About a week ago, I had a belated summer trip with the squad. It's actually quite unplanned and impulsive. Perhaps, we all just needed a quick breatherz so one fine Sunday, we booked tickets to Boracay and decided to spend two nights in the island.
Of course, I made sure to pack my sun care goodies from Celeteque even if I wasn't expecting (but hoping for) a good weather. July is usually the start of rainy season but when we got there, it was a bright, sunny day. 🌞
I got these back in March but I didn't get to go beachin' that time. While waiting for a getaway, I tried to include the Matte Moisturizer in my daytime skincare routine. I thought it's a perfect kind of a two-in-one product because it's mattifying and it doubles as a sunscreen.
However, I didn't like the thick formula. It's difficult to spread out and it produces a very noticeable white cast.
Its scent is nice though because it's not the usual sunblock fragrance. It's slightly lotion-ish.
I can't confirm if it could really control oil, because when I put it on my face the first time, it made me look like a geisha, so I removed it. 😊
I guess I just really prefer a very lightweight daytime moisturizer and sunscreen. I wouldn't mind using two separate products as long as they are comfortable to wear.
So as I was saying, I brought my sun care duo to the beach. For the face, I still used my Innisfree sunscreen but for the body, I applied this Sun Defense Spray with SPF 50 (449 php).
I gotta say, using a sunscreen spray like this is so convenient. It's also light and can fit perfectly in your beach bag.
It has a strong perfume-ish scent, which I'd prefer over sunblock fragrance. It doesn't feel drying nor greasy when applied and what I like the most is the part when it gives a cooling sensation.
The formula is water-resistant but I wouldn't mind re-applying after taking a dip. It also contains Vitamin E and sunflower oil that hydrate the skin.
I didn't get sunburn but I was extra prepared so I also brought this After-sun Gel (290 php).
It contains aloe vera and wheat extract to soothe and moisturize reddened or intensely dry skin. It smells good too!
You can re-apply as needed especially if you have sunburnt skin.
As for the sunscreen spray, I also spritz some on when I'm wearing shorts or skirt on a hot, sunny day. You see, sun protection isn't only for beach trips or outdoor activities. Make sure to always shield your skin from the harmful rays of Mr. Sun. 😊
