Oh My Sunscreens...
I am BIG on sunscreens, skincare, sunscreens... and since there are tons of products out there that claims what what, I decide to summarise them here so I can decide which ones to get and why. I have so far used sunscreens from SkinFood, Kose, Garnier, Mentholatum Acnes, Sunplay, and the latest is Biore.
Without further adue, here are some sunscreens I have in mind that I might test out slowly in the future:

i really like shiseido's face sunscreen, it's surprisingly matte for a sunscreen. i haven't tried or ever seen the anessa version but i'm very intrigued! is this available worldwide??
two sunscreens i really dislike for face is sensol--because i find it extreeeemely oily and will leave you slick and shiny. i also don't like the neutrogena one because it tends to leave my face with little bumps after a few days :(
what are your fav sunscreens? :)
About Anessa one, I've seen it online or from Asia, Australia (especially Brisbane, where I live right now) unfortunately does not stock any of these or Kanebo or Kose. Australia also has a maximum limit of SPF30+, so I have to get those higher than 30 online or when I travel overseas.
Oh thanks for telling me about Sensol, I'll stay away from them haha.. and Oh my, I didn't think Neutrogena ones would break you out or give you bumps! I also heard that they could look quite greasy >< Gosh, I think I'll probably try Shiseido next!
So far, Kose Q10 Smooth Touch SPF50+ PA+++ ranks high in my list, my first face sunscreen and I love the smell, love the texture and I think it did brightens my complexion and blends effortlessly. At the moment I'm using Biore Perfect Face Milk in SPF50+ PA++ and I must say it's surprisingly quite nice for such a cheap price! I found it at a supermarket when I was in Singapore ^^
Wow that was a long comment ==
