Prevents you from burning your skin and your wallet!

By far one of the most important steps in your daytime skin care routine is to put on some sunscreen before you head out and brace the unforgiving Malaysian heat
The most significant point of wearing a sunscreen before going out is to protect yourself from ultraviolet (UV) rays which the sun gives off during the day.
Even if you plan to stay indoors, you still need to apply sunscreen as you can be exposed to UV rays since it can filter in through open windows or doors.
But why are UV rays so harmful to the skin and why do you need to protect yourself with sunscreen? Well, exposure to UV rays is one of the most significant contributors to premature aging of the skin. It can cause leathery skin, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, etc.
UV rays from solar radiation are also considered to be carcinogenic to humans. So, there is a very real possibility of getting skin melanoma, which is a form of skin cancer, if you are exposed to UV rays too much.
The Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+ is at the top of the list and quite possibly the first in my heart. After trying it recently, I really enjoyed wearing this sunscreen as it leaves no white cast on the skin and feels very moisturising.
Not surprising that it feels great on the skin as it is infused with skin-loving ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and royal jelly extract. Best of all, a little goes a long way with this formula. So this tube is going to last me quite a while.
