We know that finding the right sun protection can be a challenge, especially when dealing with the effects of sun exposure like dark spots. This sunstick is designed to make protection easy and effective.

• Who it's for: Anyone looking for a convenient, travel-friendly sunscreen that's easy to reapply, especially those with normal, combination, or oily skin types.
• What it does: Provides high SPF 50+ and PA++++ protection against UVA and UVB rays to prevent sunburn, photoaging, and hyperpigmentation.
• What to expect: A clear, balm-like stick that glides on smoothly, leaving a natural, semi-matte finish that isn't greasy or heavy. It's perfect for reapplying over makeup without causing smudging.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base in the morning.
2. Abib Quick Sunstick: Swipe evenly across your face and neck as the final step of your AM routine.
3. Reapply: Touch up every 2-3 hours for continuous protection.

Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

For best results, your morning routine should focus on hydration and protection.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Moisturiser (if needed) → 3) Abib Quick Sunstick.
• Optional: You can apply a Vitamin C or hydrating serum before the sunstick for added antioxidant benefits and hydration. Many users find this sunstick hydrating enough to skip a separate moisturiser, especially in Mauritius' humid climate.
• Wait times: Allow any serums or moisturisers to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying the sunstick to prevent pilling. Wait another minute before applying makeup.

Daily Use — AM & Reapplication:

• Amount: Swipe the stick back and forth across each area of your face (forehead, cheeks, nose, chin) 3-4 times to ensure a thorough, even layer. Don't forget your neck and ears.
• Method: Apply directly from the tube onto dry skin. You can gently pat it in with your fingertips to ensure even coverage if desired, but it's not necessary.
• Frequency: Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2-3 hours, or more often if you are sweating heavily.

Tips for Reapplication:

• Over Makeup: Gently glide the stick over your makeup. Avoid pressing too hard or rubbing. Lightly tapping with your fingers afterwards can help blend it without disturbing your foundation.
• On-the-Go: Its compact size makes it perfect to keep in your bag for easy reapplication throughout the day, ensuring you stay protected.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a burning rash occurs.

• Daily AM: Apply the Abib Quick Sunstick every single morning as the final step of your skincare routine, before makeup.
• Reapplication: Reapply midday and again in the afternoon, especially on days with high UV indexes in Mauritius.

This sunstick is a protective product and does not conflict with evening actives like exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) or retinoids. Simply ensure you use it the following morning to protect your skin.

• Immediately: Skin is protected from UV rays with a smooth, natural-looking finish. There is no greasy feeling or white cast.
• Within 2-4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, your skin is shielded from daily sun damage. This allows your other skincare products (like brightening serums) to work more effectively, and you may notice your skin tone looking more even.
• After 8+ Weeks: The preventative benefits become clear. You'll notice fewer new sun spots and a reduction in the signs of premature aging caused by sun exposure, helping to maintain your skin's long-term health and youthfulness.

• Myth: "My foundation has SPF, so I don't need a separate sunscreen."
  Reality: The amount of foundation you'd need to apply to get the stated SPF protection is far more than anyone typically uses. A dedicated, high-protection sunscreen like this stick ensures you get proper coverage. Use makeup with SPF as a top-up, not your primary protection.
• Myth: "I only need sunscreen on sunny days or at the beach."
  Reality: UVA rays, which cause aging and hyperpigmentation, penetrate clouds and windows. For effective prevention in a high-UV climate like Mauritius, daily sunscreen use is essential, even on overcast days or if you're mostly indoors.

• Works Well With: This sunstick should be the final step in your morning skincare routine. It layers well over hydrating toners, serums (including Vitamin C and Niacinamide), and lightweight moisturisers.
• Use With Caution: When applying over very rich, oily creams, allow extra time for the cream to absorb to avoid a heavy feeling. When reapplying over makeup, pat gently instead of rubbing to minimize disruption.
• Avoid: Do not apply skincare products *on top* of the sunstick (except for makeup), as this will dilute its protective film and compromise its effectiveness.

