I love wearing Indian ethnic wear on special occasions or festivals. A Saree is one of my favourite ethnic attire to wear during Puja or family get-togethers. Again in sarees, I have a soft corner for handloom sarees. The beauty and feel of these handwoven slow crafted sarees are truly mesmerizing. It was Durga Puja time and Diwali is also approaching in few days, hence I thought to buy a beautiful handloom saree to celebrate all these festivals with extra joy.

Applying Sunscreen is one of the most important step in our daily skincare regimen... One should never miss applying a good SPF sunscreen on regular basis just to avoid the harsh sun ray . There is a myth which settles in our mind that sunscreen is only requires during summer season which is absolutely wrong... We have to apply sunscreen throughout the year even in rainy season as well.
Sunscreens has SPF (Sun Protection Factor) which helps to protect our skin from harmful Ultra Violet (UV) rays... For Indian climate SPF30-40 is sufficient... Higher SPF won't work properly... And it has recommended that never go over SPF 75..
UV ray is actually of three types i.e. UVA, UVB and UVC. UVA causes premature ageing, skin wrinkles, photosensitivity, skin cancer, pigmentation, etc.. While UVB is responsible for discoloration, tanning, etc... And UVC get absorbed by the ozone layer and don't reach to earth's surface. Hence we never skip applying a good sunscreen if we are stepping out or inside home.. And one more important thing is while choosing a sunscreen, don't forget to check the terms Multi-Spectrum, Broad-spectrum, UVA/UVB protection...
Well, today I am going to share six of my favorite sunscreens which I swear by completely... All these are affordable and easily available...
Let's start...
1- LOTUS HERBALS SAFE SUN 3-IN-1 MATTE LOOK DAILY SUN BLOCK PA+++ SPF-40 :
This is one of the best sunscreens available in Indian market... This is a tinted moisturizer with both UVA and UVB protection and it has also skin lightening formula ... I am using this since I was in college... This sunscreen provides a nice matte finish even look. It is quickly absorbed by skin and not feeling greasy or heavy at all... It suits all skin type but a boon for oily and acne prone skins... I personally love it so much...
Price - Rs245/- for 50gm.
2- NEUTROGENA ULTRASHEER DRY TOUCH SUN BLOCK SPF-50+ PA+++ : (Reviewed HERE)
