SUNPLAY skinaqua UV mild milk

Do you know that if you don`t use sunblock daily,no matter how expensive your whitening and anti aging products are,they cannot work at all?
Last night you did an intensive whitening treatment,after the treatment your skin becomes fairer,but the next day,once you expose to sun without any sun protection,the melanocyte will be activated automatically to secret melanin(black pigment) for skin protection purpose.


The product claims:




Before I explain about the ingredient list,it is better for you all to understand the usual ingredients used to make sunblock in the market:

  1. physical sunblock(UVA+UVB): zinc oxide ,titanium dioxide
  2. UVA chemical sunblock:Avobenzone,Oxybenzone
  3. UVB chemical sunblock:octyl methoxycinnamate,oxybenzone,para-aminobenzoic acid
I only choose the most common one in the market,there are much more chemical sunblock ingredients in the market.

For sensitive skin we will choose physical sunblock(reflect the light) this is due to chemical sunblock`s mechanism is to absorb the excessive UV light and most of the chemical sunblock ingredients have high risk in triggering allergic reaction.

Since this product is designed for sensitive skin,supposely it does contain ZnO and TiO2 ,but it is not,so I`m still doubting about the anti-sensitive ability.The preservative( methylparaben,phenoxyethanol) is considered high concentration also,usually sensitive skin product`s preservative should be listed as the last ingredient.However,the other ingredients are all ok,won`t clog pore.



What is the best thing about this product is that this product has an excellent texture-no smell,easy to spread out,soothing effect,non greasy,without any white residue(physical sunblock` weakness is that it will make your face vampire pale)
This sunblock is only SPF25,PA++,therefore it is only suitable for you in case you are going to spend your whole day indoor,you have to consider the sun protection ability.I really like this sunblock especially during study week that you will use throughout a week to study crazyly.

For oily and combination skin ,we will choose lotion or milk like sunblock.However for dry skin type it is better to use cream like sunblock ,if you are normal skin type(I hate you) just choose whatever that you like.

The way to use this sunblock is just spread it all over your face and neck at the end of your day time skincare,remember to reapply if you sweat.Normal cleanser is enough to clean this away,no pre clean step(cleansing oil,milk) is required.

Pros: cheap,long lasting,non greasy,easy to clean
Cons: low sun protection for out door activity,unknown anti-sensitive ability

Personally I highly recommend this sunblock,there is another choice with whitening effect,with the same price and texture

Available in all pharmacies ,watson and guradian,80ml,retailed price RM 30,but now there is a sale in guardian,only RM23
