Nivea Sun Sunblock Spray

Cheryl of littlerunningteacher.com

– invisible cooling mist

– water resistant

– SPF 50 and UVB protection

– non-greasy

– quick absoption

– works from all angles without repeated pumping

Contains UVA & UVB filters which prevent harmful rays from penetrating your skin and causing damage.

I have tried this baby and it works wonders!  It’s perfect to carry with you while on the beach to re-apply sunblock!  Why?  It’s very easy to use.  Me and the WhenInManila.com team recently went surfing in Zambales and I brought this tool.

Everyone loved it because it was very easy to apply.  Just spray it and you’re good to go.

Quick application – especially if you’re in a rush to surf!

Belo SunExpert

– SPF 50

– PA +++

– Transparent Mist

– Non-sticky

– Quick drying

Use this for long lasting sun protection.  It feels light to apply and comes also in spray form.  It also has a cell protect formula to prevent premature aging.

Kojie San Sunblock

– SPF 50

– PA+++

– with Sunactyl un-stress cell protection

It doesn’t indicate anti-sweat or water resistant though so I think this is best when you’re just strolling down the beach or every-day protection, or when you’re traveling

– good for dry skin as it is very moisturizing and gets oily feel after a while (it’s good for my dry legs)

Take your pick!  Mine works if I combine a few of these.  One for daily, then for the beach, then for retouch etc…

A Beach-lover can never have too many sunblocks!

Last December 16, 2010, Neutrogena officially launched the new Neutrogena Fine Fairness line in relation to the Start the Year Light campaign.  This campaign highlights 8 synergistic ways to give you fair and radiant skin enhancing the best in you: Protect, Shield, Lighten, Renew, Block, Calm, Prevent and Restore.  I have been using the fine fairness range for days now and I really feel that I am getting ready to face a new year – radiant and glowing!  I receive comments from people saying that lately I look “blooming.”  It is also my goal to take care not only of my skin, but my whole being.  I have been taking yoga classes ever since we had the yoga class in Tagaytay.  I have been eating healthier and trying the Detox program of Dr. Jason Peñaranda of Aesthetic Science.

I feel honored to be one of the 8 brand ambassadors for Neutrogena alongside Manila’s beauty icons: Solenn Heussaff, Patty Laurel, Isabel Roces, Georgia Schulze-del Rosario and fellow beauty bloggers: Phoebe Ann Ramos, Jane Kingsu-Cheng, and Earth Rullan. All of us are very different in many ways – we pursue different careers and we have different interests.  The one thing we all have in common is that we excel in our own different fields.  Despite whatever challenges each of us may face, we stand strong to achieve our goals and we stay confident no matter what.  This is what we are hoping to share to all of you, that our confidence is contagious.  We had a head start in  starting our year light, now it’s your turn

This year has been really awesome for me.  It went beyond what I even hoped it to be.   I guess a positive outlook helped me lot and it attracted a lot of opportunities for me.  Blocking all the negativity is the  key to keep going despite challenges.  Our day trip in Nurture Spa Tagaytay helped me realize how my attitude towards life helped me to be where I am now.
