The new maxim goes “SPF is your BFF”. You must be very tired listening to the same thing over and over again. Every beauty blog and video is screaming Sunscreen (yes, with the capital S), and for good reason. Listing all the benefits of using a sunscreen will take approximately 7856 articles…okay, we’re exaggerating.
This SPF 50 sunscreen is one of the few in India that doesn’t leave any white casts. It’s a sunscreen that feels like a moisturiser. It’s quite light, spreads quickly, is non-sticky and non-shiny, and feels superb on the skin. The sunscreen also contains Vitamins A, B, E, and F, which help to repair skin damage caused by UV exposure. It also contains Niacinamide, a key component that brightens and strengthens the skin barrier. Above all, because the Minimalist Sunscreen is fragrance- and essential-oil-free, it should be suitable for sensitive skin. Price: Rs 379
