Do you really want to improve your skin in the new year by regularly using sunscreen? We know it is kind of tough to go through with it, especially if you are a millennial who has been scarred by bad sunscreen formulations in the past. White cast, clogged pores, greasiness, heaviness, and breakouts have long been associated with sunscreen application and that shouldn’t be the case. The right sunscreen will protect your skin from sun damage without causing any side effects or making you look like a pale ghost. Thankfully, there are a few sunscreens in the market that are so good they will make you want to wear SPF daily. Like skincare unicorns, these sunscreens are nothing like the average skincare product. Offering various skin-perfecting finishes while being extremely soothing on all skin types, you will want to wear these sunscreen products on your skin because of the impeccable glow. Here are our top picks for sunscreens in 2023.
Best Sunscreens Available In India In 2023
Homebound SPF Glory
If you’ve been looking for a good sunscreen that you’d like to wear indoors as well as outdoors, look no further than the Personal Touch Sunstalker Korea 3-in-1 Hydrating Mineral Shield Sunscreen. It has a broad spectrum SPF 50 and the formula leaves an extremely cooling sensation lingering on your skin. Not only does it prevent sun damage, but it also offers blue light protection from your laptop and phone screens. It works like a moisturiser, sunscreen, and serum – all in one. The non-comedogenic formula plumps up your skin and prevents ageing.
Skincare-Only Base
The Sandiva One & Done Tinted Sunblock will win the hearts of anyone with problematic skin. Available in 4 shades, this tinted sunscreen is truly brown-girl-friendly and stands out from other tinted SPF products that do not suit darker complexions. Formulated with pure sandalwood powder and zinc oxide, it protects the skin from the sun and blends so smoothly that it makes your skin silky and soft. The coverage is very light yet it manages to reduce the appearance of dark spots and dark circles effectively. Oily and acne-prone skin types must get this one ASAP!
The Super Impressive Matte Formula
The perfect matte sunscreen does exist and it is by the homegrown brand Foxtale. The Foxtale Matte Finish Sunscreen is one of the few mattifying sunscreens we’ve come across that has a gel-like consistency just like your favourite gel moisturiser. That’s unusual as matte sunscreens usually are thicker and creamy. This matte sunscreen absorbs right into the skin and settles to a super light matte finish that will leave you super impressed. Acne-prone skin types will love this but really it works for all skin types.
Your Travel SPF BFF
Spray on your sunscreen if you hate applying an extra layer of cream for sun protection. The POPxo Beach Bum Multi-Use Sunscreen Spray is a beautiful glow-boosting SPF product that can easily become your travel buddy too. Just spritz it on your skin or over your makeup, it works both ways. The product is formulated with raspberry seed oil, hyaluronic acid, and cucumber extract. It can be used on your face, body, and hair and it is completely water-resistant too. All skin types will love this sunscreen.
The Sunscreen With An Ethereal Glow
The Dermalogica Prisma Protect Sunscreen moisturiser may be on the higher end but it lasts long and literally, gives you a soft-focus ethereal glow. It’s totally worth the money. The lightweight formula spreads easily on the skin and then settles down with a cooling effect. You will notice a very slight prismatic sheen on your skin which is just bomb! We love this one for combination skin types.
Take your pick from any of these sunscreens and you will soon become someone who swears by wearing SPF daily, just like you wished for in this new year.
