REVIEW : SUN BLOCK with SPF 60 by Hollywood Style USA

Hollywood Style Sun Block SPF-60 - Safe Under the Sun


Confused what is meant by SPF ??? here I got the ans

What SPF stands for ??? ( from google )

SPF is an acronym for Sun Protection Factor. The number you see associated with SPF represents the length of time you can stay out in the sun without burning, multiplied by the corresponding number. So a person who would normally start to burn in 10 minutes, could theoretically have 150 minutes of sun protection with a sunscreen that has an SPF of 15.

Regardless of SPF number, testing of sunscreen does not really correspond to the amount of time you can stay out in the sun without burning because sweating, clothing rubbing against the skin, and water sports will all wear the sunscreen off. Tests also use much more sunscreen than do most people, so SPF number results can be inaccurate. Usually, an SPF 15 rated sunscreen will give your about an hour of protection before you should reapply sunscreen. This, of course, varies from person to person. It also helps to wear protective clothing, hats and sunglasses.

The SPF number only relates to ultraviolet B (UVB) protection. Ultraviolet A (UVA) protection is not measured through SPF numbers, and until recently, frequently was not available in sunscreens. UVB rays are more potent, quicker to produce sunburn, and have been linked to skin cancer. UVA is associated with aging of the skin, and along with UVB exposure, may increase risk or facilitate skin cancer. UVA though milder, is still not safe.

what is meant by spf numbers or SPF 60 

 it means...
the time it normally takes you to burn. multiply that by 60.
& thats how long you can stay in the sun without getting burned.
so if you burn in 10 minutes usually.
10x60=600 minutes.
thats how long you can stay in the sun for being protected.
unless you go like swimming or sweat it off.
but spf 60 is very good

My Thoughts About It :

DISCLAIMER : First of all I would like to declare  that I am NOT AT ALL by any means associated with Hollywood Style USA … I am not getting anything or any favor for my genuine and sincere reviews. I have bought all the Hollywood Style USA products from my OWN money [this also includes my hubby's money , and he is also not working for them  , neither he owned Hollywood style USA company ;) ]

So , talking about the product . I am using this sunblock from past 10 years… ( yes I mean it ! ) and I found it greatttttt . I use it on my face , hands and feet ( I love my feet aswell J )

I have an oily skin with breakouts sometimes , but this works great for me .I admit that in the start after applying it on your face you may sweat or feel little bit oily but just dab a tissue for removing that extra oil  . But as far as sun protection is concerned , it fulfills its promise totally. And it doesn’t break out my skin . my face skin is extremely sensitive and tends to breakouts easily.

The Lahore climate  is extremely humid during summer or rainy season , so you may find it difficult to manage specially if you are in open area. So I used to remove the excess oil with the help of astringent or you can achieve the same goal with a cotton ball wet with rose water and press it on your face with very light hands . You can also re apply the small amount of sunblock if you want . But you don't need these extra efforts if you are spending most of your time in doors. 

I have tested it during my visits to Saudia Arabia . So luckily I got the chance to test this sunblock in extremely hot and dry  weather with no or less humidity , and believe me this sunblock worked as a magic .  My skin was literally glowing and I was not all sweating or my face was totally oil free. And my face become clearer day by day which means that sun wasn't much affecting my face. And I was most of the time was in full sun light .

One of my friend have tested it while swimming and she loved it as well . As she didn’t get tanned at all .( Pakistani girls don't like to get tanned mostly ) .

I used to apply it under my foundation in winter as well , as it helps preventing me from drying skin in winters.

Price & Availability

Just like other Hollywood Style USA products  its cost is also very reasonable. The price of  Sun Block with SPF 60 by Hollywood Style USA is under Rs.500.You can find it easily available across the country . You can check their website Here .

Pros :
  • Great Product and a must have if you don't want to get sun burn.
  • Great price , easily affordable.
  • You can use it while swimming .
  • This product is like heaven if you live in a dry hot weather.
  • You can use it for your whole body and it will work as efficiently .
  • Unlike other sunblocks who protects from UVA only ,It gives you high coverage against UVA rays(aging), UVB rays (burning) and UVC rays (constant).
  • It also gives you a slight coverage.( sometimes I just apply little bit concealer and face powder above it for a natural look)

Cons
  • It can make you sweat a lot ( depending on your skin n climate)
  • You may feel little bit oily after its application. 

Would I recommend It ?

Definitely Yes …. until I find other great sunblock who can beat this one in performance.Till then … Yes to HOLLYWOOD STYLE USA SUN BLOCK .
