Is gel sunscreen for oily skin physical or chemical based?

Gel sunscreen for oily skin is a chemical sunscreen that contains chemical UV filters which work by absorbing UV rays, converting them into heat and release from the skin's surface.

What skin types can use chemical sunscreen?

Although suitable for all skin types, chemical sunscreens should be carefully used by people with sensitive skin conditions since it may cause certain light reactions such as inflammation or redness.

How is chemical sunscreen better than physical sunscreen?

Chemical sunscreen is designed to get absorbed and hence spreads and works smoothly on the skin without the skin feeling greasy or sticky. Also, it does not leave any white cast when applied.

Should I use sunscreen only in the summer?

Sunscreen should be used every day and should be a part of your daily skincare regimen, not just in summer. You are exposed to UV radiation every day when you step out. Hence, applying sunscreen is mandatory despite the season.

How long should a 50gm sunscreen last?

If you use sunscreen generously every day on your face and neck it will last for around 1-1.5 months.

Can I apply makeup over sunscreen? Will it cause any pilling?

Yes, you can put on makeup after applying sunscreen on your face. Applying makeup above sunscreen will not cause any pilling. Just make sure that the sunscreen sits well on your skin for about 5 minutes and then apply make-up.

Is it safe to use methoxycinnamate?

Methoxycinnamate is generally considered safe to be used in sunscreens but should be avoided by pregnant and lactating mothers.

Can this product be used by pregnant or lactating mothers?

No, this product should not be used by pregnant or lactating mothers as it contains chemical sun filters.
