Aloha! (✿◠‿◠)

The weather has been rather cold and gloomy lately, but sun protection is still very important during the day! We often neglect sun protection when we are indoors and also when it’s cloudy thinking there’s probably not much UV. However, did you know that long term exposure to the sun’s UV rays especially UVA can be damaging to our skin, causing our skin to age prematurely? UVA rays can cause damage the elastin fibres & collagen of our skin causing it to sag and droop. Furthermore, the skin will experience wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation. Scary! (ºДº)

One thing I find useful is that the Skin Aqua UV Watery Gel can be used for both body and face. In fact, you can even use it as a makeup base!

Light, watery texture

The Skin Aqua UV Watery Gel comes in a plastic bottle with a screw cap and nozzle-type dispenser, same as most other Skin Aqua products. You'll have to shake the bottle before dispensing the sunscreen onto your hand/skin. It has a light, watery texture that is easily absorbed into the skin without leaving any greasy or oily texture. There is also a slight floral scent which I find very nice and soothing, which dissipates quickly.




The Skin Aqua UV Watery Essence SPF50+PA++++ (50g) retails at RM 37.90 and is available at all leading pharmacies and major supermarket outlets.
