Top Ten Sunblock to Use at Pakistani Beaches
Worried which Sunblock to use at Pakistani beaches?
“It takes you one trip to sunny Hawksbay beach huts to realize that sunblock is not something we need to skimp on”. When you live so close to the equator, the rays of the sun are extremely harsh on the skin causing aging, burning, acne, discoloration, dark spots, wrinkles and worst of them all, skin cancer. Sunblock/sunscreen protects you from the UVA and UVB rays that can penetrate through even glass and produce cancerous cells on your skin.
Precautions to Take:
- In Pakistan, we cannot skip sunblock even on a cloudy day because 80% of the rays can pass through the clouds as well.
- You should wear sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before you step out of the house.
- The amount should be 1.0 ounce and it should be applied generously to all the exposed areas.
- Do take your sunblock bottle with you on a beach picnic or party. Reapply after every 2 hours or after a swim.
- Always buy sunblock that has SPF 30 or higher__ it blocks 96% of sun rays.
1. Neutrogena Ultra-Sheer Sunblock:
One of the best Sunblock to Use at Pakistani Beaches available in Pakistan, it’s a drugstore brand that is dermatologically tested and non comodegenic. I have personally used this sunblock for as far as I can remember; my friend had introduced me to it on a college beach theme party at Turtle beach. The formula is little thick but as you apply it, the consistency becomes thin and the finish becomes semi matte.
- Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
- PABA-free

2. U veil SPF 60 Sunblock:
The very first ingredient of this sunblock is powdered Zinc Oxide, which sits on top of the skin, scattering and reflecting UVA & UVB rays.

I would recommend this sunblock to teenagers with acne, who can’t afford a fancy sunblock but want silky finish, U veil Sunblock is great for those Picnic Beach Venues
