Finding a daily sunscreen that doesn't feel heavy, leave a white cast, or irritate sensitive skin can be a challenge, especially in Mauritius' humid climate. This lightweight mineral sunscreen is designed to solve that problem.

• What it is: A physical (mineral) sunscreen that uses Zinc Oxide to provide broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.
• Who it's for: Ideal for sensitive, combination, and oily skin types looking for a comfortable, non-greasy daily sunscreen.
• Key Benefits: Offers high SPF 50+ PA++++ protection with a lightweight, airy texture and a soft, velvety finish. It's formulated to be soothing and claims to leave minimal to no white cast.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. Hydrating Layer (Optional): Apply a light toner or serum.
3. THIS PRODUCT (Anua Airy Sun Cream): Apply the two-finger amount to your face and neck as the final step of your morning routine.

Note: Already own a sunscreen? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist Routine (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Moisturiser (if needed): If you have dry skin or this sunscreen isn't hydrating enough for you, apply a light moisturiser first.
3. Anua Airy Sun Cream: Apply generously as your final skincare step, 15 minutes before sun exposure.

Wait Times: Wait 1-2 minutes after your moisturiser before applying sunscreen. Wait another 1-2 minutes before applying makeup to prevent pilling.

Sunscreen must be removed thoroughly at the end of the day to prevent clogged pores.

Minimalist Routine (2-3 steps):

1. Double Cleanse:
   • Step 1 (Oil Cleanser): Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away the sunscreen and any makeup.
   • Step 2 (Water-Based Cleanser): Follow with a foam or gel cleanser to wash everything off.
2. Hydrating Layers: Apply your chosen toner, essence, or serum.
3. Moisturiser: Finish with a night cream to support your skin's overnight repair process.

• Amount: Use the "two-finger" rule. Squeeze a line of sunscreen onto your index and middle fingers from base to tip. This is the correct amount for your face and neck.
• Apply to: Face, neck, and ears. Avoid direct contact with eyes.
• Method: Apply to the skin and gently blend until it is absorbed. Don't rub too aggressively.
• Frequency: Use every single morning as the last step of your skincare routine, even on cloudy days or if you're indoors.
• Reapplication: Reapply every 2-3 hours during prolonged sun exposure, after swimming, or after heavy sweating.

If-This / Then-That:

• Under Makeup: This sunscreen's soft velvet finish makes it a good base for makeup. Wait for it to set completely before applying foundation to reduce pilling.
• Sensitive Skin: Some users report a stinging sensation upon application, which usually subsides. Patch test before first use. If stinging persists, discontinue use.
• Oily Skin: While it has a soft finish, some users with very oily skin find it can feel greasy over time. You may want to set it with a light powder.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a rash or burning occurs. Always patch test before initial use.

• UV Protection Level: SPF 50+ PA++++
• Protection Standard: SPF testing is regulated by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). PA++++ indicates extremely high UVA protection.
• UV Filters: This is a mineral (physical) sunscreen.
  • Zinc Oxide (Mineral): Provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays by reflecting and scattering them.
  • Butyloctyl Salicylate (Organic/Chemical Booster): While the primary filter is mineral, this ingredient is included to help stabilize the formula and boost the SPF factor.
• White Cast: The brand claims little to no white cast due to advanced powder dispersion technology. However, as with most mineral sunscreens, a slight tone-up effect or minimal cast may be visible on deeper skin tones, which should fade as the product absorbs.
• Water Resistance: The brand states it is water and sweat resistant, but reapplication after swimming or heavy sweating is still necessary for full protection.
• SPF Reality Check: To get the full SPF 50+ protection, you must apply the correct amount (the two-finger rule). Applying too little significantly reduces protection. Sunscreen is the most crucial step for preventing sun spots, PIH, and premature aging in Mauritius.

• Immediate: Skin is protected from UV radiation. The texture will feel light and leave a soft, velvety finish. Any initial white cast should settle within a few minutes.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you are actively preventing the formation of new sun spots and protecting your skin from photoaging. If you are using other brightening products, the sunscreen will help them work more effectively by preventing new UV damage.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Long-term, daily sunscreen use is the single most effective action for maintaining an even skin tone, preventing fine lines and wrinkles, and protecting overall skin health.

