Dior DiorSnow SPF50 sunblock

I'm going to talk about my favorite sunblock of all time, my DiorSnow sunblock..well actually e title is not e precise name (dun understand why do skincare company likes to give such a long name tat make us,consumer, dun even remember).

I started using sunblock when I went to doctor for my acne. Dun really like it back then coz it's too sticky n made my face very oily at e afternoon. So when I stopped going to e doctor, I started looking from e dept stores products. First one I tried was Clinique Super city block SPF 26..it wasn't sticky but I'm looking for a higher spf, so I tried e SPF40. It was too oily for me n gave me clogged pores.

After tat I tried The Face Shop sunblock for acne prone skin(green tube) n it felt like those Nivea sunblock tat I used when I go swimming. I was using Avene skincare at tat time so I decided to try thei SPF40 emulsion. It was really sticky n left a white cast. N also made my foundation really hard to blend.

I quit using sunblock after those error trials until I read tat e most effective antiaging is sunblock. So I was back infront of my laptop, reading review after review. My candidates were sunblocks from Lancome, Clarins n Dior. I wasn't really into Clarins(my aunt use their skincare so e name Clarins back then refers to old women skincare ;p) so I crossed it from my list. I know my friend is using Lancome so I asked her advice, she said it's e best sunblock she ever tried. I was conviced on buying Lancome till I read a review from MUA, where a woman mentioned tat she has tried many brands including Clarins, Shiseido, Estee Lauder n even her former HG Lancome, but DiorSnow really makes her fall in love. Tat was enough to convince me to try DiorSnow, so when my parents when abroad e next time, I asked them to get it for me.

There are two types of DiorSnow, one is spf35 n e other is spf50, I tried e latter. They also have 2colors, transparant n pearl white. I chose transparant. First time using it I almost use it like I use anyother sunblock, directly apply it.but I read from e booklet tat I should put 3dots on my index,middle n ring finger, rub it together then pat it to my face. I tried n like this method, not only it's easier to spread e sunblock, it also means I need less sunblock in each application. Well it is an expensive product, so if there's any way to use it as little as possible, I'll use it ;)

This sunblock doubles up as a makeup base.it makes my foundation glides easier. Even if I put on my makeup at night, I still use this sunblock. Eventhough it's creamy but it doesn't clog my pores or gave comedones. I'm on my 2nd tube right now, this time is e pearl white. I prefer e transparant coz e pearl white enhance my dilated pores :( but other than tat, it's as good as e transparent.

I already ordered my 3rd tube, but sEeing e new sunblocks available at e market rite now made me wander should I try them or stick to my DiorSnow? Some of e sunblock tat I considering at e moment are from Lancome n Kiehls. Both are spf50. I've looked for reviews but since they are quite new, not much reviews for me to read. It's ‎​​˙˘˚°•⌣ok@Ɣ ;):D⌣•°˚˘˙ after all I still have half a tube to finish n my 3rd tube hasn't arrive :)
