Happy Monday! Are you lazy? Sleepy? Wanting to go back to bed? *high five* I'm sure I feel the same! Since I came back from Shanghai, I've been very sick but it's all worth it! It was fun walking around the city and I'm proud to announce, I did not get lost! I made sure to do my research and ask my brother on how to go to a certain place and took down notes as I take a peek at my post-it notes every now and then as I get pushed inside the train! *laughs*
All worth it!
Speaking of walking around the city. The weather in Shanghai was as crazy as Manila! It's hot, humid and it rains mid-day! Though I brought an umbrella with me, I'm not used to using it to protect myself from the sun! (Bad Nikki!) But hey, I made sure to apply sunblock approximately 30 minutes before I leave the hotel room!

Since I knew it's going to be hot and humid in Shanghai, I brought with me the SunPlay SPF 26 PA++ Watery Cool Clear & Smooth.

- Multi-tasking product, can be used on both face and body.
- Milky formula makes it easy to spread all over face and body.
- Gets absorbed into the skin in no time!
- Doesn't leave white casts.
- Does not feel heavy on skin even if I perspired a lot.
- I did not get dark after walking approximately more than an hour under direct sunlight.
- I can easily use up this product because of its tiny size.
- It says to have "Menthol" for cooling effect but I never felt it? (could it be just me?)
- A bit pricey for 35g product.
I had a friend who texted me telling me how she hated the feeling of sunscreen but she needed the protection, I immediately recommended this to her because I've tested this under the most extreme weather (direct sunlight, heat plus humidity) and this fairs really well! I did not have a bit of the sticky-feel that I sometimes get in other sunblock! Once I got back, I immediately asked Mr. AMW if I got dark, he told me: "Nope!" So SPF65 protection, CHECK!
Tips
- Apply at least 15 minutes before you go out of the sun.
- Do not follow my crazy steps, try to use a hat, umbrella and steer clear from direct sunlight even if you have sunblock protection!
- If you have very sensitive skin, do the patch test before you apply this all over your body.
- Do the same on face application, apply a bit on one area and see if your skin reacts!
- Shake well before use, you can hear the sound of the "metal ball" inside.
- Always clean the tip after every use (just my OC thing).
- Re-apply if you've been sweating a lot or if you were out of the sun for too long.
- Planning to head on to the beach and you needed much more protection? Choose their other variant that has higher SPF. Sunplay Super Block SPF130 PA+++

A good sunblock lotion that goes up to my list!
Have you tried SunPlay? Do you like it?
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
awesome, hope i don't break out when i use the 130 spf LOL
ReplyDeleteawww..
ReplyDeleteno cooling sensation,huh?
looking for a sunblock that has cooling sensation is so hard talaga!
it's good that this doesn't leave white cast!
^_^
i don't believe in products that contains more than 50 in spf but i'm, sure that this is handy pag talagang babaran sa beach.
I went to the beach and stuff on a hot sunny day in indonesia and mentholatum sunplay spf130 never failed me! it's the best sunscreen for those occasions, i didnt get a tan at all
ReplyDeleteawww the penguins are cute! i have been a sunplay user for years and i really love the 130. regardless of how hot/mild the sun is...i will still use the 130 when i know i have to be under the sun a lot for the 'just-in-case' :D
ReplyDeletei haven't tried this one. thanks for the review, this is very handy during travel...
ReplyDelete@Marge Oh yeah, I strongly remember your post on SPF allergies! Gosh, wawa ka naman
