Hate Sticky Sun Protection? Here's your Solution!

I know, many of you don't like to use sunscreen/ sunblock products because they're too sticky. Especially the hot weather in Malaysia, it makes us feel more uncomfortable with the sticky feeling on our skin.

In this article, all of the products I recommend are the products I'm currently using or used before.

Recommendation of Sunscreen/Sunblock products:

Non- sticky products:

The products I recommend for non-sticky products are the sunscreen/sunblock products below, they are just giving me a feeling like applying another layer of moisturizer. Of course, they might be a little more sticky than moisturizer, just a little bit, more.

1. Hada Labo

Hada Labo UV Milk SPF50PA+++

2. Laneige

Laneige Star White Multi-Protector

Used this product before, Laneige Star White Multi-Protector, however I guess there're no more stocks in Malaysia now as I checked in their counter months ago. Love this product as it could makes my skin more radiant, and it helps in whitening our skin.

Laneige Sunblock Triple SPF40/PA++, this is one of the new products, haven't try out yet.

3. Sunplay

UV Moisture Gel with SPF 25 PA++ (Left), and UV Moisture Milk (Right)

Little Sticky Products:
1. Clinique

Super City Block SPF 40

Clinique Super City Block is a tinted product ( as explained by the sales girl). It feels like some kind of liquid foundation to me, but lower coverage compare to liquid foundation. Not that sticky as I exptected.

Sticky Products:
1. BB cream

Most of the BB cream are very sticky, and the protection is not full enough, most of them only PA++. This is the reason why I seldom use BB cream.

Dr.G Gowoonsesang Brightening BB cream SPF30 PA++, very sticky for me, but is full in coverage.

Sunplay Skin Aqua Silky BB cream, SPF 29/ SPF 36 PA++, not that sticky compared to Dr. G

2. Loreal - sticky on my skin, even though this products provides the fullest protection, SPF 50, PA+++.

Loreal UV Perfect SPF 50 PA+++

Body Sun Protection:
1. Vaseline

Vaseline Healthy White SPF 24 Body Lotion, my fav body sun protection for now!

2. Sunplay

Sunplay Clear Water SPF 50 PA +++

Tips of Sun Protection for Your Skin

Do you apply sunscreen/ sunblock EVERYDAY?

For skin care addict like me, Sun Protection always be my final steps after applying all the skin cares.

Okay, here I gonna share some of the Tips for Sun Protection:-

1. Final step of your daily skin care procedure (morning)

2. Re-apply after 2-3 hours

3. Apply sunblock/ sunscreen AT LEAST before 30 mins under the sun

4. At least SPF 15 for indoor, SPF 30 for outdoor activities

5. Preferable choose the sunblock/ sunscreen products which has PA+++ ( Max protection!)

6. Apply daily even though the weather is gloomy/ raining, the UVA/UVB still there! Just you couldn't see it!

7. For extreme activities, choose higher SPF for better protection

8. Don't ever neglect your EYES, NECK, EARS, LIPS and BODY area.

9. Remember to use make up remover before cleansing steps at the night.

Love yourself, love your skin <3

Wacoal to Pink Ribbon Campaign with Parkson @ One Utama

Wacoal Malaysia, in collaboration with Parkson Corporation, launched its 2011 Pink Ribbon Campaign to promote breast cancer awareness on 1 October. The event took place at the ‘Highstreet’ (new wing) of 1 Utama Shopping Centre with a fashion show and media launch.

Stand United Against Breast Cancer!

Early Detection is the Best Protection

The Wacoal 2011 Pink Ribbon Campaign launching ceremony involved special appearances by 2 of Malaysia’s leading female artistes: the Best TV Actress of Anugerah Seri Angkasa 2010, Elaine Daly; and the Most Popular Actress of ntv7 Golden Awards 2010, Debbie Goh; to help spread knowledge on early detection of breast cancer. The launch included a light-hearted group performance.

The ambassodor, Elaine Daly and Debbie Goh

The launching!

Apart from fun activities and exclusive Pink Ribbon giveaways, Wacoal’s experienced beauty consultants were on hand to impart the knowledge on brassiere fitting. Female doctors from Assunta Hospital presented to provide personal consultations and breast screening on a complimentary basis. As early detection saves lives, breast self-examination was widely highlighted at the event and at all Wacoal counters (including those in Parkson’s).

The Ribbon! I know they're not pink >.<

The REMAMA's is the bra designed for patient after breast surgery. So thoughtful of Wacoal, this is definitely good news for them.

Sexy Model Pink Runway Show:

Do you know how to wear a bra CORRECTLY? Consult the sales girl while you're buying and you'll learn more

Check points for you to know whether the Bra is just right for you

So..do you know how to do self checking? And do you do it REGULARLY?

