Beauty: Forget Sunblock Lotion? | Beach Hut Sunblock Spray

I was searching for Beach Hut's website and can't believe my eyes when I saw their URL read: http://www.lotionsucks.com/ - brilliant! I remember when I took Ashton to swim for the first time, I was too excited and forget to bring sunblock.

Now I definitely won't and I've armed him and I with modern sun-blockers!



My picks from Beach Hut are the Beach and BEACH HUT MAX SPF 100. The first sun block in the country with 100 SPF protection. Now, you can go the beach and do hundreds of things under the sun without worrying about damaging your skin! Non-messy and non sticky! Both are sweatproof and waterproof and provides up to 99% UVA/UVB protection.



I am not sure if Beach Hut still gives out frisbees, but luckily I got one for Ashton and he's already feeling the summer fun indoors.



We are summer ready! :) Can't wait for the summer day-offs.

Beauty: Vaseline Healthy White

I absolutely find it interesting how the Japanese use transparent umbrellas like this:



Some find it weird but I find it cool. Just imagine how you can actually be seen by people while protecting yourself from the rain.

Now in the Philippine Islands, these girls rocked the same type of umbrellas. They are wearing Vaseline Healthy White lotion, which gives them a lot of protection from the sun.



I got one for myself and it smells great just like my other Vaseline body lotions. We only have one sun but Vaseline Healthy White lotion has triple sun protection!

I am also obsessed with grabbing every bit of opportunity to whiten my legs and the container says it also has triple lightening with Vitamin B3. I am now giving it a go and will check back again after I finish the entire thing.

The Right Way to Put Sunblock - Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch and Ultra Light

A trip to the resort or beach is not complete without your trusted sunblock, unless you want your R&R to turn into a skin disaster. But did you know most of us are not putting on sunblock the right way? Hence, we still come back with sunburned, peeling, and stingy skin. Without the proper protection, the UV rays will ultimately cause skin damage like wrinkles and other skin impurities.


Jaime putting on the right amount of sunblock by using the teaspoon rule

It was only after Neutrogena invited me to their "skin summer camp" at Anvaya Cove that I learned how to put on sunblock properly - with the use of a teaspoon! Here are the proper amount of sunblock to put on your body:

Half a teaspoon for the face, and for arms, neck, chest, back put one teaspoon per body section. For the entire legs, use two teaspoons and don't forget your ears, toes, hands, and fingers. Try this and you will see for yourself how much sunblock we should all be using.



If you don't want to end up looking like an iced cupcake but want complete sun protection, then I recommend the Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry Touch sunblock for the body. With other beauty bloggers, we've put it on an instant test. We used the teaspoon rule and it was easily absorbed by our skin and there was no sticky feeling afterwards. I personally went under the sun and on to the beach at 3PM and did not end up toasted :) hurray!


Ready to go under the sun with Neutrogena's UltraSheer Sunblock

For the face, I tried the Neutrogena UltraSheer WaterLight sunblock which is even lighter on the skin than the Dry Touch variant. It felt almost like water and is absorbed fast. If you like putting on some powder after your facial sunscreen, then this one is very nice.



Neutrogena which is made by Johnson & Johnson's has also found a way to protect us from the sun even better with their new technology called Helioplex which stops Avobenzone (the main UV protector) from breaking down.


Anvaya Cove enjoyed best with your favorite sunblock!

So next time you hit the sun and sand, don't forget your sunblock and teaspoon to go with it :)
