Rash guards in the Philippines are all the rage nowadays but they don't protect everything. Obviously, your body is covered, but your face is still exposed. Bioré UV specializes in facial sunscreens; therefore, I took some with me during our latest trip to Cuatro Islas to see how effective it is and I am very pleased to tell you that it worked even better than I expected!


I applied the Bioré UV Perfect Face Milk with SPF 50+ variant first because I love the fact that it actually leaves  a matte finish that's really, really good for oily skin and I wanted to look fresh on our way to the islands. It's an awesome makeup base, too, since I was able to use my favorite Naturactor and Octard concealers and I do believe it's the reason they lasted longer under the scorching summer sun. I just can't believe how light this sunblock is and it really feels more like a makeup primer! This also comes with other variants for different skin conditions.













Towards the end of our trip and after a sweltering good time in the salt water and under the sun, I reapplied this time using the Bioré UV Aqua Rich Essence with SPF50+ and PA++++ because my face was feeling warm and I wanted something cool on it. It almost felt like putting aloe vera on my skin! It doesn't get better than this variant because of the cooling effect it has on top of the amazing sun protection you're getting.



















And at the end of the day, I was ecstatic that I have zero sunburns on my face. It didn't hurt one bit and didn't even feel warm at all considering how white sand reflects so much light.

Sunday #Selfie, because I just had to! Absolutely no sunburns from all the island fun in the sun! My new facial sunscreens from @bioreph are the bombdiggity! Although I missed my ears (don't know how I did when they practically stick out!) and now they're so red! 😳 LOL! But other than that, everything's a-okay! Will post my blog review and first impressions later. Stay tuned! 😊 #bastaigatsikat #skin #skincare #instabeauty #beauty #beautybloggersph #biore #bioreph #summer #makeup #instamakeup #japanese #cosmetics #fotd #muotd #motd #nofilter
