Sunscreen

Drop everything! I’ve just found my current favourite affordable sunscreen in the Kanebo Allie Extra UV Perfect SPF50+ PA++++ sunscreen!

August 27, 2018 Paris B 39 Comments

It was hard not to go crazy buying up all the skincare in sight while I was in Japan earlier this year. Very hard. It helped that there was a language barrier – it prevented me from quite literally falling for every product out there! Yet, I managed to hoard a number of items, predominantly sunscreen, and one that caught your eye was the Kanebo Allie Extra Perfect UV Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ I showed in some of my pictures back then.

Quite a few of you asked me about it, but I wasn’t comfortable sharing, as I’d quite literally opened it up to use while in Japan, and it was too new to actually form an opinion on. I wanted to come home where the heat and humidity is high, to see how I’d like it. Then, I wanted to really put it through its paces, so I took it to the beach, where I spent an ungodly amount of time in the sun and by the pool.

I wanted to be very sure about how I felt about this one. This was because I’d already fallen in love with it while in Japan, and I really really wanted to know if it was as good for me as its first impression was.

Happily, or unhappily, I think this is the perfect successor for me, to my long-time favourite, the Shiseido Perfect UV sunscreen. The latter has been reformulated this year where the name now states “Multi-Defense” and before you ask, no I have not yet tried it. I know I should, but I am working through other sunscreens I own (I need to before they go off – 2 years shelf life for best efficacy!) and to be honest, I’ve read too many unhappy comments about this new formula – enough to put me off trying.

Well, let’s just say that I’m not actively looking to try the Shiseido one either, because this Kanebo Allie Extra UV Perfect sunscreen has me very happy with it. And yet sad.

Despite the name you can use the Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day UV Sunscreen everyday not just on Sunday

August 8, 2018 Paris B 10 Comments

Firstly, apologies for the silence across the board. I’m just going through stuff right now that I would probably talk about some day, but today isn’t the day. Instead, I’m going to slip into the familiar, like a pair of soft, old, PJs and muse about a subject dear to my heart – sunscreen. And the sunscreen of choice is Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day UV Sunscreen.

To be honest, I’d never have thought to try this one, simply because I’m a bit of a stickler when it comes to sunscreen. I like using what works, because what doesn’t work can screw things up something awful for me.

This Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day UV Sunscreen was a very generous gift from a reader who I met some time last year. For a time, I had a good time scheduling little lunch and coffee meet-ups with quite many of you, some of whom I’ve continued being friends with since. You never know how it turns out till you try, I say 🙂

But this reader shared with me this Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day UV Sunscreen because it was one she enjoyed using and she wanted me to try it for myself. I eventually did a few months ago!

I wear sunscreen daily but still get dark spots! Why?

June 13, 2018 Paris B 31 Comments

I am a very big proponent of wearing sunscreen (SPF50 at minimum, don’t try anything less) everyday, rain or shine, indoors or outdoors. I always pick sunscreen as my must-have skincare product because you cannot have too much sunscreen, and it has been proven to slow down skin aging caused by UV rays. By now, I think most people are aware of the benefits of wearing sunscreen (whether they choose to is another matter).

wear sunscreen but still getting dark spots

Yet, for those who use sunscreen as a defence against dark spots (not as a Defence against the Dark Arts – there’s a difference 😛 ) you might wonder why you still get dark spots or pigmentation spots despite all your efforts. I used to wonder the same, because dark spots and pigmentation spots are my nemesis.

Then I learnt the sad truth – Even regular use of sunscreen may not stop you from getting dark spots. Bummer! 🙁

Let’s see if the Murad City Skin Age Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ will dethrone my current sunscreen favourites

February 2, 2018 Paris B 9 Comments

Regulars amongst you know just how fussy I am about sunscreen. I use sunscreen. Liberally, compared to most, and I use it daily. Rain or shine, indoors or outdoors. SPF50 PA++++, no compromise.

What this means is that if a sunscreen that comes before me is anything less than that, I don’t even give it a look in. That’s just how fussy I am.

Let me also say that my preference lies with the Japanese sunscreen, because their formulation is second to none – lightweight, comfortable and effective.

Some time last year however, I was introduced to the Murad City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum Mineral Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ 

Murad, not being a Japanese brand therefore, had me scratching my chin. Did I want to try it? Most Western brand formula had put me off thus far. But the label “mineral sunscreen” drew me in like a fish at the end of a hook.

I wanted to know how this fared, and if it might find its place among my very carefully selected Holy Grail sunscreen selection.

Famous last words 😅 Can’t believe how tiny he was last CNY. I could make him do whatever I wanted. Now, he’s got a mind of his own and it’s “no treats, no work!” 🤪
It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come. 
Wishing all of you a Happy, healthy Chinese New Year filled with Ox-picious tidings 🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai and enjoy the festive break! ❤️

I never appreciated hair mists but the Chanel No. 5 Hair Mist is a nice, light way to enjoy the perfume. Who says you can only spray on your hair? 😬
