How to Use Lakme Sun Expert Compact
- Apply your usual skincare and sunscreen first.
- Lakme advises blending the compact onto the skin with the applicator 15 minutes before sun exposure.
- Press, rather than rub, the powder over the face for an even layer.
- Touch up through the day to control shine and top up protection.
Who It Suits
It suits oily and combination skin, and anyone who dislikes reapplying cream sunscreen over makeup. Very dry skin may find a powder finish too matte.
Good to Know Before You Buy
- A thin layer of powder gives less protection than the amount used in SPF testing. Use it as a top-up over a regular sunscreen, not as your only sun protection.
- It contains perfume and parabens. Patch-test if you have sensitive skin.
- It comes in a single shade. Swatch it on your jawline to check the match.
- Keep the compact closed and dry to protect the powder.
What We Will Not Claim
- We will not claim it replaces your daily sunscreen.
- We will not claim a set number of hours of oil control or sun protection.
- We will not claim the shade suits every skin tone.
