Sunday, October 19, 2008 Because I am quite fair, I get freckles really easily. Although I was contemplating IPL (Intensd Pulse Light) Skin Treatment, I can't bear for my sensitive skin to go through any harsh treatment. As such, I am forever diligently using my sunscreen or sunblock. And, I definitely need at least SPF50 since I am out of office quite a bit. So, what is SPF? SPF means Sun Protection Factor using this equation. Take the time you would normally burn in the sun without protection. 20 minutes would normally produce redness on a light skinned individual. For me, it is about 10 minutes. Multiply that number by the SPF factor of your product. Example: with an SPF 15 X 10 minutes of sunburn time = 15 x 10 = 150 tells how many minutes you may stay in the sun without burning. 150 minutes divided by a 1 hour of 60 minutes = 2.5 hours of sun protection without sunburn. Hence, when I say I need SPF50, it is really because I use the formula, 50 x 10 = 500 minutes, which is about 8.3 hours. This is just sufficient for a day at work. I have tried many sunscreen or sunblock but feel very greasy on my face. But for the last few years, I have only been using the Sunkiller Powdery Milk. ![]() This feels matte on my face and I can immediately put my loose powder thereafter. It does not have a white cast on my face like some products do. And it's SPF50+! This is really my worthy companion throughout.
![]() It is not as matte as my Sunkiller Powder Milk and I thought it was a little greasy at first. But after 5-10 minutes, probably when the face milk was fully absorbed, my face felt quite smooth. Now, this is a good alternative for me so I need not be so dependent on my current Sunkiller powder milk! Labels: Skincare |
