Beauty-fooled?

My exhaustion is so deep that it goes all the way down to my bones – the vertebral column to be specific­ – and I can’t be bothered to adjust this awful sitting position I'm in because someone’s hogging the bed, conquering all these fluffy pillows leaving me no choice but to make-do with this crooked chair.

God bless this hotel for providing splendid wifi connection.  

Anyway, I thought I’d do a quick review on The Body Shop - Moisture White Shiso UV Protector SPF 30 PA+++ 50ml sunscreen before snoring the night away.

Harmful UVA and UVB rays affect us all whether it's by way of sunburns or, even worse, extensive skin damage. I, have never taken the least bit of interest in applying any sticky substance onto my face which of course, never ceases to be of great annoyance to my mother. Only now I realise that it pays to understand how sunscreen works.

However, I'm disappointed.

I bought TBS - Moisutre White Shiso UV Protector just a day before I went on a beach holiday with my family and it cost me RM99 (30$). It has such sumptuous ingredient list and I thought why not since it might be compatible with my super sensitive skin.

So after squeezing out a generous dollop, the texture looks more like a moisturizer than a UV cream and is not at all creamy. In fact, on applying, I had to liberally rub and spread it everywhere to even out the visible white cast. Although this full spectrum sun block protects and hydrates my skin, it causes me breakouts and I dislike it very much.

I'm not sure if I'd like to apply it as a base for my makeup since it itches and irritates my skin so much. It makes my skin feel heavy even hours after application too. Mum said I should give it time – for my skin to adjust to it but I really don't have the patience for it. The only thing that I like about this sunscreen is the subtle fragrance it gives out. 

It's incompatible with my skin and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but we all have different skin types so if you think you'd like to give it a try, go ahead and best of luck! 

P.S. 4 days to the New Year! Are you excited yet?!
