Sunblock's role and efficacy within your skincare routine (open to non-sunblock users or infrequent users)

There are 18 questions and should not take more than 15 minutes. Your answers will help inform how sunblock can be more diverse in terms of its shade range, compatibility with different skin types, and texture (i.e more matte/dewy/ etc.)! Please do share this survey with others too and feel free to post it online!

If you pick "other," then please elaborate on your choice using the textbox. If you run out of room, then you can use the comments section.

Q.9
7. If you either don't use sunblock at all or infrequently (i.e no daily application), then could you please share why? *

If this question doesn't apply to you, then please write "N/A." Don't worry, no judgment, if you don't use sunblock or usage is infrequent :) That's what the survey is for, understanding why people do and don't use sunblock.

Q.20
16. Do you know of a product that: (1) has adequate SPF for your skin (2) no white cast, (3) nice texture on skin, (4) works as makeup( like replaces tinted moisturizer), (5) is within your budget/not too expensive? *

If you pick "Other," then please elaborate using the textbox. If you want more room, then please use the comments box. If you don't use sunblock, then please state so in the comments section.

Q.21
17. (Final Q). Does the following idea sound like a solution to your sunblock woes: a low budget, hypoallergenic skin tint you mix in with your sunblock (sunblock you dispense into your hand, not the whole bottle) to (1) eliminate a white cast left by mineral/chemical sunblock, (2) mattify greasy texture, and (3) provide buildable coverage without compromising your SPF? Note the tint is a separate, non-SPF product and meant to simplify your makeup routine (hence the coverage and color) so you can skip the initial layer of foundation/BB Cream etc. *

Regardless of what option you pick, PLEASE ELABORATE ON YOUR CHOICE through the TEXT BOX. If you run out of room, then please use the COMMENTS BOX.
