I have always worn sunscreen every day but have tried various brands over the years in search of something perfect for my combination, blemish prone skin. Sunscreens would often feel heavy on my skin, leave an oily residue or interfere with the application of my makeup. That was until I started using the Mecca SPF 30 Facial Sunscreen at the start of the 2016 summer.
The packaging is simple and all of the product can be squeezed out. It smooths easily over my face and I can apply makeup straight away, although I usually try to wait a few minutes. As it is a sunscreen, there is definitely a strong scent, but it is fresh and summery, not unpleasant. Once it has been applied I can no longer smell it. The best part about this sunscreen for me is that it feels lightweight and often unnoticeable on my skin, and my makeup applies exactly the same as it would without the sunscreen underneath. This makes it easier to keep sunscreen as part of my daily routine.
The price is higher than a supermarket sunscreen, but is certainly competitive with cosmetic brand sunscreens. I also find that I don't have to use a moisturiser in the morning when I'm using this so I am saving costs by only needing a night cream. It also lasts a long time as a little goes a long way.
I have purchased a range of Mecca sunscreens and unless anything changes, I will be sticking to this brand.
I purchased this after reading reviews online and boy oh boy was I not disappointed. Despite being a thicker consistency to what I would prefer, it applies like a dream and absorbs well into skin. This does not leave a ghastly white layer like most products and is not thick and suffocating on my skin like many other products I have tried.
I love the scent. I love how it wears. I love how beautifully it applies.
It is great alone or under make up, there is no horrible white flash back in photos when used under foundation.
This does not sting or hurt my eyes if I am working out or go swimming which is a huge plus in my books. It washes off beautifully after wear and does not leave a nasty film or horrible layer that requires scrubbing to remove.
I love this product, will continue to buy it again and again and cannot recommend it enough!
Tips: This works really well as a base under make up. A perfect double duty product while protecting you from the suns harsh rays.. Great for children too!
