Summer Essentials + Biore UV Mild Milk for Kids

     Summer is just around the corner and the kids are so excited to wake up late, eat whatever they want, and play any time of the day. It is during this season that kids are so excited to go outside and play under the sun without worrying too much. 

     Expect dirt, sweat, and funky odor after playtime but fret not because that's part of growing up. If there's one thing to worry about summer, it's the skin-damaging effects of the sun. If adults need to apply sunscreen when they go outside, the kids are also highly advised to wear sunscreen before and during playtime. Their skin is so sensitive and prone to sun damage that's why a trusted and highly effective sunscreen brand is a must. Sharing some of my son's summer essentials and the sunscreen brand that we highly recommend after the jump.

Product Review: Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway SPF50+ PA++++

     Ever since I became more serious in taking care of my skin, I see to it that I apply an ample amount of sunscreen on my face after the wash, tone and moisturize routine. I use sunscreen every day even when I'm indoors because hello, UVA! The fluorescent light at home and blue light coming from a laptop, mobile phone, and other gadgets emit a low level of radiation hence using sun protection products all the time is a must.

     I've tried a few brands of sunscreen before and only two of them became a mainstay in my skincare stash. Looks like a new baby from Althea Korea will join the army. Enter Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway SPF50+ PA++++, the newest sunscreen product from Althea that gives a soft, velvety, and petal-like skin. More information about the product below.

Product Review: Biore UV Perfect Spray SPF 50+ PA++++

     Hello dearies! I'm back with another review of my favorite sunscreen brand- Biore UV. If you're a long time reader of this blog, prolly you know that my HG (holy grail) face sunscreen is the Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk and months ago I also featured their body serum which I'm loving as of the moment. 

     Looks like I'm turning into a Biore UV skin care addict because their sun care products are promising and after years of using it, I can say that I'm truly satisfied with the protection that I get from head to toe. Yep, that's right, their UV protection products can be used all over the body and that's what the Biore UV Perfect Spray SPF 50+ PA++++ can do instantly. Full review details below :)

Feature: Olay Sun-Proof Ageless Summer Packs

     Did you know that even indoors you need to slather your favorite sunblock in order to protect you from UV rays? Yes, I know staying indoors is the easiest way to veer away from the scorching summer heat outside.

     Some of you may choose to stay at home or inside the office because of the airconditioned comfort but contrary to popular thinking, even the indoors do not provide enough protection from the damaging rays of the sun. In fact, studies show that staying by a window indoors all day long without sunscreen is equivalent to the sun damage experienced from taking a 15-minute walk out during lunchtime. Yikes!

Feature: Biore UV Body Care Serum Anti Pollution

     Can you feel that it's so hot these past few days? Summer is really here! But before you enjoy the warmth of the summer sun please be reminded that UV rays are damaging. Check your summer skincare essentials first before basking under the sun.

     Sunscreens are no longer just for those lazy days on the beach. Skin experts have established that a UV skin protector should be part of every Filipina’s daily skin regimen to protect the skin against the harmful rays of the sun. Aside from these, aging and pollution are the skin concerns that should be addressed daily. DON'T SKIP SUNBLOCK AND SUNSCREEN!!! Skipping increases the susceptibility to premature aging and skin cancer. But wait, there's a preventive measure, keep reading below :)

Feature: Pure Marula Oil by John Paul Selects

     I've tried different beauty oils in the past. They're not the common 'oil' that we use during our childhood days. I call them beauty oils because of the beautifying benefits they give. I presume you've heard a type or two. Beauty oils come in many forms- it can be pure liquid, solid (inside a capsule), mixed with solid skin care products like soap and scrub or with another liquid products like shampoos, conditioners, and lotions.

     Beauty oils have different functions and the common denominator- they are widely use in the skin care department. Have you tried beauty oils before? I use beauty oil/s to moisturize dry skin, to treat and tame frizzy hair, or to make my skin glowing. Now, there's another use that I've recently discovered- it can also be used as sunscreen! Wanna know what beauty oil is this? Presenting... Pure Marula Oil! Know more about Marula Oil by John Paul Selects below and discover the benefits that you'll surely like :)

Unlike other sunscreen products that may contain toxic substances that are harmful for your skin, Pure Marula Oil is completely free of preservatives, synthetics and parabens. It is made from 99% marula oil that provides superior and longer lasting hydration for your skin and 1% blend of natural essential oils that give a light and natural scent.

     Will I be saying good bye to my favorites- Argan and Macadamia Oils? After reading the benefits, I can say that I'm impressed not only in the sun protection department but also in minimizing fine lines. Oh, it's also an anti-aging oil, so I'll say hooray for now! 

Pure Marula Oil benefits:

• This oil is ideal for skin hydration and restoration.
• Pure Marula Oil has 60% more antioxidants than Argan Oil and is more powerful in fighting free radicals that cause pre-mature skin aging. 
• Its high content of fatty acids like Omega 6 & 9 also makes for a superior anti-aging treatment that plump up skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines.

• Ideal for all skin types, works well even if you have very oily skin.
