Summer is here! Between daily exposure to the fierce sun and beach vacations and other outdoor activities, sunscreen is a must. It\u2019s never too late to scout for sunscreens until you find the one that\u2019s your Holy Grail. Here’s a brief intro on how to choose the most suitable sunscreen for yourself:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunscreen 101<\/strong>
\nSPF:<\/i>
\n\u2022 The shortened form for \u201cSun Protection Factor.\u201d
\n\u2022 Indicates the protection against UVB<\/strong> rays, which is the chief cause of skin reddening and sunburn.
\n\u2022 SPF 15: 93% UVB protection; SPF 30: 97%; SPF 50: 98%.
\n\u2022 The Skin Cancer Foundation maintains that adequate protection would require SPF 15 or higher, while the American Academy of Dermatology recommends choosing a sunscreen of at least SPF 30.<\/p>\n

PA:<\/i>
\n\u2022 Indicates the protection against UVA<\/strong> rays, which can prematurely age your skin, causing wrinkles and age spots.
\n\u2022 Ranked as PA+, PA++, PA+++ or sometimes PA++++. More plus symbols means better protection.<\/p>\n

Potential Hazards:<\/i>
\n\u2022 Active ingredients in sunscreens come in two forms: mineral and chemical filters. Each may pose potential hazards.
\n\u2022 The organic chemical oxybenzone<\/strong>, for instance, may cause skin allergies and affect fertility.<\/p>\n

Spray sunscreen:<\/i>
\n\u2022 Spray sunscreens can be inhaled<\/strong> and don\u2019t provide complete coverage.
\n\u2022 The US Food and Drug Administration advises consumers not to use spray sunscreen on children.
\n\u2022 The pressurized containers may not be allowed on flights.<\/p>\n

Biore UV Bright Face Milk SPF 50+ PA+++<\/strong>
\nNow that you have a better idea of what you\u2019re putting onto your skin, meet my newfound love: Biore UV Bright Face Milk SPF 50+ PA+++<\/strong><\/a>. A month ago, I was in southern France for a two-week vacation and decided to test this face sunscreen from Biore under the Provence sun. Over there, temperature reached 37 degrees Celsius during the day and the UV index was a consistent 9 out of 11. Sunset was at 10pm so it was a long day\u2019s journey into night!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWhat\u2019s better than lazing at the dock when you\u2019re surrounded by the turquoise waters of
\nLake Annecy under the radiant sun? Don\u2019t get sunburned though!<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI didn\u2019t bring my swimsuit, so I tried water-biking.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nMy three talismans against the sun: Woven hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Descriptions at the back state that the sunscreen boasts a broad-spectrum protection, protecting skin from both UVA and UVB rays. The transparent zinc oxide mineral powder enhances UV protection and spreads evenly on skin, while Sofcare-STG technology makes coverage long-lasting, lightweight and non-sticky. It’s also stated that the sunscreen includes light-reflecting powder and a sakura<\/i> tint for a luminous, rosy finish, making it an ideal makeup base to balance skin tone and cover dullness or blemishes.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe 30ml bottle is easy to carry around, and should last for a month when used daily.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe milky lotion has a runny texture and a slightly pink tint. Shake well before use.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe refined liquid is non-greasy, non-sticky and glides on easily. It\u2019s almost weightless,
\nand I hardly noticed that I was wearing it.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThere\u2019s a glossy sheen after application, but it dries out soon enough. The finish is matte,
\nvelvety and powdery, making it particularly suitable for oily skin or humid weather.
\nThe slight white cast also helps to even complexion.<\/i><\/p>\n

After a whole day basking in the sun, I returned to the hotel and removed the sunscreen with makeup remover<\/a> and face cleanser.<\/p>\n

Biore UV Bright Face Milk SPF 50+ PA+++<\/strong> was my hero for the entire two weeks, during which I\u2019d sometimes abandoned makeup, relying solely on the sunscreen\u2019s sheer and buildable coverage.<\/p>\n

Though the sunscreen contains alcohol which may cause dryness, there were no breakouts or irritations on my acne-prone, combination skin. My only concern is that it could make your skin rather dry, so I\u2019d recommend applying moisturizer<\/a> before or after the sunscreen. I was also relieved to find out that it didn\u2019t melt even when I was sweating heavily. You know how embarrassing it can be when white sweat drips from your face.<\/p>\n

Since the sunscreen\u2019s a bit on the dry side, I\u2019d suggest using it daily along with moisturizer only during summer, if you have oily skin or live in humid climate. Also, its pinkish tint makes it not suitable for very dark or yellowish skin tones. Other than that, Biore UV Bright Face Milk SPF 50+ PA+++<\/strong> is a real deal two-in-one sunscreen\/ makeup base, and at US$11.89 for 30ml, it\u2019s affordable too!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI used another sunscreen for my body. This photo shows my two-toned feet at the end of the
\nwater-biking day (They still kind of look like this today.)<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe sunscreen was small enough to fit into my cosmetics bag alongside a
\ntravel-size hand cream and an SPF lip gloss.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
