Shahnaz Forever SPF 40 Herbals Sun protective cream
- What the product claims: - keeps skin soft, nourished and radiant with even tone. Easily absorbed. Leaves no visible residue on skin Can be used by all skin types but more suited for normal to dry
- Size: 80 ml
- Price: Rs. 100/- (approx. don’t remember exactly. )
- Ingredients:Ricinus communis oil : castor oil (why can’t they directly write that instead of all these lengthy scary botanical names… people… I tell u)
- Kaolin: helps draw oils from your pores while ridding the skin surface of dead cells and dirt
- Glycerin: This is awesome for skin as we all know.
- Rubia cordifolia, : Manjistha in Hindi. Have astringent properties. Cures pigmentation pimples, acne, freckles and discoloration .can also used for gaining luster or glow of the skin.
- Cucumis sativus: cucumber (duh.. as As cucumber and the skin share the same level of hydrogen , it is wonder tonic for skin
- Sunflower oil: now why didn’t they write “Helianthus annuus” . Has smoothing properties and is considered noncomedogenic
- Prunus puddum: deciduous cherry tree. Couldn’t find anything else about it
- How to use – apply 20 mins before sun exposure
- My experience: I have a bitter history of sunscreens and this one was another long chapter in it. Most of the tall claims have proved false. Still to be rational here are few pros:
Thick consistency
After lot of rubbing.
What I like about Shahnaz Hussain Forever SPF40
- So many awesome ingredients (cos of which I bought this)
- Reasonable price
- Not oily. Gives a dry finish.
What I do not like about Shahnaz Hussain Forever SPF 40
- Leaves white cast. I have to rub and rub and rub it still no result. Ultimately I wipe white cast off with a napkin.
- So thick. it just sits on top of my skin.
- Contains parabens
Verdict: I totally hate it. I know it sounds very harsh. But yeah…. I used it once on my face and had to wash my face immediately as I looked as if climbed out of a white powder drum. Then I thought of using it on hands and feet. But now tired of rubbing for 10 mins. So it was a total waste for me

I had tried this…but thankfully it was a tiny sample bottle which was being distributed when this was released…horrible…The whitecast is uber-sick!!
i was so thinking of picking this up..and also their foundation now will stay away.
have u tried shahnaz foundation by the way ??
never and never want to try……………jite raho lakme, revlon, mac, lotus, bla bla
Nopes..never tried them..coz m pretty much anti-shahnaz..
and why is that
Never had gud exp with their products re…their kajal sucked..sunscreen sucked..their facial sux…nothing of theirs has worked for me…so i steer clear of that brand…
ohh i like their kajal though..rest all things were not that good on me..more of all i think their product is more for dry skin .
ya i know. i actually bought a tube. so imagine. such a waste
i used this …………and this is one of the worst sunscreens…………..it puts white cast so much on skin…………….i was very much disappointed thinking this………shehnaz product may be such???????????
But honestly Ani, I’ve never had a gud exp with shahnaz products…even their kajal smudges like crazy…i hate their products..
me too………………..pricely but kaam ke nehi…….
shahnaz products are not that great as we suppose them to be..they r super expensive ..but yes some of them do work but not all which i use to believe before.
last year shehnaz henna was Rs. 70……………………this year that’s Rs. 150………………..they r hiking the prices like anything
sheesh! thats a considerable hike ya…crazy they r… its ok to hike if the product works…but this is ridiculous..
oh gosh this is bad..this much of hike is not justified.
maine to last sentence me kuch aur likha tha change kaise ho gaya?
hehe it has some spelling mistake i corrected it
hope u don mind 
spelling mistake
wise she me spelling kab se dekha ja raha hai?
it is my habit as i myself make too many spelling mistake ..
Dekha jata hai na..A always takes care of friends..
Haha! u wont believe i checked right b4 reading this …i had a sudden feeling i shud check office mails..hihi..
telepathy…we r made for each other
That, i do believe from the bottom of my heart!! Meri Chikni !
u know today all big stars r in Hyderabad and will be dancing in Reddys’ marriage..
Wow! gatecrash na?
hhahaha they have this swap card entry..card card le chalti hun
Haha! gud idea…
she forgot to mention “white cement” as one of the ingredient in this sunscreen
Prerana Sharma recently posted..Sukto Bengali dish of karela – bitter gourd

Wah! Herbal cement!

i am fully with you anu. i bought one tube in April because of the
name “Shahnaz”. but i am thoroughly disappointed. anyways, i am using
it on my hands and feet.
which tube Nims??
They knew writing “Helianthus annuus” would put off people from buying the product!
I stick with Neutrogena Sunblock! Bestest product for my skin!
Hi Gautami…so many ppl r praising Neutrogena…now i hav t try it out..

hehe…true..after a while he’ll shrug it off and be happy that ur happy..
or say.. ‘U Women!!’ hehe..
yayya
i think time has arrived for us woman to rule the world 
and MAC too 
Well, this reminds me of wot my bro once said when i said the same thing..he said, ‘if u had to save the money u spend on cosmetics, u probably CUD become millionaires and rule the world..’ hihi..i was so miffed at him..
yaaa what will we do if we rule the world without cosmetics
zara i used this one ad i like it ..it doesnt have any tint though which u liked in Lotus one

I have the same thing in SPF 20. I love the smell and find it very easy to apply. It gets absorbed also soon.
The only thing I didn’t like is that it was meant for normal to dry skin and since I have oily skin, it makes my skin look oily fast. but nothing a compact can’t fix.

how is yur experience with shahnaz product Rajeshwari??
I liked it Annu… now since it makes my face oily i use it for my hands and legs.. i find it easy to spread and a little goes a long way.
For my oily skin I now like the VLCC sandal sunblock. what do u use?
Rajeswari Sailesh recently posted..Lakme Nail Color 250
i fnished my neutrogena one Rajeshwari and now using new the Lakme sunscreen which i am liking..u can give that try it goes well on our oily skin and then they have body lotions which too go well .
yeah.. have set my sights on the one for oily skin that looks like lacto calamine lotion
I used to hate lakme… always gave me a whitish cast when I used it on my hands and legs

thanks bhoomika. the face wash was baaaaaaaaad . atleast the review make and the comments make me feel nice…
haha yes when i write bad things about a product my heart feels lighter…
I used this just once and I hated it so much that I took a chance in returning the product to the shop and I was successful
and since then I have hated Shehnaz products…

it was in Katwaria or something with that name na which is pretty famous also..it has a branch in Abids and Secunderabad…starts with a ‘K’…I hated it so much that I returned it and anyways it was a tube so no hygiene problem too
