Sunblock

Over summers, I’ve been trying on different sunscreens. For someone who loves to go outdoors most of the sunny days, UV protection is a necessity.  So here’s my review of some of the sunblocks I’ve used over the years.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF50+ 
True to its name “Ultra Sheer”, this is by far the most translucent sunblock I’ve used.  It is easily absorbed by the skin and leaves no white marks.  I took this off the rack when I got intrigued by the ad’s tagline: 8 out of 10 women say this is the best sunblock, and I should agree.  Though almost invisible when applied, it works as hard as the traditional thick lotions.  Plus it has this cooling effect once struck by heat.  While Neutrogena costs a little more compared to other sunscreens in the market, it is worth every cent.

Nivea Children’s Sun Lotion SPF50  
When hitting the beach with the kids, this can be your best bet.  Aside from high SPF, it is proven safe even on children’s delicate skin so why would it be harmful on adults’.  Highly effective too, I never had sunburns with this on, even if I stayed under the sun for long a long time.  When you check the supermarket racks now, Nivea is now available in smaller, handy bottles hence consumes less space in your baggage.

  

Beach Hut Max SPF75++ 
So you hate the thick consistency most sunblock lotions have, this is for you.  Water-based and comes with a spray, application is much easier, even on those hard to reach areas like your back.  Aside from very high SPF, it is also non-sticky, non-greasy and hypoallergenic.  I just sooo love it.
