This week I would like to introduce you to my favourite sunscreens. I try to apply sunscreen on myself (especially the face area) all around the year. But from around the end of April to the beginning of May, I definitely put on sunscreen everyday. I like the look of a healthy beautifully tanned skin but I prefer a clear and bright skin for myself. Also, getting sunburnt increases the risk of you getting skin cancer so I try to not get sunburnt. Also, when I went to primary school in Australia, we were not allowed to go outside during break time if we didn’t have a hat. There everyone had sunscreen on during the summer, and it became a habit for me to put on sunscreen everyday and frequently. So, let’s go on and introduce you to my favourite sunscreens!
Skin Aqua: Tone Up UV Essence “Lavender”
This sunscreen has a lavender tint which gives you clear skin due to the effect of the color. Lavender is made up of blue which gives you clear skin and pink which gives you life and a little bit of blush and liveliness. So, it will make your bare skin more beautiful and make it look like it has a veil of makeup. Especially, when your face hits the sun it reflects the light and makes your skin look clearer and gives you a natural highlight. I use this when I don’t apply makeup all day or when I want to use lavender as a control color for underneath my makeup.
Bioré: UV Athlizm Skin Protect Essence
This is the other sunscreen I use on a daily basis. I feel like it has more effect than the one above so I use it when I go out for the whole day. Also, this is waterproof so I use it when I go to the pool or sea and if I reapply it every 1.5-2 hour, I don’t get sunburnt as much. From this time on I put sunscreen on my body, and this is the only sunscreen I apply on my body. I try to apply sunscreen the most on my décolleté area and hand, which can become spots easily. I love this because it doesn’t come off easily with sweat, it doesn’t have white powder residue, and it is very easy to spread.
Shiseido: Clear Stick UV Protector
I don’t use this everyday but I use it usually when touching up on my makeup. If I’m going to the pool or the ocean I always bring the one above, and for other times I usually have a powder foundation. However, if I feel like I need a proper sunscreen for that day I always bring this with me. I love it because it creates no mess, you don’t need to use your hands and it has no color to it. It has some scent to it but for me it isn’t strong and is rather pleasant. You can also use it on your body so I do that as well.
Lancôme: UV Expert Tone Up Milk “Rosy Bloom”
I use this more as a primer than a sunscreen but the effect as a sunscreen is very high, so I’m going to put it on the list here. I think this product is only available in Asia but it is very famous over here. The color has been chosen from 64, to fit perfectly to the ideal skin tone. I have used it since it was first released and I have loved it from the start. It doesn’t have the sticky feeling a lot of other sunscreen have maybe because it is more of a primer, but you can go on to applying your makeup right after it. I use this when I want to look a little bit more feminine, soft or gentle. I love this because it makes my skin look like lovable want to touch skin, which is my favorite type.
This is the end of my favorite sunscreen list. These days there are so many new sunscreens out on the market, so I would like to try more this summer. I will update you the list if there is any new favorites. From this season on you can not live without sunscreen, so I hope everyone doesn’t get sunburnt.
