Askmewhats Reviews: TFS Natural Intensive Sun Cream SPF 50

I admit it! I always skipped on sunblock lotions/creams. I have read so much about putting on sunscreen to save your skin from the sun's harmful rays, and most of all, to save yourself from speeding up your aging process.

Shame on me, I am a beauty blogger, but I don't use sunscreen!

NOW IT'S THE MOMENT OF TRUTH...

I am getting older, I am aging, and I need look for the "fountain of youth". I was told it starts with Sunscreen! Then with eating healthily, exercising, drinking lots of fluid blah blah blah (list goes on). But I did mentioned SUNSCREEN right?

Against my will, I finally bought a tube of sunscreen. This is not my first though, years ago, I have used Neutrogena (which I haven't reviewed yet...will probably do that soon).

Now, it's time for me to show some TLC for Sunscreens!

To all sunscreens in the world...this post is for all of you...for being the protector of the universe...for being Superman! Batman, Iron man, Spiderman!

TFS Intensive Sun Cream SPF 50 says ---

High-level UVA/UVB sun protection in a long lasting cream formula.
Powerful sun shield blocks both UVA and UVB while the water and sweat resistant formula provides long lasting protection. Formulated with Pongamia Extract, a natural sun screen agent, Aloe and Sunflower seed extracts, it hydrates and nourishes skin to prevent sun damage to the skin. Nano sized particles go on evenly without lumping and leave skin feeling fresh.

Pros

• lightweight
• smells wonderful (light aloe, nothing too irritating)
• easily absorbed by the skin
• water (including perspiration) resistant
• non greasy --- very important to me
• can last for a long time as a little goes a long way
• handy, packaging is sleek and nice, easy to carry around
  

Cons

• with it's "matte" finish, people with dry skin would find this a bit too drying, not for me though, I always use a moisturizer underneath the sun cream
  
• *surprised* NO MORE!
  

Overall

I have used TFS Sun Cream testers for quite some time, the original formula (which is white and green in packaging) is faced-out. I find this new formulation is better and not too drying. Though at first glance, it may be a bit too expensive for a sun cream, but compared ot other sun block lotions, this has higher SPF of 50 and one small tube definitely lasts a long time as the cream glides on easily on the skin.

Tip

If you have oily skin, they also have the Natural Intensive Sun Milk Cream, non-oil based, perfect for oily skin! Again, always give their tester a try first before buying anything. I went for their testers 2-3x and applied it on my cheek to test for allergies before I finally purchased this. Do not be shy to ask about samples (if needed) for you to be able to road test on the product before spending money for it!

Will I repurchase?
Yes.
