Best Sunblock [Thread 5]

[itslawvely]

I am using Banana Boat in spray type. For urgent purposes lang to kasi ang mahal. Haha. My lotion naman has spf

^sis magkano yan if in pesos na? Madali ba yan makita sa japan or may specific store lang? Thanks sis

[vanity fair]

^ It's very common in Japan.  Palagi nga ako nagpapabili pag may pupunta sa Japan.  This sunscreen is good for everyday use but i would not recommend it for beach or extreme outdoor use.  My favourite youtuber on skincare is Dr Dray.  She's a dermatologist in the US.  She reviewed the Japanese Nivea & was very impressed by its ingredients & ease of use.

VMV hypoallergenic for me. Mejo mahirap sya iblend and muka sya may white cast kasi white talaga ang color nia pag inapply pero wala naman sa photos. Sobrang ok din skin ko sakanya walang harsh reaction.

I get small red spots/rashes with Biore Watery Essence, eventually it goes away. Gusto ko pa naman ito dahil walang whitecast at magaan lang. To those who experienced the same thing, what do you recommend as an alternative? Thank you!

[baby_chichay]

^used the Biore Watery Essence for just a few days and it's one of the worst sunscreens I have used. It feels hot on the skin on its own, and pag naarawan, it burns. I also had bumps / whiteheads / clogged pores from using it. Some of them ang tagal nawala. Naging cystic pa yung iba. Sobrang stubborn nung naging spots ko from using it.

Went back to using First Skin Sunscreen from Obagi. I totally love it, good thing available na ulit sya. Pricey but worth it. Never had problems with it. Works well under makeup. Never ako umitim here even with Tret.

[lesters_gal]

Sorry for my ignorance pero ang sunblock ba nakaka clog ng pores? Masyado akong paranoid ngayon maglagay ng kung ano2x sa face ko kasi major breakout ako for two months now. And yung moisturizer na ginagamit ko now walang SPF.

[baby_chichay]

^yes some sunblocks can cause clogged pores. especially those with oily skin types. chemical sunscreens are the culprit most of the time. mas okay ang physical sunscreen for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Physical Sunscreen = titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, other active minerals as main ingredient.

Chemical Sunscreen = oxybenzone, octinoxate, other organic ingredients that produce a chemical reaction when exposed to heat.

hence my bad experience with Biore - which is a chemical sunscreen.

[mimiku]

Biore has a physical sunscreen- Yung UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence with BB. Zinc Oxide ang main ingredient.

[baby_chichay]

^ is it? it is touted as a chemical sunscreen rather a physical (mineral) one. checked its ingredients just now. walang zinc oxide?

EDIT: oh you mean the BB / tinted moisturizer with SPF? I was referring to the plain Watery Essence sunscreen. that's what i used.

[lesters_gal]

^Thanks sis for explaining. Wow trial and error din pala ang pagpili ng sunblock for skin. Kaloka.  I have combination skin. Oily sa Tzone. And the rest normal naman. I have here yung Sunblock ng La Roche Posay. I?ll check kung Physical Suncreen sha or chemical.

[px17]

Has anyone tried belo tinted suncreen? How was it? okay ba siya for "ayaw mag make-up" days? There are times kasi na I want to rest my face from cushion since foundation pa rin naman siya. Ang hirap kasi basta maniwala sa beauty blogs since nakukuha nila ng free yung product.

[mimiku]

^Tried it. Maganda naman. Sobrang flawless ako dun lalo na sa pictures. Minsan nakakainis kasi pagkahugas ko mukha ko, kita na naman imperfections lol. Tumigil lang ako noong naiwan ko siya sa Pinas nung pumunta ako abroad.

[px17]

^thank you sis! matry na nga siya. Ilang beses ko na kasi tinitignan yung product kukunin ko tas bibitawan  ko. haha

Yup. Actually more of a tinted sunscreen siya. I think this is the only Biore variant na physical sa line nila.

[lordknight_aiz.18]

^^ yes. Gel type sunblock ang recommended for oily skin.

[vanity fair]

The Biore Aqua Rich Watery Gel (blue bottle) has a physical filter which is Titanium Dioxide.  The one in the tube, Aqua Rich Watery Essence has none.  I like the one in bottle more kasi parang less ang alcohol content.

[itslawvely]

Ako I'm leaning towards tinted moisturizer with SPF na. What I have right now is The Balm Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 18. Di naman daw kailangan sobrang taas ng SPF. Pansin ko kasi kapag mataas subscreen lalo na yung BB cream na gamit ko dati, sobrang unfriendly sa daylight shooting. Grabe ang white cast.

Anyone here who is also using tinted moisturizer?
