SUNCARE :)



Hello everyone! So today’s post is going to be a review about the most important summer product : sun care. Our skin needs to be sun protected because If we protect our skin from the sun we aren’t just protecting it against the sun burn, we are also preventing spots, hyper pigmentation and wrinkles. But that Is not everything because when you are not exposed at the sun anymore you also need to care about applying after sun this will help to alleviate the skin after a sun exposure. This is what I use at the moment:



I've been using this since last year and are my favourite so far. Aptonia sunscreen are moisturising solar gel cream which is really important because you're hydrated and sun protected at the same time and because is gel form (big bottle) or spray (little bottle) It makes it really easy to apply. The smell of those is really good as well because is not the typical sunscreen smell , It has a fruity smell. It doesn't leave white marks which I love , How many times did you reapplied sunblock anywhere out of your house and someone said to you : "Hey do you have some white mark because of the sunscreen there." Tell me , how many times? And last but not least are water resistant! how amazing is that?! :) This sunscreen is my favourite so far it has everything you need in a bottle! Sun protection (you choose the SPF), moisturizer, no white marks, smells good, easy to apply and water resistant. The big bottle (200ml)  is the one I apply at home or I wear in the beach bag or pool bag (SPF 50+), the little one (50ml) is always in my purse 'cause you don't want to be carrying a big bottle of sunscreen everywhere, if you're going shopping your body is also exposed to the sun so you also need to reapply the sunscreen sometime. (SPF 30)



When we are protecting our face from the sun we look for different sunscreen properties, that's why I bought those.
Both are L'oréal paris Solar expertise SPF 50+,avoids hyper pigmentation and prevents wrinkles. They smell like sunscreen, aren't totally water resistant (but I wish they were) although in the back says:"water resistant" It doesn't lasts   that long on to your skin .
But you can't have everything you wanted to and if you're not going to the pool or the the beach you need to apply sunblock but you don't need it to be water resistant. 
The difference between those is that the "big" bottle one (75ml) leaves a greasy effect on your skin (but it's my second bottle of it) and the little bottle one (50ml) is in liquid form and doesn't let your skin greasy.

How I said before after sun products are really important part of the solar exposition.
I use the Babaria Rosa Mosqueta which it hydrates your skin , anti-aging and photo protection. It smells really good, the scent is flowery but no sweet.(150ml) There are other products with rosa mosqueta , those do wonders to your skin. (check out the different products in the link down below)

This next product is a Korres after sun, it's ultra cooling and smoothing efect and you can notice that because leaves your skin fresh and smooth (You can keep it in the fridge for a maximum effect). It's in gel form so it's really easy to apply, it melts with your skin really gentle. is for face and body (although I use it on my face becouse I have a mini size (50ml)) But the most exciting is that ; smells like youghurt! :D yey! And it says "With real edible yoghurt
This after sun is by far the best I've ever tried. 

So this are my recomendations for summer, It works for me It might won't work for you but are products that are really dificult to hate (If you hate the yoghurt you may hate the last one) But anyways  no matter which product you are goning to use apply those regular on to your skin specially if you're goning to be exposed to the sun. 

GOOD LUCK!  Hope you like the post, here you have some links where you can find some of the products mentioned.If you have any question leave a comment below. Thanks for reading! :)
