If before, you can still go out of the sun without bothering to put your sunblock on, this time it's different. The sun's rays is so intense that you can literally feel it burning your skin in just a matter of seconds.
Sunblock is summer must-have, no doubt about it!
But then, what if you are on-the-go & doesn't have the time to wait for 20-30 minutes for your sunblock to fully protect you? Now, you don't need to worry about that anymore. Nivea already offers immediate sun protection so you can be on-the-go asap!
This is their facial sunblock.
I have tried this & i'm glad that i didn't experience any break outs though i don't use this regularly because i prefer to use the sunblock gel that i have been using as my main sunblock ever since but if im in a hurry, this is what i'm using.
Body sunblock...
Offers SPF 50 PA++ which is definitely needed this summer.
It's also said to be water-resistant so it's good if you are planning to go swimming.
weeee!!!!!
They also have the After Sun Spray...
It gives a soothing relief after being exposed to the hot sun... doesn't have a cooling sensation though..hehe. Y'all know how addicted i am to cooling sensation.hehehe
I went to Watsons yesterday to take a look at the price..but stupid me, forgot to write it down on my notes. Anyway, the price range of these would be somewhere in Php 250-450, depending on the quantity/bottle.
I think it's not expensive considering that you will be getting a high SPF plus it is readily absorbed by the skin to give immediate protection. It's definitely worth your money!
I might do a review on this sometime but for now i like it. No other sunblock in the market (that i know of) offers immediate sun protection so this is definitely a keeper!
Do check this out especially now that the heat is unbearable!
Hope you all have a great,hunnies!
Jaa ne~!

ps: product sent as a part of their press release. I did not receive any monetary consideration for this post. Opinions shared is personal view & is no way influenced by the company.
First of all, im sorry if im not able to update my blog every now & then. I also wasn't able to comment that much for i have a lot on my plate for the past couple of weeks... I hope that i'll be able to update my blog regularly. The pictures that i have been saving for my posts have been piling up & is taking up a big save in my HD.
When i dropped by Etude House & i saw the word "cooling" i was sold! As what i said i before i like cooling products plus the fact that this is a sunblock so i automatically added it in my shopping basket. I actually like it! It's like a cool body mist so reapplying is actually a welcome relief when i'm out in the sun!
I know that it's a must to use sunblock. It's just that i sweat a lot & aside from the fact that reapplying it every now & then is a pain in the neck for sweating washes the sunblock off of the skin, it feels like my skin is being suffocated every time i slab lotions on it. So i just go out without sunblock at all...*sigh*
But then now i make sure that i apply sunscreen as much as possible so looking for a sunscreen is a really hard thing for me to do. I'm actually quite happy that i came across with this video which shows how to actually choose the correct sunscreen. I recommend that you watch it too.
Going back to the product, this is the description at the back...
It is in an aerosol can which is better compare to the conventional lotion which could be pretty annoying. This is a mess-free sunblock that you can just spray especially if you are on the go. Being in an aerosol, there's no danger of the product spilling when you are travelling so it is very convenient. The cap also seals tight so i would highly recommend it when you are looking for a mess-free type of sunblock.
It got SPF 30 which i think is already pretty high. I know that there are a lot of sunblocks out there in the market that got higher SPFs though. I suggest you watch this video first before commenting about those high SPF products.
I'm not saying that buying sunblocks with a high SPF is a rip-off but in my case, my standard sunblock (whenever i buy one to go swimming) is at least 25. So i consider SPF 30 already pretty high. In this case, i am quite satisfied with it already. My 'swimming sunblock' is the Blue Sun Guard SPF 50, which is also from Etude House, so SPF 30 is ok for me for everyday use.
I use a different sunblock for my face so this one is just for my body. This is a staple for me so i make sure that i have it with me every time i go out.
This has a feel-good factor because it's cool when you applied it to your skin. Not cool type that lingers on the skin, mind you, but it's better compare to ordinary sunblocks. It's a sunblock mist!
While i may be singing it's praises it doesn't mean it does not have any downside because it have a couple: First is that since this is in aerosol, you might not be able to get to use ALL of the product since every time you press the top, there would be excess product that would be wasted. Second, every time i use this i find the scent overwhelming if apply this in a closed room. The scent lingers for a while but not on the skin.... it disappears after a while. It's just that the "excess product" on the air which makes me nauseous every time i smell it. So if you going to use this, better make sure you are in an open area.
Aside from those two, i don't have any complains at all. In fact, those two things that i enumerated doesn't bother me for this is the only sunblock that i reach out every now & then even though i have a whole arsenal of unused sunblock sitting on my dresser.
As for the price, it's Php 498 so i'll leave the price to you.
Let's do a summary... PROS:
SPF30 PA+++
convenient mess-free packaging
cap is tight so there's no worry of loosing it
it's cool when applied to the skin
locally available
CONS:
you will not be able to maximize product usage
bottle is bulky
should be used only in open area
Will i buy it again?
Yes.
For now this is a staple product for me i will be buying it again. As what the video said, you have to choose a sunblock that makes you feel good whenever you apply it & this one does! The cooling sensation it provides is a definite feel-good factor so i re-apply whenever i can.
Have you tried this?
Give it a try.
What is your favorite sunblock?
