Mine to share me some info on sun block?
I'm having problem with my skin cause my skin is too fair and blemished easily under the sun
Thank for sharing

Hmm I'm using Neutrogena Ultra Sheer SPF15 and Olay Total Effects SPF 15 interchangeably for face at the moment. No complain!

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer SPF30 for body. I find SPF55 sticky.

From my understanding, since it's a chemical sunblock and it breaks down after time that said no protection after that so the key is to re-apply every 2-3hrs especially if you're outdoor. Further to note that sunblock does not prevent you from tanning, it prevents sunburn and protects you from skin damage.

Added on May 1, 2008, 10:41 pmAvene Sun Block It's spf 50. It's works fine for me. coz when i apply, the 1st few minutes, it's a little bit sticky. But after a while, it's not sticky.
the price is a little bit expensive. I think this brand is hard to find in KL. I ask my sis bought from singapore for me. It's cost around RM65++

oh, another thing is, you gals try to avoid expose to sun too much.. coz it's going to hurt your skin very seriously.. if you don't take care and avoid the sun light.. when you are young, you don't feel anything.. but once you are old, you will know how serious is after you expose to the sun too much.. Although, you apply sun block, but still it's not a enough good protection for sunlight.

you can try Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF 50+. Guarantee 100% non sticky.

Thanx liew and blackburry ♥

Dear liew,

I'll have a look @ Avene, Neutrogena and Biore's sunblock, see which one more suit me.
I tried Avene's cleanser bt it is too mild for me.
However Avene's Thermal Spring Water is really good
I bought Avene product at Guardian.
You can have a try at Guardian around KL.


Dear blackburry,

Thanx for ur suggestion.
I will consider it.
100% non-stick encourages me to own it

lol.. yeah, Avene's skincare is quite good. but a little bit expensive compare with other brands.I only use Avene's sunblock and skin recovery cream. I just change from oil of ulay to avene for moisturizer, i was advice use avene's skin recovery cream as moisturizer. it's not very sticky either. i didn't use avene's cleanser, i just use oil of ulay's cleaner coz it's cheaper.. haha...

oh.. is it? probably i really need to go and check it out. coz i always told that, 'oh, we don't hv the stock' or 'sorry, you need to place a order'.

what type of sunblock for malaysian beach climate?

it doesnt mean higher the SPA, the better it is... u should see the type of the skin u have. if u have oily skin, it is better to use the a lower SPA like 15... cuz it is kinda thick and oily when the SPA is high. and reapply it every 2-3 hours when u think necessary.. and also remember to look at another component: UV protection...

so try to get those with SPA and UV protection...

ya. correct. u only need very high spf if u expose to the sun long hours. if u r working in office n only go out during lunch then spf15 is more than enough. normal ppl only need spf15.

since ur skin is blemished, then i suggest Dermalogica Sheer Tint Redness Relief spf15. its not oily and its very good for sensitive skin. ur skin wont get red easily... im using it...

hi gurl,

i think u should go to a beauty consultant coz dey r more professional den any of us..
bdy, u can ask den to check ur skin type n dey will recommended a better skin care for ur skin coz not all products is suitable for every1's skin.
i hv dry inside but oily in de outside skin.. T.T very mah huan de.. so go n hv ur skin check ya!!

hmm I'm using Sun Play Perfect Shield SPF130. LOL
RM29.90

cause I'm always under the hot sun playing football.
that's why I'm using sunblock.

for me better you use an umbrella it help more..

I'm using Biore one. But if you got dry skin, i dont think it's suitable for you. My skin is oily at T zone and some other part. Yeah umbrella also useful. But buy the one with silver layer outside one. I don't know what to call that one. hehe

Oh nice suggestion, but beauty consultant usually introduce expensive product. I'm poor X.x


Wow SPF130 is quite high! Feel sticky ma?

lol yea umbrella...my stupid umbrella owayz rosak one...
then I give up to get a new umbrella...
Eiks...I must work hard for my face

Thanx for your suggestion!

try Elken's sunscreen

same here A beautician told me before my face is oily but dehydrated..

banana boat lor......cheaper

but it all depend on ur skin which can tahan for what kind of the brand.

some ppl say they cant use banana boat..... it make their skin reddish

can try SUNPLAY, can buy it in WATSON or GUARDIAN...SPF from 50 to 130.....PA from + tp +++...effective in blocking sun burn...

i dont think banana boat suitable for daily use..

im just bought 3 bottles of sunplay sun block in guardian warehouse sales... cuz its so cheap... rm10 each... hope it helps~

hi,girl!
u know bb cream?
is very famous now,i have sale it
skin79,starwhite n shills

Actually SPF is used to calculate how long the sun block will last when u apply it. Not used to calculate how much UV light it can block. To look for how strong a sunblock can block..Look for the +++ triple positive mark for max effect.

I also vote for SunPlay

which type of sunblock is the best for both face n body?
and also for sensitive skin?

which sun block is suitable to go beach??

Gal, you can try Estee Lauder Whitening sunblock. I'm using that now. Before i used this, my face got uneven tone. After i use this, the tone of my face looks the same. and my frens said i'm getting fairer and fairer. This sunblock also act as makeup foundation. It actually can cover your light blemishes. And it's SPF 50. Now i had been using this products for 2 years plus, and i dont see any side effect. But this a little bit pricey, it cost RM170. Anyway,u can give it a try.

actually, sun block is bad for skin... a study shows that continuous use of sun block can cause skin cancer...

now now, before you go on causing a panic scare, can you at least provide a source for your said comment?

i think BB cream is good, can become make-up based, foundation, concealer, moisturizer, and even sun block! Cool..

well the sun play with a cat on it...good!i will 4star for it....block from tan..block from uv ray too....
so girls that is good to be used....any watson's is available.....

