Summer time is definitely redundant here in the Philippines it being too hot all the time. That is why I never leave the house without putting on sunscreen. Since learning the bad effects of the sun on my skin and how it can suffer from all sorts of skin diseases, it has been my mission to help all ladies out there to find the perfect sunscreen for them.

You only have to visit Watsons to know that there are so many choices now on different sun protection. So there is definitely no excuse for you to skip this very important regimen.
So to know exactly what kind of sunscreen you need, you only have to look into your lifestyle.



Are you active always out in the sun and engaged in sports that involve being outdoors?
