Summer Skincare Faves: Japanese/Asian Sunscreen!

Описание: Japanese, Korean & European sunscreens merge skincare with superior sunblock. Breaking down the ways in which these sunscreens are superior would've ended up in an hour long video and I did not want to bore those who just want to see my favourite products. So here is some info:

In the U.S. the FDA has some of the strictest standards for UV filters/blockers. Far fewer proven ones are allowed compared to Asia and Europe, so reasonably, Europe and Asia have potentially more effective sunscreen. One of the most effective proven UVA filters, Mexoryl, is only allowed in the US by the FDA for La Roche-Posay's Anthelios products. Unfortunately. while large European cosmetics companies have great sunblock products, most of them cannot be sold in the U.S.

While Meroxyl is one of the most effective UVA inhibitors commonly used in European sunscreens, in the Japanese sunscreens, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (Uvinal A Plus) gives the substantial UVA protective punch or PA++++ protection.

Japanese sunscreens are also amazing because it has been a big focus of their cosmetics industry through the ages due to cultural standards of beauty being, the lighter the skin, the better. This is a part of everyday skincare and not separate. They have mastered how to create a product that will keep skin light, bright, non-greasy and withstand the oppressive humidity and heat of Summer in Asia.

My picks will make application and reapplication a breeze whatever skin type you have!
