Living in the Middle East can play havoc with ones skin, thanks to soaring temperatures, arid – or humid – air and year-round sunshine. Because of this, it’s more important than ever to protect your self from skin damage, especially inflicted by the blazing sun. Adding sunscreen with SPF 50 to your daily routine is necessary, and coming to the rescue with an affordable and highly rated formula is COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream, which has taken the number three spot on Amazon’s beauty best-seller list. The soothing sunscreen with SPF 50 is available for AED40, making it incredibly affordable when compared to leading and loved facial sunscreens.

Coming in a handy 50ml travel-size bottle, perfect for your handbag, pool bag or your hand luggage, the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream is formulated with Aloe Arborescens Leaf Extract, making this sunscreen with SPF 50 feel more like a moisturiser than traditional sunblock.

COSRX Sunscreen SPF50 for face

COSRX is a popular and loved Korean skincare brand priding itself on delivering effective science-based formulas, and its Aloe Soothing Sun Cream appears to be a hit. Reviewers praised the sunscreen for not leaving any white cast on the face, while leaving skin moisturised – rather than dry and stripped as some competitors do. Other highlights of the sunscreen include not leaving the face feeling great, and being able to work year-round, thanks to its lightweight formula which stays cool in heat and humidity and moisturising in dry season.

Along with an attractive and minimalist white, black and green bottle, the SPF 50 sunscreen is praised for being oil-free, leaving the skin soft without residue, and blending seamlessly under makeup. The SPF50 sunscreen is so well-liked, in fact, it’s racked up over 11,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, shooting it to the website’s beauty bestseller list, being described as the perfect essential for summer and summer travel.
