Amway Attitude Sunscreen Lotion Review

Guest Post by Iswarya
Weekend Fun Giveaway July Week 2 Giveaway Entry #16

 
Sun screens offer us sun protection and prevent sun burn. They reduce the harmful effects of sun. I never step out without sun screen because my skin is sensitive and will tan badly. Sun screen is a must have product for me. Since I tried Amway attitude face masque and it worked out for me; I decided to try the sun screen from the same attitude range. So here is the review.



Product Description:
Attitude Sunscreen Lotion is a non-greasy lotion, which gets absorbed quickly. It has SPF 15 level sunscreen agents, which protect the skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
Use a natural sunscreen whenever possible, regardless of whether or not you plan on spending much time in the sun. The sun's rays are very damaging and if you get in the habit of applying sunscreen every day, you will never be left out without protection. The sun's most beneficial rays occur at sunrise and sunset. All Attitude products contain Skin Vitalizing Complex.


Usage Directions:
  • After Cleansing, Toning & Moisturising the skin, take a little quantity on your fingertips and smooth gently   over face.
  •  Apply 15 mins before sun exposure.
  •  To open the pump, rotate it in anti-clock wise direction & to lock it rotate in clockwise direction.

Price and Quantity:
Rs.349 for a 150 ml pack.


My Experience with this Product:


Packaging:  It comes in a light orange bottle with a light yellowish cap. It is in the form of a pump dispenser system which is white and golden.



Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: The colour of the sun screen is white. It has a medium runny and creamy consistency. My fragrance is mild and good.

How it works:  To be frank, it didn’t suit me. My face is on the oily side and this sun screen increases my oiliness.
It gets absorbed by the skin easily but still leaves that greasy film behind. It has SPF 15 which is not enough for those who step out in harsh sun. It moisturises the skin well and only a little amount is required for every use. It works for dry and normal skin and not for oily or sensitive skin. For those who are less exposed to sun and have dry skin, this is enough and it may work.

Swatch:




Pros:
  • Good packaging
  • Suitable for dry skin
  • Moisturizing
  • Didn’t break me out


Cons:

  •     Available only through Amway agents
  •     Sticky and greasy
  •     Price is little high
  •     Less sun protection.


My Rating: 3/5


Recommendation: I recommend this only roduct for normal to dry skinned beauties.


Would I Repurchase?: 
No. it doesn’t do anything much other than moisturising.

Just Herbs No Sun Aloevera & Calendula Sun Screen Gel

After reviewing the Silksplash Neem-Orange Face Wash and Frugel Firmskin Skin Radiance Gel from just Just Herbs, Now I am reviewing their No Sun Sun Screen gel with Aloevera and Calendula extracts. From the first two products I used, the skin radiance gel is my most favorite one as it acts as a light moisturizer on oily skin types. So, I made this move to my summer HG list and of course using it everyday. Did you notice a thing about Just Herbs? All their product names are very attractive as well as natural. Not only the names are good, I find the products worthy from my experience too. This sunscreen gel is specially formulated for oily skin types, so say yay if your skin type is oily. Can we move on to the product description and review now? Let us see how it works!

Product Description
A  multi tasking  sun protection gel  especially suitable for use by  people with oily skin or in the scorching summer season when  applying an oil based sun protective seems unappealing. With  it’s built in UV protection and age control micro nutrients, it effectively  replenishes skin’s lost moisture and forms a protective barrier to UV rays to prevent sun spots, freckles and sun induced wrinkles.

Just Herbs No Sun Sun Screen Gel


Price: Rs.350 for 100gm

Shelf life: 2 years

Ingredient list
Bakuchi 2mg, Calendula 1mg, Van Haldi 2mg, Pit Papra 2mg, Pushpanjan 1mg, Kumari Swaras 10mg, Gajar Beej 1mg, Allantoin 1mg, Persic Oil 2mg, Gum & Parishut Jal.

My Experience with this Product
The Just Herbs No Sun Sun Screen gel comes in a plastic container with a pump dispenser. The bottle being transparent makes it easier to find out how much is left inside. Every squeeze is in control and the packaging is completely travel friendly. Hence, I have no complaints on the packaging part.


Named as gel, this product is actually creamy and smooth in nature, colored milky pale yellow. The colour is similar to that of fresh cream, but with a slight yellow tint. The container being transparent gives a look that scoops of butterscotch ice cream is filled inside. :D The fragrance is very subtle, floral and herbal mixed, which is natural and mild. Overall, the gel is cream, smooth and in perfect cream consistency, neither too thick, nor too runny.


I really want to admit now this thing about no sun sunscreen gel from Just Herbs. Last week, I went for an outing in hot sun (Don't you know how bad Chennai summers are!) and  happened to stay in sun for almost the whole day. To test this product, I applied this sunscreen on my left hand arms and fingers skipping the right hand. At the end of the day, the tanning is visible on the parts of right hand while the left hand remained almost same and untanned. This gave me a very nice impression about this sunscreen gel. It also helped me save my facial skin from tan and sunburns. Being a perfect sunscreen product, this works best on oily and normal skin types with natural Aloe vera and Calendula extracts. Moreover, the turmeric being a great antibiotic ingredient, prevents irritation caused by sweat and bacterial infections. As this is a natural product, one needs to be patient until it is completely absorbed by the skin. It takes not much time, but little more than the chemical cosmetics, so don't judge before it is completely absorbed. Excess use of this sunscreen gel may leave a ashy cast, but that disappears in minutes.

Overall, it is really a nice and must have sunscreen product in hot summers. A single bottle is going to last really long as a very tiny amount is needed for whole face and neck. For the worth, it is affordable and I am planning to get this every summer. :)

PROS
  1. Protects skin from tanning up to a great extent.
  2. I did not experience any sun burn while using this sunscreen. My skin feels safe all day long.
  3. Fragrance is natural and mild. This wouldn't surely make even sensitive noses to say nay.
  4. Smooth creamy texture spreads easily over the skin.
  5. Gives a semi matte finish without any greasiness. It feels light on the skin.
  6. Makes a perfect everyday sunscreen for oily to normal skin types.
  7. I skipped my moisturizer and just did set this with my compact. The aloe vera itself acts as a natural moisturizer for oily skins.
  8. Stays up to 5 hours being effective, which is a very decent staying time for a sunscreen. Re-application is needed if you are out in sun for more than 5 hours.
  9. As a single bottle would last longer, I enjoy using it as my body sunscreen lotion too. 
  10. Instantly brightens skin with a cooling effect, being a great treat for sun burnt skin.
  11. Sturdy and travel friendly packaging. Pump dispenser makes it very hygienic. 
  12. Regular use removes mild sun tan and softens the skin.

CONS
Nothing to mention as a con! Just an hint, do not apply this sunscreen gel excessively if your complexion is dark, to avoid the ashy cast.

My Recommendation: A must of sunscreen product for oily to normal skin types! You are surely going to stick to it. Dry skins do not worry, Just herbs have another variant of sunscreen gel for you.

Overall Rating: 4.9/5

Would I Repurchase?: Why not? Sure for every summer.
