Lotus Herbals UV Screen Matte Gel Review!

Hey girls

Since the heat is literally killing us these days, I thought why not do another sunscreen review. I bought this sunscreen and the one I reviewed previously (Here) in a few days interval. Lotus is such an amazing brand when it comes to sunscreens. They literally have so many different varieties of them. You can always find one which suits your skin type the most. A lot of the sunscreens in their collection cater to those with oily skin. Today I am reviewing a matte sunscreen in the gel form which is perfect if you have oily skin.

Price-395/-

The price is pretty good for the quantity that you get. The sunscreen comes in a 50g pack which would be enough to last you for an entire summer. The SPF factor is 50 which is again very very impressive considering we see so many other brands come out with only about 20 or 30 spf mostly. Lotus has sunscreens that go upto 90 as well.

This one is in a matte gel form and has no colour or coverage to it like the Tan prevention creme. It goes on completely clear and spreads and blends very easily. When you first put it on it does feel a little bit drying because of the gel like texture so I would not recommend this to people who have dry skin. This would be best suited to those with combination of oily skin. I have combination skin as well and I dont mind this too much. It does however feel drying on the eczema areas but then I just use another lotion on top to calm my skin down. DSCN0905 DSCN0907

 

I dont recommend that you use a moisturizer first and then this sunscreen because I have many times read a lot of dermatologists say that a sunscreen should be the first thing that goes on your face for it to be very effective.

My foundation does not go on very well if I use this sunscreen as a base so I generally skip foundation and concealer and just put on some powder if I want some coverage. For days that I am going to be indoors mostly, I use my Tan prevention creme and when I know that I have to go out in the scorching sun, I always go for this sunscreen as it keeps my skin matte for longer. It does effectively control the oil for quite some time.

Overall, I think if you have oily skin or even combination one you are just going to love this one. I think girls who go to college and have to stay in the hot and humid classrooms etc mostly will find this great. It does not irritate or sting your skin and helps you keep the oil at bay for quite sometime.
