I’ve had a very busy summer travelling here
and there, especially to tropical, beachy destinations. To save my skin from
the piercing sun, I’ve used these products religiously and I’m happy to say
that I came back with better, healthier-looking skin. So this is what saved my
skin:
ANESSA Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk
A holy grail item right here! I cannot
recommend this sunscreen enough, I’ve recommended this to my girlfriends with
passion (cut to me shouting at the drug store with excitement). This sunscreen
is great for beach and outdoor holidays. It's very water resistant (I could still
feel it after swimming) yet feels so light on the skin. Contrary to common
belief, it doesn't have that powdery feel (most water proof
sunscreens do) when applied, it felt like applying a light gel and very quickly
absorbs into the skin. They called this product ‘skincare milk’ because they
claim that it contains 50% skincare ingredients to calm, moisturise and repair the skin. Personally, I didn’t see any visible different before and after using the
sunscreen, but it does feel moisturising when applied and I never felt gross
at the end of the day. Another great feature is their ‘Aqua Booster’
technology, claiming that when in contact with sweat and water, the product
provides stronger protection (kinda gross if you think about it, but if it
enhances the strength, it’s fine by me). Again, I wasn’t able to test this out
with controls but despite being under the 35 degree sun at noon on the beach, I
didn't get sunburnt or horribly tanned.

La Roche Posay Serozinc Spray
I have already used La Roche Posay products
for years now, particularly their line targeted for acne-prone skin. This was a
wonderful discovery. Like most thermal water sprays, it soothes and calms the
skin. It feels great to mist over your face after a full day under the sun.
Also, it contains an active ingredient: Zinc sulfate, which helps with skin
repair and renewal and also modulates inflammation. This product really does calm my active
acne. After using this as a toner, my skin feels less inflamed, the number
of blackheads and pumps also decrease after a week of consistent use.
You'll be able to buy it here.
