The Skin Care Regimen

The weather's been crap and a lighting has just been a short of friendly to take any decent photos. Well, better late than never. Something scheduled for 2016 showed up in 2017. But my skin care routine has always been very slowly evolving and it's quite hard to talk about products when they require such long periods of testing. But I'm quite satisfied with the routine and most of those in my arsenal so I'm a happy camper. Alright, don't think I use all of these at once, even though as much as I'd like to be that girl who has only one of everything, I like to switch things up. And masks will not be included in this post so if would like to see the masks, please go to the Face Mask Collective post.

Missha All Around Safe Block Sebum Zero Sun SPF50+/PA+++

Sunscreen, an essential if you don't want to prematurely age or get skin cancer. But I honestly find in irritating to buy one since I'm very picky with their consistencies and how they'll affect my makeup on top and how my skin will react with all its glorious oiliness to them. So I'm constantly jumping around looking for something that'll meet my needs.

I am beyond happy that more and more Japanese brands have been floating to the Philippines! And Bioré is one of them. I have picked up a few things from them in the past month since their prices are so affordable compared to those online! 

My HG sunscreen used to be the Bioré Aqua Sunscreen, I love it even now actually, but my wandering eye makes me want to try their other variants. 

And this baby caught my eye as I was running out of my go-to Sunplay Sunscreen.

The texture is light and not oily at all. It's more like a milky texture of the Aqua Watery variant. Well the product is a milk but it dries matte, in fact it does provide slight oil control. If you have dry skin you might not prefer this characteristic.

But one of the best things that is that if offers no white cast! And it's so blends nicely in to skin with I believe to be Bioré sunscreens' signature citrusy scent.

This is a lovely sunscreen which can be used as a makeup base for girls who hate thick and heavily scented sunscreens! And it's below P500 as well so it can be repurchased without a small fortune. Of course other variants are available. In fact I'm hoping to try them all sometime.

Isehan Sunkiller Super Lasting Base SPF50+ PA++++

Forever summer - one of the perks in living in the Philippines or in any tropical country. I once heard that the heat makes people behave more badly. But you know what makes the heat bad? Skin. Literally harmful UV rays on your skin everyday making you prone to skin cancer or melanomas and of course premature aging. Last month I bought two sunscreens since if some of you have read my last post, I am currently working at a hospital 14 km away from me and the commute (through jeepney not taxi) is just scorching. Sure I have it easy if I'm working graveyard but the hot sun on you for an hour is just a no-no. So I have been religiously putting on sunscreen everyday.
