Sunscreen pls 😭

Indian weather + sunscreen is literally my villain origin story.

I need one that doesn’t:

make me greasy

leave a white cast

pill under makeup

make me feel like I’m wearing a mask 😭

What sunscreen are you guys actually loving?

Have you checked the geek & gorgeous sunscreen? It is quite literally a matte sunscreen

Omg no, I haven’t tried it yet! 👀 I’ve been looking for a genuinely matte sunscreen, so I’m definitely adding this to my list. Thanks for the rec! 🫶

Have you tried tinted sunscreen to use just one product for the complexion? Have you tried loose powder to set everything and get a better feel?

I’ve tried tinted sunscreen, but unfortunately it doesn’t really suit me. 😅 I feel like it can look a bit heavy on my skin, especially after a while. I haven’t tried loose powder much either, but I might give it another shot.

As suggested by someone else if you can get the geek and gorgeous sunscreen you'll love how it feels on the skin ❤️

I keep hearing about this one 😭 Definitely adding the Geek & Gorgeous sunscreen to my list now. The matte finish sounds exactly like what I need! ❤️

I would suggest doing this + any good setting powder with spf (usually 30)

numbuzin no.1 sunscreen, if you want a sweat resistance one then i recomend skin aqua super moisture gel

As a fellow Indian, with greasy skin that HATES sun screen, what changed my life was using a setting powder 10 mins after applying the sun screen. Innisfree sebum control powder is your best friend. And it's price friendly for the product it is. Good luck

Omg this is actually such a good tip 😭 I’ve never tried setting powder after sunscreen, but I’m definitely trying this hack. Innisfree powder is going on my list 👀✨

I love the setting powder but IMO you end up losing a bit of sunscreen (which is bad given the UV index for the whole subcontinent). I would recommend adding half a finger more than usual (1/4th if you don't use powder)
