Sunscreens that are only meant to shield UV rays are now becoming a thing of the past as brands veer towards innovating an essential classic, giving it more benefits to eliminate the need for using additional products. Enter beauty sunscreens.
I think the concept of beauty sunscreens came to light because I believe more and more women are looking for ways to cut down on product usage in order to shorten their preparation time and minimize environmental footprint; and here we are!
Here are some of the beauty sunscreens I've used and will recommend; I'll share not only their SPF level, but also the beauty benefits you can get from them.

Good list! I'm not noticing this Biore Anti-pollution sunscreen on Watsons or other supermarkets? Is this out in the market already? I am a constant user of Biore sunscreen (milk and whitening), so far no harmful effects on my face. :) And Ponds has a sunscreen product na din pala! :)
ReplyDeletedefinitely want to try all of them. huhu but the budget is tight.which of these is budget friendly? thanks
ReplyDeletePonds at Biore!! Pero parang gusto kong itry yung Vitapack dahil sa 8 in 1 benefits na bonggang bongga! Ang dami palang sunscreen choices na may added benefits! 💐
ReplyDeleteHooray for Mario Badescu and Biore! Biore is my to go for sunscreen coz I can easily buy it in the supermarket unlike Mario Badescu huhu. I am not aware of the other brands but thank you for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteI only tried Etude House Sunprise, but for the rest of the list I haven't tried any of them LOL!
ReplyDeleteI don't use sunscreen or sunblock before until I got hook on watching beauty videos and reading beauty blogs that's when I started using it. I haven't tried any of those mention. Currently, I'm using Cetaphil Daylong.
ReplyDeleteOne of my mistakes in life is that i didn't start taking care of my skin at an early age. I don't have a skincare routine then. It was only until i started reading blogs when i developed a habit of using skincare products and regularly applied moisturizers and sunscreen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list! I would want to try the one from Etude.
