Sunscreen Mistakes Most Pakistanis Make — And How to Fix Them

Karachi ki humidity ho ya Islamabad ki dry heat — sunscreen ko sahi tarah use karna hi real protection deta hai. Yahan sab se common SPF mistakes aur un ke quick fixes.

Mistake #1 — Bohat kam lagana
Fix: Face + neck ke liye two-finger rule. 2–3 ghantay baad reapply.
Mistake #2 — Sirf subah lagana, mid-day reapply nahin
Fix: Outdoors mein 2–3 ghantay baad top-up. Makeup upar se clear gel SPF ko press kar ke lagayen.
Mistake #3 — Wrong texture (cast/greasy feel)
Fix: Oily/combination: Gel SPF 50. Sensitive: Mineral SPF 70. Coverage chahiye: BB Tinted SPF 65. Dry/normal glow: Glow Boost SPF 65.
Mistake #4 — White cast se bachnay ke liye bohat kam lagana
Fix: Tinted ya clear gel formats choose karein; dot-blend method use karein.
Mistake #5 — SPF ko makeup ke sath rub karna (pilling)
Fix: Layers ko 20–30s set hon dein; sponge se press karen. Heavier creams ke bajaye moisturizer+SPF try karein.
Mistake #6 — Sirf chehray par lagana (ear/hands skip)
Fix: Ears, neck, hands ko bhi cover karein; bike/drive pe extra top-up.