• Why use a tested sunscreen, NOT DIY mixes? Sunscreen formulation is a complex science. SPF ratings are determined by rigorous lab testing that cannot be replicated at home. DIY sunscreen mixes with coconut oil or zinc powder provide unreliable and unsafe levels of protection, putting you at risk of severe sun damage.
• Why reapply, even if it's SPF 50+? The SPF number indicates the level of protection, not how long it lasts. Sunscreen breaks down with exposure to sunlight and is removed by sweat and touch. Reapplying every 2-3 hours is essential to maintain protection.

• Works Well With: This sunscreen can be used with any standard skincare routine. It works well over hydrating serums (like Hyaluronic Acid), antioxidants (like Vitamin C, which can boost its protective effects), and moisturisers.
• Use Carefully With: If you have a very rich, oily moisturiser, layering this on top might feel heavy. Allow any oily or heavy products to fully absorb before applying the sunscreen to prevent pilling.
• Avoid On: Do not apply on broken, weeping, or irritated skin.

• Sensitive Skin: Excellent. Formulated as a gentle mineral sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin. However, patch testing is still advised as some users have reported a stinging sensation.
• Oily / Combination Skin: Good. The lightweight, airy texture and soft finish are designed for these skin types. Some very oily individuals might find it feels greasy later in the day.
• Dry Skin: May need a dedicated moisturiser underneath. While it has a moist texture, it is not a deeply hydrating product and may not be sufficient for dry skin on its own.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Fair. The mineral formula is generally non-comedogenic. However, some users on Reddit have reported breakouts or the formation of whiteheads. Individual responses will vary.

• Sun Protection: Provides high-level, broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, preventing sunburn and long-term sun damage.
• Sensitivity: Formulated with soothing plant-based extracts like Centella Asiatica, Houttuynia Cordata, and Tea Tree to calm and comfort sensitive skin.
• Premature Aging: By blocking UV radiation, it is the most effective tool for preventing photoaging, which includes wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity.

• Scent Profile: Users report there is no discernible smell.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand. The formula appears to be free from the 26 common EU-listed fragrance allergens.

• Who should use it: Suitable for all skin types, especially those with sensitive or oily-combination skin seeking lightweight mineral sun protection.
• Who should use with caution: Individuals with very acne-prone skin should monitor for breakouts, as some users have reported this. Those with extremely sensitive skin should be aware of potential stinging upon application.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, clean area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation, redness, or burning. If a reaction occurs, do not use the product.
• Kids/Teens: This is an adult formula. For teens, a simple routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and sunscreen is best. This sunscreen could be a good option due to its gentle mineral formula.

• Scent: None.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This product is NOT considered fungal-acne safe. It contains Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, which can be a trigger for Malassezia folliculitis.

• Issue: Stinging or burning sensation upon application.
  • Solution: This can happen with some mineral sunscreens, especially on sensitive or compromised skin. Ensure your skin barrier is healthy and well-moisturised. Apply over a calming moisturiser. If stinging is severe or persistent, discontinue use.
• Issue: Product feels greasy or leaves a film.
  • Solution: This can be due to applying too much product or layering over a heavy moisturiser. Try using a lighter moisturiser or applying a slightly smaller amount. Setting with a translucent powder can also help control shine.
• Issue: I'm seeing a slight white cast.
  • Solution: Give the product a few minutes to absorb and settle into the skin. Applying in thin layers and gently patting, rather than rubbing, can help it blend better. Applying over a well-hydrated base also improves the finish.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight, airy texture and soft velvet finish make this an excellent choice for Mauritius' hot and humid summers. It's designed to feel non-sticky and comfortable on the skin, even when you're sweating. Its water-resistant properties are an added bonus.
• Drier Winter / AC Environments: During the slightly drier winter months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, you may find this sunscreen isn't hydrating enough on its own. Ensure you apply a good moisturiser underneath to keep your skin from feeling tight.