They are from Hospital Assunta, this is theregistration counter to help you on breast screening

Well, check up the steps below if you don't know or not sure on how to do Breast Self Examination:-

Picture from Wikipedia (BSE - Breast Self Examination)

An pictorial example of breast self-examination in six steps. Steps 1-3 involve inspection of the breast with the arms hanging next to the body, behind the head and in the side. Step 4 is palpation of the breast. Step 5 is palpation of the nipple. Step 6 is palpation of the breast while lying down. (from wikipedia)

A variety of methods and patterns are used in breast self-exams. Most methods suggest that the woman stand in front of a mirror with the torso exposed to view. She looks in the mirror for visual signs of dimpling, swelling, or redness on or near the breasts. This is usually repeated in several positions, such as while having hands on the hips, and then again with arms held overhead. (from wikipedia)

Everyone's note to fight against breast cancer

The Pink Ballons are love, right?

Girls, don't ever think that you're young and you could skip this! Have BSE (Breast Self Examination) regularly and consult doctor whenever you feel something isn't right. And hmmm, do you know that guys have the tendency to get breast cancer too?? Spread this awareness to your loved ones.

Always remember....

Early detection is the best protection and saves lives!

Love yourself...<3

OKTOBERFEST 081011 @ One Utama

Yes, I'm writing about OKTOBERFEST again! Don't think it's boring k, this is the 2nd Oktoberfest I attended, in One Utama. My first Oktoberfest event was @ Bavarian Bierhaus . 

If you did not read any of my previous post about Oktoberfest, you probably do not know what is this about. Let me introduce briefly what's Oktoberfest about. I'm definitely so proud of Carlsberg Malaysia, because for the first time ever, they recreated the perfect setting to celebrate the world renowned Bavarian national festival, the famous Oktoberfest! Wow, have you party with Malaysia's Own Oktoberfest yet?? If your answer is no, scroll down what's this about and how did I enjoyed with Malaysia's Own Oktoberfest. 

Compared to my previous oktoberfest event @ Bavarian Bierhaus, this is definitely a big one, and the party started @ One Utama, Old Wing Car Park!

Look at the crowd, this is just half of the hall.

Ok, what was the fun activities this round??

1. Beer

To mark this widely-celebrated festival, Carlsberg Malaysia boasts a month-long extravaganza filled with roaring days of exciting parties, music, authentic gastronomic experiences to whet the appetitie and barrels of Carlsberg, Erdinger Weissbier, Franziskaner Weissbier and Lowenbrau to be downed. Carlsberg Malaysia presents "Malaysia's Own Oktoberfest 2011" by featuring Malaysia's no.1 beer brand Carlsberg and three Bavarian imported beers from Germany!

Cheap, right???

Beer, beer and BEER!

Hmm, could we finish ALL OF THEM?

With my handsome brother!

With MHB girls and Tim

Another shot with MHB girls, Tim and MD of Carlsberg!

Look at what this drunk guy doing with our photographer?

Had Carlsberg all night long! Remember, finish the beer and bring back this cup! 

Info on other beer:

Carlsberg (5% ABV/ alcohol), a lager beer founded by J.C. Jacobsen in 1847 and is an international beer originating from Denmark.

Erdinger Weissbier (5.3% ABV), pioneered in the 70's, was the first German wheat to be distributed nationwide in Germany. Erdinger is brewed according to traditional recipes and has no preservatives, additives and pasteurization, complying with the Bavarian Purity Law 1516.

Franziskaner Weissbier (5% ABV), a traditional Bavarian wheat beer with more than 600 years of history, is refreshing and aromatic in character. This Bavarian beer is naturally cloudy and copper-coloured and enhanced with a sweet malt taste with a smooth creamy texture for finish.

Lowenbrau (5.2% ABV), an original "German Munich Beer", is famous at Oktoberfests. It is a lager beer that is refreshing with a taste of malt and mild hop bitterness. The beer is light to the taste, bright golden yellow in colour, and tryly complements the Bavarian drinking experience.

2. My favourite German Live Band Performance!

These girls in costume are dancing on the stage with the band! So lovely!

Even though some of the songs were the same with my previous event, but they are REALLY AWESOME! Thumbs up for this band!

3. Games

You could find a lot of games for this event since this venue is huge. 

Fun, fun and FUN!

Can't und how guys could hold so many 1L glasses,  I feel so tired even though 1 hand with 1L glass, salute!

4. Dancing  + Fun Time with the girls!

 

This is such a long line, could you spot anyone that familiar?
