Avène Very High Protection Cream SPF 50+



A Sunscreen is one of the most important skincare items that everyone should own. No matter whether you're a male or female, what's your skin type or skin tone; sunscreen is a must-have product especially in Bahrain's super hot and humid weather!

· What is a sunscreen?
A sunscreen or sun block: "is a lotion, gel, or spray that reflects the sun's Ultraviolet radiation on the skin exposed to sunlight and thus helps protect against sunburns."

· Why do you need a sunscreen?
You might think that all those years you've never tried sunscreen because you don't need it at all and nothing seems wrong. However, the side effects of not using sunscreen everyday are huge but going to be noticeable only in the long-run. Sunscreen protects the skin from discoloration or sun burns. And perhaps the biggest advantage of sunscreen that it is proved to slows the aging process for women and fines the wrinkles as well as it helps prevent two types of skin cancer.

· Does it need to be expensive to be good?
When It comes to skincare products, they don't need to be from high-end brands in order to be effective. The main thing I look for when I shop for a skincare item is whether it's gentle on the skin or not.

· Why Avène sunscreen?
I've tried many sunscreens out there in the market from different brands, such as Bioderma, Neutrogena, and Nevia, and QV. Some of them worked just fine, and some of them irritated my skin and left a white cast on my face because of the high SPF. Among all the list I've tried, Avène sunscreen was my superhero product that became to me an everyday essential!

Avène sunscreen is a water resistant lotion that has an SPF50+ which is very good for Bahrain's climate, and contains both UVA and UVA protection. It does not make your face greasy at all and feels so soft on the skin. Also, it works perfect as a primer for your makeup!

The packaging looks fresh and nice, it's small so you can through it in your bag easily and reapply every two or four hours. You can find it in all pharmacies in Bahrain for BD12, I got mine from Boots Pharmacy and it definitely worth the price!

· How do i rate this product?
5.0/5.0 

*Tip: You have to make sure that your sunscreen has at least SPF20+ and contains both UVA and UVB to provide you with the full protection!

  3. Hello Jahangir,

    Yes, you can find it and any pharmacy in Bahrain, for example Nasser, Boots, or Al Dawaa. I got mine from Boots pharmacy for BD11 the first time, then i got the second bottle for BD12 :D but never mind, still worth the price!

    Glad you found it helpful Mohammed .. :)
