I only started using SPF products a couple of years back. In my teens, I never bothered about sun protection and age spots and pre-mature aging. All I wanted was a deep tan and a glow. Yeah, I know, stupid. But you live and you learn. And I did.
I remember when I first started out using sunblock daily, I would use whatever I used at the beach or the pool and within 1 hour of stepping out of the house, my skin would grease up like a deep fryer at Mc Donalds'. I was at a loss and I didn't know what to do about my extremely oily skin. I combed the shelves to no avail (I didn't really know where to go look for products) all while wishing someone would make a product for oily skin that provided sun protection while inhibiting oil production.
Turns out someone actually did just that. I was doing some product shopping when I came across this from Dermalogica. I immediately bought it and I couldn't wait to give it a shot.
This lightweight lotion goes on easily without mess or white patches you get with some sun products. The wonderful Microsponge technology works, as its name suggests, like a sponge to soak up oil production leaving your skin matte longer all while providing sun protection to the tune of SPF 20.
The other great thing I like about this is how it contains Green Tea extracts to help soothe inflammation caused by breakouts or the occasional zits. My skin looked shine-free for a few hours longer than usual which is something I am very pleased about.
You use this as your daily moisturizer or alternatively, you can use this on top of your SPF- free moisturizer to give your skin an essential shield from the sun. Its lightweight, oil-free formula ensures you get the protection you need without clogging your pores.