I use those biore / cheaper sunblock on normal days. When travel or under the sun, i use better brand eg :Avene sunblock

I can't understand the logic of this writer.

The first article, talks about high omega 6:3 ratios being a cause of cancer. What does blocking sunlight exposure have to do with that?

The second article doesn't say that sunblock causes cancer - it says that sunblock doesn't stop cancer, because it doesn't block out entire UV spectrum. Which isn't true anymore, as broad-spectrum sunblock that also blocks UV-A has been on the market for awhile.

It funny that medical professionals advised us to use sunblock to prevent skin cancer, and this article advise us against using sunscreen as it mgiht promote skin cancer.

Funny.

I dunno know that sunblock will cause skin cancer...i only know that if you dont use sunblock, the chances of you getting skin cancer is higher than those use who use sunblock...

Which BB cream brand is good? I see alot of them selling out there.

I'm using Biore UV Perfect Face Milk with SPF50...
So far so good...

SUnblock Heliocare with SPF 50.

Brand: SunSense , spf50 , for sensitive skin (blemish or acne) , non sticky. A skin specialist recomended to me, very good. So far i still canot find/buy it in any pharmacy except from the clinic itself.

have u guys heard of SunSense?
it was recommended by a skin specialist.
I wonder if he meant SunPlay =_=" that's d only one i could spot in stores.

instead of lotion, any of u know if there's gel-based sunblock?

no i dun think there's gel based sunblock o...i used many types of sunblock before also...mayb can try out skinfood coz its natural ingredients and not expensive...

Sunblock: tried many brands. Usually the higher SPF factor the dearer it is. I do not use any "whitening creams" because most of them are made in Philippines or India, etc. Some of their ingredients are carcinogenic.

The Europeans and Aust brands are ok for me so far.

I just want share my experience using NU skin products.

two products which i normal swap after each set finish are
1. Nu Skin 180°® UV Block Hydrator SPF 18
2. Nu Skin Tri-Phasic White® Day Milk Lotion SPF 15

Normally i use these products combines with its full set. It really blocks my dark spots come out and make my current dark spots looks not so obvious. My face looks young as well. Use them since last 3 years ago.

I'm currently using Nivea Sun High Protection Sun Lotion with SPF 30. Thumbs up, I'm really satisfied with it.

For the face, try Biore with SPF ones. It worked quite well.

Try tifafine sunblock! No need to reapply every 2 hours like other sunblock. and it's non greasy and light. And i love the color when apply to skin!! face brighten and smooth!!

Every sunblock u need to reapply after 1-2 hours to maximise protection...

i advice using mary kay sun protector spf20/pa+..ade enuf for 8 hour..summore recommended by skin cancer foundation in US..even skin cancer patient can use..summore..baby above 6 month oso can use..can imagine how save it is?if interested to kno more..can contact me...

hye
ya,
i think banana boat suitable if u wanna go to beach sometimes.

if wan for body use,i recommended mary kay SPF 30 suncreen which is for da body can use it on body..in malaysia so hot..da sun so big..so it is essential to use it everyday to prevent freckles or dark spot come out.while face can use sun protector spf20 which is specially for face

I am fair skin too. For me,SUNPLAY SPF130 is works for me. But banana boat cant works for me.

spf130 is a bit too high for daily use...can harm da skin lo dear....

I will only use the SUNPLAY SPF130 when i went to swimming.

i applied SUNPLAY SPF130 on my face when i was going for a outdoor game session...my face is SUNBURNT and FEELING RED AND PAIN..really not recommended if u sweat alot?.. SUNPLAY has make me DOWN..

Anthelios fluid sunscreen is good even for very sensitive skin.. but it's quite exp thou.

Sun block is a must product for protecting skin when going outside. I use sun block almost 1 year and I can say, it help to prevent pimple from coming out!!! even make your face whiter and reduce oils from your face. that is actually the trick how some people don't have pimple and fairy skin :-). Currently I'm using SunPlay. I'm looking for Fasio extra sun protector SPF 50 because that one is better for my skin. Sun block or sun screen is a must product in europe country to protect their skin from cancer. In Malaysia like KL also they need to use SUN BLOCK because KL is hot!!!!

if your under 30 years old, try artistry essentials

i'm using biore's perfect face milk (white colour bottle). but still prefer the blue for face and body one. i wonder is it ok to use on face for face n body?

Use tried and true Banana Boat. They've been in the business for decades, so they know better than new players in the market.

im using figuline, love it!

so u guys/girls would recommended banana boat?
i'm heading to tioman tonight n need to buy sunblock coz dont wanna get dark when i come back to KL
shud i get the highest SPF? waterproof?

I'm using Avene's Thermal Sring and it's really works for me. Avene's also can be bought at SASA.

Currently using a gel type sunblock which does not make ur skin oily
And doesn't clog ur pores,comes in SPF 50 , SPF 90.but u can only get it in clinics.

i went to swimming last week , normally i will bring the Banana Boat brand's sunblockto protect my skin~~
besides that...i will use skin spa to moisturizer my skin oso.. than the effect will more better...

Am using ZA Power block sunscreen now, nice texture and easy to blend.

My favourite is the La Roche Posay anthelios, too bad its not available in malaysia

Hey girls , what is the meaning of "AM and PM" in terms of skincare? I saw alot articles saying "apply AM n PM after Repair Serum etc.."

I'm using ZA, quite nice, not too oily

m using sunblock (a product by dermagenesis)...m really lovin it

AM = morning

PM = night

Shiseido Anessa Perfect UV SPF50. one of the best SS I have ever used.

I'm using this too Nice

i'm using Kiehl's sun block SPF50+++, it is very light texture and suitable for my skin - combination oily with breakouts.
