TIP: These 3 parts of your body need daily sunscreen application too!

Something funny-tragic happened to me a few weeks ago.

I had fallen asleep on the couch in the middle of the day, with the curtains opened a crack. The sun was streaming in, it was an abysmally hot and sultry day, and I was tired.

I woke up an hour later, feeling refreshed.

But when I looked in the mirror, I got a shock of my life! My neck and chest were an angry red!

HOW?! Who gets sunburnt while lying in the middle of their living room, having a nap? Me, that’s who 😛

So I thought I’d share with you some tips on where else, aside from your face, needs daily sunscreen application – you may or may not be already doing it! 😛

Allie Sunscreen is in Malaysia! Here’s my other favourite – the Allie Extra UV Gel SPF50+ PA++++ sunscreen

I am often asked about the sunscreen I use. I am a big proponent of sunscreen as regulars are aware, and I have my staunch favourites. Basically, I don’t mess with the tried and true.

Ever since I fell out of love with the sunscreen I’d helped Shiseido sell (LOL!) I’ve been on the hunt for an alternative. I thought I’d found one in Anessa, but it turned out that I wasn’t as enamoured with it as I was with its more expensive counterpart.

But last year, I had my Hallelujah! moment! I found the sunscreen that I could use daily, that was comfortable and protected my skin, and that didn’t burn a hole in my wallet!

The snag was, it wasn’t available in Malaysia. Until now! 😀

Would I switch to the REN Clean Screen Mineral SPF30 sunscreen?

I am, without doubt, a big fan of REN Skincare. Their products work well for me, and I like their aesthetic, formulation and packaging. Naturally therefore, when I first heard, months ago, that a sunscreen was being released, I was quite excited.

We know how I feel about sunscreen right? Yep, all day, everyday, no exceptions!

When the REN Clean Screen Mineral SPF 30 sunscreen dropped, I was conflicted. On the one hand, I was excited to see new mineral sunscreen in the market.

On the other hand, I found myself thinking “SPF30? Only 30??”

Left pondering if the Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Tinted Sunscreen should be worn as sunscreen or foundation

A few years ago, I was offered the opportunity to try the Suntegrity sunscreen, which is a mineral sunscreen with broadspectrum UV protection. Being a sunscreen fiend, you’d have expected me to jump at the chance. But I didn’t because it came with a max of SPF30.

I know opinions differ as to how high or how effective anything beyond SPF30 is, but I personally swear by and only use sunscreen with SPF50 and up.

But recently, I was offered a chance to try the Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Moisturizing Face Sunscreen and I said sure, let’s have a go.

It is still a SPF30 sunscreen, so what’s the difference?

The difference is that this was tinted and I could therefore treat it much like makeup. I don’t quite care how much SPF is in my makeup, but naturally, if it was high enough, and protects my skin enough, I’d be happy about it.

Turns out, many people really like this Suntegrity Impeccable Skin tinted sunscreen. Did I? 🙂
