Egyptian sun is very strong and I don't think spf 15 is really enough. If you have them in Egypt I would try Avene or Dr.Hauschka or Lancaster. I have sensitive skin and I only use these ones.

Using SPF 15 will ensure that you age prematurely. It's also bad for the health of your skin.

'Not so dark' means 'not so much melanin' and 'not so much natural protection' from the sun. Protect your health and your beauty.

Use SPF 15 now and you will regret it. I understand not liking the appearance of pores - I hate that too - but you are setting yourself up for much worse troubles.

Pangolin has some god suggestions. Also, look up Paula Begoun. She has good books about skin care products, evaluates different lines, has a website, and a free email newsletter.
