Tinted Sunscreen: Sola Tinted Sunscreen

Sometimes it’s best to mix makeup and skincare into a convenient all-in-one product. Meet the Sola Tinted Sunscreen (P595). It’s a sunscreen, primer, and foundation — all in one bottle. Coming in light beige and sand beige colours, this incredible multitasker promises 18-hour long wear and broad-spectrum protection. As it comes in both sachet and full-sized bottles, customers are free to adjust the product according to their lifestyle needs.

Luxe: Dior Solar

What’s luxury skincare without SPF? Dior’s Solar line features the well-known Protective Crème SPF50, which offers high protection for the face. Non-oily and hydrating, fans of this chosen sunscreen often notice a sweet monoi scent and a satin finish on their faces when applied. The Protective Crème also comes in SPF30.

Moisturising: CosRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream

With a pleasantly mild smell, the CosRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream (P440) comes in a formulation that is both creamy and easy to apply. Acting as a moisturizer aside from sunscreen, this versatile product does initially impart a white cast but it disappears almost immediately upon application.

Easy-Apply: Beach Hut Max Sunscreen Spray

I’m a huge fan of sunscreen sprays for the body. They’re quick and oh-so easy to reapply. For those long beach weekends, consider Beach Hut’s Max SPF100 Sunscreen Spray (P740). When applied to the body, this sunscreen is noticeably clear and lightweight, leaving no gooey feeling. It doesn’t hurt that it offers maximum protection and is sweat and water-resistant too.

Available at Beach Hut website and leading drugstores nationwide

Lightweight: Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen

Supergoop is a cult classic for a reason. Their popular Unseen Sunscreen (P3,250) is unbelievably lightweight – so much so that you may wonder if you’ve put anything on at all. Made with an oil-free formula, it is ideal for skin that’s prone to breakouts. The best part? It can also double as a makeup primer.

It boasts of SPF 50 and is extremely water resistant, lasting up to 80 minutes. Feel safe swimming in the ocean too, as this hardworking balm contains nothing but reef-friendly ingredients.
