Whether we admit it or not, we know that we Pinoys look forward to summer. Our warm and colorful summer season is known the world over and thousands of foreign tourists flock to the Philippines from March to May just to enjoy the sun, sand and beach.
While basking in the sun can do wonders for one’s mood, it is important to keep skin protected from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Over exposure to the sun can cause premature aging, wrinkling, sun spots, uneven skin tone and parched skin. When we go out without sun protection, we put ourselves at risk of skin cancer. Belo SunExpert’s line of sunscreens and their newly-launched UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) umbrella make sure that you’re sun-protected from head to toe.
The light, non-sticky Face Cover (SPF40) effectively protects your face from the harsh sun and can be worn under your regular make-up. I’ve been using the Face Cover for more than a year and it works perfectly well with my mineral foundation. For the rest of the body, you can get everything covered with the Lotion (SPF60), the Transparent Mist (SPF50) and the Ultragentle Sheer Spray (SPF50).
The SunExpert lotion goes on the skin smoothly, with no grainy or powdery feel. The Transparent Mist goes on sheer, with a very pleasant smell that’s reminiscent of a beach trip (even if I’m just in the office). The Ultragentle Sheer Spray is the latest addition to the SunExpert family and is specially formulated to protect while being gentle enough to kids’ sensitive skin. Its Cell Protect formula strengthens the skin’s defense system and actively prevents accelerated premature skin aging.
Belo SunExpert Ultragentle Sheer Spray SPF50 is hypo-allergenic, dermatologist-tested and paraben-free. It is also non-sticky, quick drying and works immediately upon application.
