Hello and welcome to today’s blog post, where I’ll be doing the Solaris Sunblock Review. It is a product that has been on the market for quite some time. As you may know, I’ve previously shared reviews of sunscreens suitable for oily and acne-prone skin, and it wouldn’t be fair to overlook the ever-present Solaris that I’ve come across in numerous pharmacies.
For the record, I absolutely despise getting baked like a potato in the sun and acquiring unsightly sun spots and other skin issues from neglecting my sunscreen. I’ve learnt my lesson the hard way and that’s why I hunt for sunscreen like an eagle hunts for prey. Ideally, I’d fancy myself a sweet little love bird or cute Cockatoo, but let’s face it, hunting is best done by the mighty eagle. So, I guess I’m a Hunting Love Bird or Hunting Cockatoo – it’s quirky but it fits, right?
But before delving into my personal experience and discussing the potentially controversial ingredients, let’s first address some commonly asked questions regarding sunscreen. By addressing these inquiries upfront, we can better understand the importance of proper sun protection and how Solaris Sunblock fits into the equation
Ah, the eternal question: Does Solaris Sunblock leave a white cast?
Most of the people, especially the ladies, fret about that tell-tale chalky residue that some sunscreens can leave behind. But fear not, my friend, when it comes to Solaris Sunblock, its transparent gel-like texture is readily absorbed into the skin, leaving no white cast in its wake. It’s a sun protection win-win situation!
Is Solaris Sunblock good for oily or acne-prone skin
Solaris is specifically manufactured for those with oily/pimple prone skin. Its formula contains “Sebo Micropore structure” and the texture is akin to cold-pressed coconut cream: slightly greasy but easily absorbed into the skin. When applied in the right amount, which is about a finger-length section, it won’t leave the face feeling oily nor cause breakouts. If you’re looking for a sunscreen to add to your summer skincare routine, Solaris is the way to go – best body guard for your skin !
What is Sebo Micropore structure in Sunblock ?
Sebo Micropore structure reduces the excess production of oil & sebum on the face and gives a mattifying finish.
Is Solaris Sunblock a physical sunscreen or chemical sunblock?
Most individuals may be curious about the type of sunscreen that Solaris is – whether it’s physical or chemical. To clear any confusion, Solaris is a chemical sunscreen, and you can verify this by examining the ingredients listed on the product label. Chemical sunscreens usually contain ingredients such as Avobenzene, Octyl Methoxy Cinnamate, Octinoxate, Benzophenone, Homosalate, or are instructed to be applied 30-40 minutes prior to sun exposure. Furthermore, chemical sunscreens are suitable for water sports and are ideal for individuals with oily, pimple-prone, or acne-prone skin.
Do I have to use Sunblock/ Sunscreen ever day?
Sunscreen provides numerous benefits for the skin, however, if you are not required to be outside in direct sunlight or exposed to sunlight indoors, it may be advisable to skip using chemical or physical sunblocks altogether.
