Every dermatologist gives the same answer to “what is the one product I should use?” — sunscreen. In Pakistan’s UV levels, skipping SPF quietly causes the dark spots, uneven tone and early wrinkles you will spend thousands trying to reverse later.
What sun exposure actually does here
Pakistani cities sit at very-high UV for most of the year. Daily unprotected exposure — the commute, the balcony, the drive — accumulates into melasma, freckling and collagen breakdown. Eighty percent of visible facial aging is sun, not birthdays.

The indoor surprise
UVA rays pass through window glass. If you sit near a window at work or drive daily, you are getting aged on one side of your face. Indoor days still need SPF if light reaches you.

Using it correctly
- Two finger-lengths of product for face and neck
- Apply 15 minutes before stepping out, as your final skincare step
- Reapply every 3–4 hours outdoors
- Yes, in winter too — UV does not take December off
The math that convinces everyone
A Rs 750 sunblock lasts about two months. The whitening creams, peels and treatments people buy to undo sun damage cost fifty times more — and work half as well as prevention.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do darker skin tones need sunscreen?
Yes. Melanin gives some natural protection but does not prevent pigmentation, melasma or aging — and uneven darkening is more visible, not less.
Can I use sunblock under makeup?
It goes on after moisturizer and before base — and it actually helps foundation apply more evenly.
