Eversince becoming conscious with hyperpigmentation, sunscreen has become my best company. It is important to prevent new pigments from forming while treating the existing ones, though I’m fully aware that sun is not its only cause. Searching for one that really suits my requirements is challenging though. Some sting the eyes and skin, some leave white cast and pill.
The sunscreen below is one of my favourites that I’ve used up completely, twice. It’s Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+ PA++++. It is always satisfying to be able to use up everything till the very last bit of it. Worth every penny. But I’ve changed to another brand as this one gives me glossy finish.

From this journey, I also learn about the differences between suncreen and sunblock. In short, sunscreen is chemical and should be put on 15 to 20 minutes before sun exposure. The protection is via the reaction between the chemical ingredients and the skin. Sunblock is physical and adds another layer of protection upon application. Thus, you can apply it right before sun exposure.
