sunscreen acts as a barrier and reflects the UV rays altogether. The most common ingredient used in physical sunscreens is Zinc Oxide. However, don't let this put you off as they have come a long way from the days of sportspeople adding stripes to their noses on the field. We have worked tirelessly to create a formula that is sheer-touch and will not leave any white cast. You get sun protection as soon as you apply a mineral sunscreen. But they will wash off with sweat and water so it’s important to reapply regularly. They can also leave whitish cast on the skin unfortunately. Using a tinted version like this reef safe sunscreen could help overcome that issue. How to Use Sukin SPF30 Sheer Touch Reef Safe Sunscreen There are several oils and moisturisers in Sukin’s sunscreen, for example, rosehip fruit oil, safflower seed oil and glycerin. This means that this product should not dry out your skin. Considered the best sunscreen in Pakistan, it can be used on both the face and body and protects against UVA/UVB, and leaves you with a transparent finish.

If your skin is quite dark, there is also a Medium/Dark version of this sunscreen and if you prefer no tint, you can also get the untinted version. It makes itself worth the price by offering strong resistance against sun rays with a 100 SPF. It is non-comedogenic and has an invisible texture that works great against sun tanning. Like all sunscreens, reapply every 2 hours or more if you’re swimming of sweating. This sunscreen is not water resistant. Sukin reef safe sunscreen has to be used within 6 months of opening, so don’t be tempted to save any for next year, as it may not be as effective. Did you know? You might’ve heard some chat about ‘reef safe’ sunscreens or certain SPFs being ‘bad’ for the environment, but what does that actually mean?

Applying sunscreen on your skin may not seem like a big deal, but let me tell you, that proper application of sunscreen is all that makes the difference. So, here are some of the things that you need to focus on after you choose the best sunscreen out of these all. It is a non-greasy sunscreen great for people with all skin types. With an SPF of 45, it is a fast-absorbing formula. Its broad-spectrum properties allow it to prevent skin damage. It works great in making the signs of aging disappear. The first main difference is that while TiO2 gives a nice broad spectrum protection, Zinc Oxide has an even nicerand even broader spectrum protection. It protects against UVB, UVA II, and UVA I almost uniformly, and is considered to be the broadestrange sunscreen available today.

Moreover, it is water-resistant, paraben-free, and most of all fragrance-free which makes it a lot more suitable for sensitive skin types. Despite it being a little pricey out of the best sunscreen in Pakistan list, the results it gives are unmatchable. The main preservative in this sunscreen is Phenethyl Alcohol which is a naturally occurring substance that is also made in a laboratory. It has a distinctive scent described as “floral”. The other preservative in this sunscreen that is widely used in natural cosmetics is Potassium Sorbate. Both are non-toxic and pretty harmless chemicals although some people may react to potassium sorbate. This is very exciting becausewe all know we’remeant to wear sunscreen on our faces every day, and this one is the solution to two of the biggest excuses used for not slathering on the good stuff: ‘sunscreen is too expensive’ and ‘sunscreen is not natural’.
