MARCH 27 CASSIE'S THOUGHTS EDITOR'S PICK SKIN CARE SUN PROTECTION
....Or not, and just stay in the city, wearing those beautiful floral summer dresses! Either way, summer has always been a fun season that I look forward to!
Allow me to confess that I'm really, really stubborn. I dislike sunblock, because it can sometimes be icky. I skip sunscreen sometimes and just apply liquid foundation loaded with SPF on my face already. It's not supposed to be, but I just wanted to do that. I also sometimes feel my arms so warm from the sun, and would thoughtfully feel that I should slather sunblock on my body during sunny days ( and not just the beach ), but I don't, because I wouldn't want to feel icky.
But then, don't get me wrong! I am well-informed about the effects of the harmful rays of the sun - that it burns our skin, and it causes our skin to prune up and age. I dislike the idea of aging, and would want to be as young as I can be, but then, sometimes, I can be too lazy, or too comfortable in my own state. I wonder if there's a perfect sunscreen product there somewhere?
Well, Belo SunExpert tries. I've picked up their SunExpert Transparent Mist SPF50 - oh wait, SPF50? For a mist? No way. A mist with SPF50? Oh glee! Aside from that, the benefits offered are really, really great :
* non-sticky * water resistant * fragrance-free * paraben-free * lightweight and effective immediately * hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested.Providing broad spectrum protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays, Belo SunExpert has Cell Protect ® technology the natural cell shield that strengthens the skin’s defense system and preserves moisture content. The said active ingredient also maintains healthy, white skin while preventing accelerated premature skin aging or even skin cancer. Belo SunExpert works effectively even for the most sensitive skin or the ones easily susceptible to sun damage. It boasts a non-greasy feeling with no harsh chemicals that might do more harm than good to the skin.
Oh, too much! I love it! Should this be real, I would be a really, really happy gal! So of course, I put this to the roadtest during my daily grind!
Well, I started spraying it on my arms. Cool! I meant, really, it felt cool instantly! There is an initial, refreshing feeling at first spritz, and I loved it already. I just wondered if that was it. It felt very lightweight, almost nothing at all. It felt good feeling nothing. Hahaha!
I was wondering where the hydrating feeling came in. Oh. When it dried on my skin, I tried to smoothen my skin and touch it - and felt oil. This is a sunblock product that must be in alcohol form, that sets into an oil finish. The oil felt really light on the skin, and I can tell that it felt good on my skin, as I felt somewhat secure that it won't dry my skin, and help hydrate my skin too!
As the day went by, I felt wonderful, even if it was a really, really warm day. There's this sweet, comforting feeling added to my senses as I know that my body, not only my face, would be well-protected from sun and aging, because of this product. Belo SunExpert Transparent Mist SPF50 sure will make me more diligent in my skin-preservation efforts this time.
But then, I am dreaming of bringing this product to my wonderful getaway place.
