How to Choose the Right Sunscreen and Serum Combo for Pakistani Weather

Skin Needs More Than Protection — It Needs Balance

Pakistani weather can be unpredictable — scorching heat one week and humidity the next. This rapid change often leaves your skin confused, dull, or irritated.
That’s why the right sunscreen and serum combo is essential — to not only protect from UV damage but also to repair and strengthen the skin barrier underneath.

ELIXIR brings together Shade (SPF 50) and The Niacinamide Serum — a dermatologist-approved, scientifically designed duo that keeps your skin balanced, hydrated, and glowing year-round.

🧴 Step 1: Protect with Shade by ELIXIR

Shade (SPF 50) is a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen designed specifically for Pakistan’s UV intensity and pollution exposure.

What makes it stand out:

Lightweight, non-greasy texture for daily use
No white cast – suitable for all skin tones
Dual protection from UVA & UVB rays
Enriched with antioxidants that fight environmental stress

🌿 “Your skin is not just protected — it’s preserved.”

💧 Step 2: Repair with The Niacinamide by ELIXIR

Pollution, sweat, and stress take a toll on your skin barrier. That’s where The Niacinamide Serum steps in.
Formulated with 10% Niacinamide and hydrating actives, it reduces dark spots, tightens pores, and improves texture — all while restoring your natural glow.

Benefits include:

Fades pigmentation & acne marks
Strengthens the skin barrier
Hydrates without clogging pores
Visibly smoother and brighter complexion

🔬 The Science Behind the Duo

Scientific studies have shown that combining UV protection (like SPF 50 sunscreens) with Niacinamide-based repair serums enhances overall skin resilience by 38% and decreases pigmentation by over 20% in consistent use (Source: Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2023).
