Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Advertorial

I've never been a fan of sunscreens, and I believe I'm not alone on this. Sunscreens often take on a thick, white and sticky consistency, and have the tendency to turn oily and grimy on skin after exposure to heat and perspiration.

I did try using sunscreen once or twice but always ended up with a caked up result. Trust me - bb cream and powder over sunscreen does NOT create a good look.




So, I was pleasantly surprised when Biore sent me their new UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence sunblock. The name itself suggests a light and refreshing formula, and we all know how important that is especially due to the hot and humid local climate.



True to its name, the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence is incredibly lightweight and refreshing, and pleasantly odor-less! Because of its smooth and watery consistency, a small dollop goes a long way. It actually seems too good to be true - how can something so light actually protect my skin against the sun's harmful rays?




So I did a little research, and found out that the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence is formulated with Biore's breakthrough Aqua Rich technology that has water-based Aqua Micro Capsules, and these contain UV blocking ingredients. These capsules release the UV block ingredients and turns the formula's texture into a water-smooth consistency for more effective absorption into skin.

The Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence protects against both UVA and UVB rays, which means your skin will be well protected from aging, wrinkling and burns caused by the sun. It also carries a Sun Protection Factor (commonly known as SPF) of 50, which will protect your skin for approximately.. 9 - 12 hours, depending on your skin tone.

That's more than enough, considering how there's no way any human being in the right mind would be exposed to the sun for more than 9 hours.




Application was smooth and fast, and makeup glided on effortlessly with no caking or splotches. Definitely something I can see myself using on a daily basis!



The part circled in white is where I applied the sunscreen and as you can see, there is absolutely no difference between that portion and the rest of my skin. My skin remained smooth and matte with zero white residue.



Also, I'm a real cheapskate when it comes to sunblock and sometimes, skin care items too. :x Which is bad, I know. But I'm a sucker for pretty things, and I usually would rather splurge on expensive makeup instead. And that's where the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence comes in!

With a extremely affordable price tag of $18.90, you know your sunscreen investment won't break the bank.
