NATURE & CO Mint & Tea Sun Protector SPF50+ PA+++

Do you apply sunscreen everyday? Do you know that sun exposure can lead to skin aging and pigmentation? Even if you are a teenager, sun damage can be harmful to our skin without us noticing. When the effect is noticeable, chances are it's too late! 

你有天天擦防晒品的习惯吗? 你知道肌肤长期接受紫外线会造成老化和雀斑吗? 无论老少, 皮肤都会在我们不知不觉地情况下受伤害。 当被发现时已经是太迟了! 

I know many people hate applying sunscreen because they have the smell and the sticky feeling.
Well, me too!  
Nature & Co. Mint & Tea Sun Protector
Until I find this awesome product! haha....Nature & Co. is new to us, Malaysians. It's actually one of the subsidiaries of Kose. The skincare line emphasize on natural ingredients, hence the name. The thing that I like about this product is that it's not greasy; it leaves a smooth feeling on the skin after application. As you all know, I have combination skin. So, I have to be extra careful when choosing sunscreen because some can be too rich and oily for my skin which will break me out. And Nature & Co.'s Mint & Tea Protector contains two key ingredient which makes it suitable for oily/combination skin. These two ingredients are none other than.....MINT and TEA! The product contains peppermint extract and 3 types of tea extract (green tea, white tea & oolong) which helps to control oil. Peppermint also contains anti-pruritic agents that calm skin and salicylic acid that contributes to pimple-free skin. As for the tea, they help to prevent damage of collagen (anti-aging + anti-inflammatory). Many research has proven that peppermint & tea extract are effective in skin cancer prevention. Apart from that, the product also consist of organic lavender and chamonilla extract which have relaxing and revitalizing effect on skin.

我知道很多人讨厌擦防晒品是因为它有一股化学物质的味道和那粘粘的感觉。 
其实我也是!
。。。直到我找到了它。Nature & Co.  对我们马来西亚人来说是蛮新的一个品牌。 他其实是日本著名专柜品牌Kose旗下的廉价品牌。 他们家的产品注重天然材料, 所以改了这个名字。 我很喜欢这产品是因为它不会油油的, 而且擦了皮肤是滑的。 我的皮肤是混合性的, 所以在选择防晒品的时候要特别注意。太油的产品会导致痘痘爆发。 可是大家可不用担心这产品会有这个副作用, 因为它含有两样很历害的成分: 薄荷。而且不只是一种茶, 它含有绿茶、白茶和乌龙茶。 薄荷和茶都可帮助控油, 所以不会生痘痘。 再加上薄荷有止痒功效, 又含有水杨酸可防止痘痘丛生。 而茶也可保护胶原蛋白不受破坏 (抗老+抗炎)。许多数据显示薄荷和茶具有抵抗皮肤癌的功能。此外,产品里也含有薰衣草及菊花精华,可放松皮肤。

Watery texture
No coloring added
As you can see from the picture, the product is white in color and it's very watery. This makes it easy to apply and the smooth feeling of my skin makes it a good make up base to work on. It has light herbal scent so I believe it's acceptable to everyone.The watery consistency also means a little goes a long way.

Each bottle cost RM 55.90/45ml. It can be found in Watsons & Sasa but I realised that not all outlet have them. Besides that, I think each bottle can last up to 9 months judging from my experience (with daily use).  

从图上大家可看到产品是白色的, 而且质感水水的,所以很容易使用。它也适合当低妆。产品带着淡淡的草药味,应该大家都可接受。

每瓶售价是 RM 55.90/45 ml, 可在 Watsons 和 Sasa 买到。不过,我发觉只有某些分行有代售。其实,以我的经验来看一瓶大概可以用上9个月, 每次只须用一点就可以涂完整张臉。是给小资女们的好介绍哦!

BIORE UV Perfect Milk SPF 50+ PA+++

Sunscreen protection is one of the basic skincare of every woman daily regime. Currently, I am using Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF50+ with PA+++. It is not merely a sunscreen but also a good make up base. 

防晒是我们每日不可缺少的部骤之一。我现在用着的就是这瓶来自日本的Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF50 PA+++。 它不只是防晒乳, 也是很好的低妆。

Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF 50+ PA+++
Wearing sunscreen not only can prevent our skin against the two harmful rays, UVA and UVB, but it helps to slow the development of wrinkles, pigmentation and premature aging skin. Most importantly,  skin cancer is on the rise and sunscreen has proven to decrease the development of skin cancer. 

防晒不单只可以防制皮肤受到紫外线的伤害, 也可以蔓延皱纹和雀斑的浮现及皮肤老化。更重要的是, 防晒是最有效的抗癌方法。温室效应已严重地破坏了大气层, 使得无法完全隔离紫外线。所以近年来越来越多人患上皮肤癌。大家要更小心咯! 

Do you know what is the difference between SPF and PA? SPF is used to measure the duration of protection against UVB while PA is used to measure the level of protection against UVA. The usual sunscreen product that are available contains SPF 15-20. Our human skin can only withstand the sun for 20 minutes before getting sunburn. So, if you put on sunscreen with SPF15, you are protecting your skin against the sun for 15 times more, which equals to 300 minutes or 5 hours. After 5 hours, you are advised to reapply sunscreen. As for PA, it is measured by '+'. PA+ can protect your skin for 2-4hours and the highest level of protection is PA+++. UVA is the main cause of aging. This is because of its ability to penetrate the skin and damage our collagen. Meanwhile, UVB will cause skin peeling and pigmentation, forming dark spots.

你们知道标签上的SPF 和 PA有什么分别吗?  SPF 是用来测量防晒品中对UVB的防御能力的指数, 而PA是防护UVB 的测量指数。 市场上的防晒品都含有SPF15-50。 人类的皮肤如果爆晒超过20分钟就会被晒红。 如果擦了SPF15的防晒品, 就可以把时间延长15倍, 那等于300分钟, 也就是5个小时。 5个小时后, 你就得再擦一层防晒品。至于PA呢, 就是以'+' 来计算。PA+ 可防护UVA长达2-4小时。最高防御能力指数可高达PA+++。 UVA 是皮肤老化的最佳祸手, 因为它可穿透皮肤真层, 破坏脂质和胶原蛋白。UVB 会使皮肤脱皮, 晒黑和形成斑点。 


What I like about this product is the light and water based texture that make it easy to absorb by the skin. The light powdery texture produces fine and smooth skin (non-sticky) after application. You can also apply during outdoor activities as it is waterproof and resistant against sweat. 

这防晒乳的体质水水的、非常轻淡, 也容易被皮肤吸收。 擦在脸上, 感觉有滑有细。 此外, 这支防晒乳也很适合喜欢户外活动的朋友们, 因为它防汗、防水。

It's worth trying! Selling price is RM29.90. Suitable for normal to dry/combination skin but not oily skin. 

它真的值得一试! 售价是RM29.90。 适合干性及混合性皮肤。可是对油性皮肤的朋友们就有可能太过油了。
