[Skincare] Everything Sunscreen

Came across this. 90 SPF!
http://heliocare.com.sg/product/heliocare-gel-ultra-spf-90/

What do you guys think?

somewhat of an overkill

Higher SPF usually mean lousier texture
To be honest I am happy with the anessa now and I won't be switching to it unless there's good reason to

There’s even oral UV protection too
http://heliocare.com.sg/product/heliocare-oral-ultra/

The oral ones I've heard of it way back
I think if I am a dragon boater I'll definitely take it
But for the typical officer workers and typical Singaporean

We don't need it.

It's good, but it's excessive.

Take note though. These supplements lessen the impact of sunburns and UV exposure
they are NOT to replace using sunscreen in any way whatsoever

these supplements work via antioxidant protection (passive protection)
sunscreen works via blocking the sun rays from hitting your skin (active protection)

for complete sun protection, you can use both passive+active
But to be honest and I reiterate it, we do not need it


Supplementation (orally taking vitamins and pills) is very complex though so I won't go into that area

But you can achieve Passive protection topically as well
by applying antioxidants such as vitamin C + ferulic acid on your face before the sunscreen

Yeah. I just didn’t know a 90 SPF existed. Lol
The Anessa feels like a foundation. It’s like powdery after awhile.. I think it even covers my pores well

 

[harky]

Yes, use micellar cleansing water.

Can even get 100+ SPF... but that one is right - the texture can be too thick for such high SPF.

Cool, will take note of it!

What u guys think of Chanel CC cream?

 

[Renzokukenz]

wow first time i see hwz got such hyper-educated ppl on skincare...haha

renzo ur skin must be really good ah since u know so much abt what products to use etc

unfortunately, I cannot commit to my skincare routine due to military obligations

and no. I started reading into skincare because I want to correct my enlarged pores amongst other skin concerns

but my skin has improved since then

 

[Renzokukenz]

I use neogen real cica micellar water

There are lots of drugstore brands like loreal, simple, bioderma

$20 for Bioderma (Pink) from Venus is your best bet
it is touted as the best micellar water out there and it is them who singlehandedly started the micellar water craze

a more budget option would be Garnier's at $19.90 for 700ml I think
after some research, these are the only 2 micellar water that you can depend on

part of the reason SkinCeuticals got famous was because of their Vitamin C serum. This brand though is quite expensive but it is because of SkinCeuticals that jumpstarted my interest into reading up on specific ingredients

so good recommendation there on SkinCeuticals
