☀️Sun Protection for Pakistani Skin | Broad-Spectrum UV Defense by ELIXIR

Your skin deserves protection that actually works in Pakistan — not imported formulas made for mild climates.
ELIXIR delivers true broad-spectrum SPF, powerful antioxidants, oil-control, and zero white cast — all dermatologist-tested and safe for sensitive skin.

🌤 Why Sun Protection Is Non-Negotiable in Pakistan

Pakistan has one of the highest UV indexes in South Asia — even higher than Dubai during peak months.

Your skin is exposed to:

  • UVA rays → premature aging, pigmentation, melasma

  • UVB rays → sunburn, tanning, DNA damage

  • HEV/Blue light → dark spots, uneven tone

  • Pollution + dust → accelerates oxidative stress

  • Strong winter sun → dry skin + increased sensitivity

This climate requires stronger, multi-filter, stable, dermatologist-backed sunscreen — NOT the watery Korean SPFs and NOT the oily, chalky local formulations that leave a cast.

ELIXIR Sunscreen (Shade) was formulated specifically for Pakistani skin — winter or summer, humid or dry.

🌞Why You Need Sunscreen Even in Winter

Most Pakistanis skip SPF in winter — and that’s where the damage begins.

UVA rays penetrate clouds, fog, and winter haze.

They cause:

  • Pigmentation

  • Melasma

  • Dark patches

  • Early aging

  • Fine lines

  • Deep dehydration

ELIXIR’s Shade doubles as:
✔ Sunscreen
✔ Moisturizer
✔ Antioxidant shield

Perfect for dry winter skin.
