Hi! I saw a post on IG and decided to also share this here since it's about the Korean Sunscreens controversy. I'm not sure if it's already posted here but this can serve as your reference for what to buy for your sunscreens. 

Note: Sunscreens that are not listed here do not mean that they are unreliable or that they do not pass the SPF testing. It's just that there is no info to support it yet. This is from @its_ashlyn2.0 on Instagram.

Sunscreens You Can Rely On

Please drop them in the comments below so we can all be aware of them and avoid them as much as possible. :)

Brands that are NOT Cruelty-Free

Which would you prefer and what products would you recommend? Can you also share what you liked about it?

Someone said to me before that after using a micellar water, I should also use cleansing balms/oil after. Is that correct? Isn't a micellar water an oil-based cleanser already?

Cleansing balms, cleansing oils, or micellar water?

Hi! Any recommendations for sunscreens?

Must be:
A. No white cast
B. Doesn't make you oilier
C. The size is worth the money

I'm currently looking for Asian sunscreens that are good for the budget of students. But just recommend right away, whether it would be Asian or not. 😊

Which sunscreen works for you?

Can you recommend body lotions that you love? Would also really love if it has SPF! :)

Best Body Lotions

I didn&#39;t really like how it comes in a mini tub. It&#39;s not that really hygienic. I wish they would change it or add a mini spatula that has a cover so it would remain hygienic.

This is such a good product! Every time I use this before I go to sleep, I&#39;ll wake up with soft and supple lips! It&#39;s even really cheap!

As much as I really like this product, what I didn&#39;t like is that it&#39;s not really long-lasting. It&#39;s just a temporary fix.

What I really like about this is after 10-15 minutes of putting it into my lips, if my lips is too dry, it can guarantee to give you a soft lips! Perfect when you need to apply lipstick later!


I also like its packaging since it&#39;s very hygienic, not like other lip balms that comes in a stick or tub.

This product can also last for more than a year (depends on the user)!!! I&#39;ve been using this since last year and god knows how much I put in a day.

I have experienced no bad effects on this product! I love it!

It&#39;s no wonder this product has been recommended by dermatologists! This product does a great job for someone who has a conbination-oily skin type. It doesn&#39;t leave my skin feeling tight after using it and it&#39;s great for people with sensitive skin too! I love how it has no fragrance and how it cleanses my face even if it&#39;s recommended for people with dry skin.

I didn&#39;t really like the smell. It had no effect on my skin after more than five months of using.

It was cheap and a little of it goes a long way!

Some may not like that it has a minty smell and minty feeling.

I love how refreshing it feels and how light it is! It&#39;s perfect as a daily moisturizer!