• Excellent for: Normal, Combination, and Oily skin types. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula provides protection without adding shine or feeling heavy.
• Good for: Sensitive skin. The formula is generally gentle and free of common irritants like fragrance.
• Use with care: Very Dry skin types may want to apply a dedicated moisturiser underneath to ensure adequate hydration throughout the day, as the finish is more natural than dewy.

This product is primarily focused on prevention and protection. It helps to address:

• Sun Protection: Shields skin from harmful UVA and UVB radiation.
• Prevention of Photoaging: Helps prevent the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity caused by sun exposure.
• Prevention of Hyperpigmentation: Reduces the risk of developing new sun spots, dark spots, and melasma, and prevents existing spots from darkening.
• Convenience: Solves the problem of difficult or messy sunscreen reapplication during the day.

• UV Filters: Chemical Filters (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate - Uvinul A Plus; Ethylhexyl Triazone - Uvinul T 150).
• Protection Standards: SPF 50+ (blocks ~98% of UVB rays) and PA++++ (offers extremely high protection against UVA rays).
• Application Amount: Glide the stick back and forth over each area of the skin 3 to 4 times for adequate coverage. A single quick swipe is not enough.
• Reapplication Rules: Reapply every 2-3 hours when exposed to the sun, and after swimming, sweating, or towel drying if using a water-resistant sunscreen for those activities (note: this stick is not rated for water resistance).
• White Cast: This formula is transparent and leaves no white cast, making it suitable for all skin tones.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: The chemical filters used are modern and generally considered safe for topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, as a precaution, we recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing any new skincare product during this time.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the product to a clean patch of skin on your inner arm, jawline, or behind your ear.
2. Wait 24 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product on your face.

• Texture: A solid, smooth balm that glides across the skin without any tugging or pulling.
• Feel: Feels lightweight and hydrating upon application, setting to a comfortable, non-tacky natural finish. It does not feel heavy or occlusive.
• Scent: Unscented.
• pH: Not applicable for an anhydrous (water-free) formula like this stick.
• Comedogenicity: The formula contains some ingredients (like Isopropyl Palmitate) that can be comedogenic for highly sensitive individuals. However, most users find it non-clogging. Individual responses vary, so patch testing is advised if you are very prone to breakouts.

• Issue: It feels a bit waxy or sits on top of my skin.
  Solution: You may have applied too much or your skin may have residue on it. Ensure your face is clean and dry. Apply with a few light swipes and gently pat to blend.
• Issue: It's pilling or balling up when I apply it.
  Solution: This usually happens when the skincare underneath hasn't fully absorbed. Wait at least 1-2 minutes after applying your moisturiser before using the sunstick.
• Issue: The stick seems to be melting in the heat.
  Solution: Store the sunstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, especially in the Mauritian summer. Do not leave it in a hot car.

This sunstick is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: Its lightweight, non-greasy finish is perfect for hot and humid weather, providing high protection without feeling heavy or causing excess shine.
• Dryer Winters / AC Environments: While lightweight, it contains moisturising ingredients that help prevent the skin from feeling tight or dry in air-conditioned offices or during the cooler, drier winter months.
• On-the-Go Protection: Ideal for reapplying sunscreen easily while you're out and about, whether you're at the beach, running errands, or commuting, ensuring you stay protected from the high year-round UV index.

Here's what real users are saying. (Anecdote/Aggregated sentiment.)

• "It glides on so smoothly and doesn't feel heavy or greasy at all... It leaves a beautiful natural, glowy finish that isn't oily, and it doesn't have a white cast. It's so convenient to carry around."
  — Paraphrased from a YesStyle review (2024-05)
• "This is my holy grail for reapplication. I have oily skin and this doesn't make me look like a greaseball. It has a natural finish and the curved shape makes it so easy to get around my nose and eyes."
  — Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (thread 2024-03)
• Fair Caveat: "It's great for convenience, but I find it can feel a little waxy if I apply too much at once. A few light layers are better than one heavy one. Also, it's not water-resistant, so I use a different sunscreen for the beach."
  — Paraphrased from an Amazon customer review (2024-01)
