Doctors’ responses
Reason: Dryness in winter leads to a rough texture, which reflects less light → your skin looks dull and darker. Some sunscreens (especially physical ones or ones with thick formulas) can leave a white cast or block the glow.
RX, 1) La Shield Fisico SPF 50 Apply twice daily
Use a hydrating moisturizer before sunscreen: Cetaphil DAM
2) Shampoo Ketostar Apply on your wet scalp for 5 min and then rinse it off use twice weekly for 4 weeks

Your skin dullness in winter is likely due to dryness and reduced moisture in the air, not sunscreen. Try switching to a hydrating sunscreen with added moisturizers like La Shield Fisico, Bioderma Photoderm Crème, or Re’equil Ultra Matte. Also, use a richer moisturizer in winter and treat dandruff with a mild anti-dandruff shampoo once or twice a week.
