Dermafique Soleil Defense Sunscreens Review

Hi guys,

If you ask me the most important step in your skincare routine, it would without a doubt be sunscreen! Protecting your skin is of primary importance because you don’t want to further ruin and aggravate your skin while treating/healing it nor do you want to get back all the skin concerns/issues once you have healed them.

Always cover up and lather a generous amount of sunscreen when you are stepping out in the sun, especially between 9 AM and 4 PM. UVA rays also pass through windows, so you need sunscreen indoors as well.

UVA rays cause skin aging and UVB rays cause skin burning. About 10% of solar radiation is UV, 40% is visible light, and 50% is infrared light

Infrared light is the one that at high intensity causes skin pigmentation i.e. melasma, age spots, freckles, etc., and also breaks down collagen in the skin which is the protein in the skin that keeps the skin looking young, supple, and bouncy, ultimately leading to aging.

Infrared rays also come from less obvious sources within the house i.e. electronic devices, tube lights, bulbs, gas burners, etc.

SPF i.e Sun Protection Factor only denotes the time we can spend exposed to the sun. Eg: If a person gets tanned in 10 minutes in the sun without sunscreen, SPF 30 would protect him for 30*10=300 minutes and SPF 50 for 50*10=500 minutes, after which he would need to reapply the sunscreen.

So a higher SPF does not guarantee higher protection, also for broad-spectrum protection you need to check PA ratings. But most sunscreens do not offer protection against infrared light and visible light.

Dermafique Soleil Defense Range is powered by the revolutionary Full Light Technology, designed to protect your skin from the entire Sun Spectrum with RSF 90, PA++, and SPF 50, targets 360° Sun Spectrum to shield the skin from the solar aggression of Visible light, Infrared, UVA, and UVB.

·         Dermafique Soleil Defense (All Matte), 90 gm for INR 979 – It is a fragrance-free sun protection formula that protects skin from harmful effects of the Full Sun Spectrum i.e. Visible Light, Infrared (IR), UVA, and UVB. Works best on normal to oily skin 

·         Soleil Defense (Gel Creme), 50 gm for INR 749 – it is a gel-based sun protection formula that targets 360° Sun Spectrum and shields skin from the solar aggression of Visible Light + Infrared (IR) + UVA + UVB. Works best on all skin types.

Soleil Defense All Matte is an oil-in-water emulsion that is lightweight, fragrance-free, non-oily, non-patchy, and incredibly comfortable to wear even in tropical weather conditions. It has a matte finish and is dermatologically tested on Indian skin, it is perfect for all skin types, especially oily to combination skin.

The All Matte sunscreen comes in this sleek pump packaging, you need about 1-1.5 pumps for the entire face and neck. It absorbs and blends quickly, leaves behind no white cast, and is very comfortable on the skin, even for wearing underneath makeup.

Both the sunscreens are a blend of physical and chemical. They also have Niacinamide, Vitamin E, and Licorice Root extract.

Dermafique Soleil Defense Gel Crème SPF 30 is meant for all skin types and is a super lightweight, gel formula. It blends in a jiffy, has a very soft fragrance, and is super comfortable to use. I wear it every day indoors and reach for the SPF50 one when I have to step out.

If you have sensitive skin and prefer fragrance-free skincare, I would recommend the All Matte.

Of course, both the sunscreens are unisex and can be used by both men and women.

Absolutely loving both the sunscreens and using them for the past two weeks now, highly recommend them!

Dermafique Bio Cellulose Face Masque Review

Dermafique Bio Cellulose Face Masque Review

Hi guys,

Don’t we all love a good pampering session every now and then? I love masking, especially on weekends while the weather is changing outdoors.  Currently I am loving this new launch by Dermafique, which is their range of Bio Cellulose Face Masques. Why, you ask? Because it’s a perfect burst of hydration for the dry and dehydrated skin when the weather is changing and the skin definitely needs that added moisture burst. 

Why is the Dermafique Bio Cellulose Masque better than the regular Tissue based sheet masks?

The Dermafique Bio Cellulose Masque delivers superior hydration and efficacy, as compared to other masks. The range is made of biodegradable Bio Cellulose fibers, and are Made of 100% Natural Coconut Water. Bio Cellulose fibers have great absorbency and penetration. They don’t dry out on the skin. Ordinary tissue masks don’t adhere very well on the face and tend to fall off or slip and even tear off at places when trying to adjust. Bio Cellulose Masks are thicker comparatively, never tear off, and adhere to the skin perfectly and do not fall off or slide!

Dermafique Bio Cellulose Masques are derived from 100% Natural Coconut Water, they use patented technology and are dermatologically tested on Indian Skin as well!

Dermafique has launched 3 Bio Cellulose Face Masques,

  • Charcoal – For Anti Pollution
  • Pore Tightening –  For tightening pores and providing hydration
  • Tone Perfecting – To reduce uneven skin tone

The Dermafique Bio Cellulose Charcoal Face Masque offers deep pore cleansing which helps unclog pores and removes dead skin, leaving it cleaner, brighter and healthier. Charcoal sucks out the toxins and pollutants from the skin and the hydrating ingredients like glycerin, honey, green tea, etc. give that added moisture boost to the skin.

The Dermafique Bio Cellulose Pore Tightening Masque tightens skin pores and provides deep hydration to the skin. It detoxifies and purifies skin, making it look smoother, softer and firmer. The second ingredient here is Niacinamide which helps in reducing the appearance of pores, controlling the sebum/oil production and calming irritated/inflammed skin.

The Dermafique Bio Cellulose Tone Perfecting Masque leaves skin appearing more even toned. It improves skin complexion by reducing the appearance of blemishes and dark spots, making it look more youthful and radiant. The second ingredient here again is Niacinamide, and additionally it has Aloe Vera, Glycerin, Chamomile and Grapefruit extracts as primary ingredients that help nourish and hydrate the skin and add that needed moisture back to the skin making it soft and plump.

They are priced at Rs.299/- each and are meant for all skin types.

How to use:

Open the pack and unfold the masque, discard the non-woven film and place the mask on the face, remove the white plastic film and adjust the mask. Keep it for 30 minutes and then take off, gently massage/pat your skin or wash with water, if required.

My experience:

Dermafique Bio Cellulose Masque is definitely one of the best masks I have used. It fit the contours of my face perfectly and did not slide off even once. There was absolutely no issue in using it, no messiness or serum dripping everywhere as the masque holds the serum well.

I used the Tone Perfecting Masque and my skin felt soft, plump and hydrated immediately. Also there was no stickiness after removing the mask and the serum got absorbed into the skin. The masque was cooling and refreshing, and for summers if you store it in a refrigerator, it will be all the more refreshing. It’s perfect for a chilled weekend at home, where you do nothing and still get a facial like glow in 30 minutes.

Overall, I am pretty happy with the Tone Perfecting Masque and how my skin looked after. I would highly recommend the Dermafique Bio Cellulose Face Masques. You can buy them HERE
