Bello Photostable Sunscreen Gel Review And My Experience
Bello Photostable Sunscreen Gel is white and has a thick, creamy kind of consistency. It is not a gel sunscreen. However, even though sunscreen is thick, it glides on smoothly but you have to massage it a little bit. The sunscreen looks slightly oily but it is non-sticky and non-greasy. Its texture makes it easy to apply because it does not flakes, peel off or become patchy. Therefore, one can use this under BB or CC creams as well.
Furthermore, when I first applied this sunscreen onto my face, I saw a slight white cast. After 10 minutes, I re-checked my face and was amazed that the white cast was completely disappeared and looked like I have put on a moisturizer. Although, the sunscreen leaves a shiny finish and people with combination/oily skin may not like it. But you can apply a compact powder to get rid of sheen. While I would suggest using a moisturizer beneath for dry skin people. In my opinion, this sunscreen is perfect for normal to dry skin types. Because it does not makes skin stretchy or tight after a few hours.
In addition, it does not feel but it is not airy light either. So, you may feel like you have applied something. Usually, sunscreen causes bumps on my skin but thankfully it never gives me any bumps, irritation or pimples. Apart from this, I would not recommend it to someone having a damaged skin barrier, but it will suit sensitive skin. I have faced redness even after applying physical sunscreen but never with this sunscreen.
For sun protection it has SPF 40 PA+++ that provides sufficient protection against UV rays. However, you will need re-application when you are going out for a long time.
Suitability
It is well suited for normal to dry skin types. Combination and oily skin people can use this during winter or even in summer but with a compact powder afterward because it looks shiny. Although, it doesn’t contain any oil.
