Back from my island holiday! And I’m now one tone darker.
Well, it’s impossible not to get tanned after spending a few days in Langkawi Island. Wherever you go, the sun is always up there in the sky, smiling to you and kissing your skin. I’m lucky that I am only just one tone darker, considering that we did quite some outdoor activities, e.g. trekking up to the Seven Wells, Cable Car, Crocodile Farm, from the parking lot to the shopping mall… There’s just no way you can escape from the sun!
Good for me that I bought Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF50 (PA+++). Although it’s considered expensive for a sun protection lotion (RM160), it’s a really great product for it can be used on both face and body parts, and it doesn’t leave a sticky or filmy feeling on the skin (e.g. arms and legs). Instead, it leaves a smooth, powdery feeling on the skin, and keeps the skin hydrated. It also has a very nice fragrance unlike normal sun protection lotions or creams.
The Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF50 is very water resistant and perspiration resistant. That’s both good and bad. Good because it makes perfect for outdoor activities, as you don’t have to reapply often due to sweating. Bad because you need to soap and wash yourself thoroughly to ensure no residue of the lotion is left on your skin at the end of the day. In fact, according to the leaflet in the product packaging, the use of a special Shiseido suncare cleanser is recommended.
There is still a lot of the lotion left in the bottle, so I will be using this Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF50 often whenever I go for my weekly outdoor walking sessions. ![]()
