Get healthy, Radiant skin this Raya with Dermalogica Cleanser & Sunscreen

Cleansing and suncare protection are important in our daily life to achieve healthy skin. The hustle and bustle of the Hari Raya celebration is no reason to neglect your skin health.  Let your true radiance light up the festive season with Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel and Solar Defense Booster SPF50. 

In line with its Get Naked campaign, Dermalogica hopes to help women achieve great skin that needs no cover up, so that they can meet and greet their family and friends during the festive period with glowing confidence.

 

Keeping your skin clean is the first step to achieve healthy, glowing skin. The Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is formulated to flush out impurities thoroughly without disturbing the skin’s natural moisture balance. The concentrated, soap-free foaming gel contains no artificial fragrance or colour.

 

The Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster SPF50 also prevents harmful sun rays from damaging the skin by adding critical UVA and UVB defense to your moisturiser or foundation. Suitable for all skin conditions, this broad spectrum sunscreen is formulated without artificial fragrances and colours. Best of all, the 50ml packaging of the Solar Defense Booster SPF50 allows one to keep it in the handbag and take it along whether on the plane or on the road for handy and continuous application on the move.

After a long day of traveling back to her hometown, celebrity sweetheart Atilia Haron would freshen up with Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel before getting into full festive gusto with her loved ones.

“During the festive holidays, I like to give my skin a ‘break’ too and would avoid putting on make-up. Thus, having healthy, radiant skin during Hari Raya is especially important so that I can meet my family and friends with confidence. Thanks to Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel, I can bare my clean and healthy skin without any reservations!” shares Atilia.

 

Local songstress Mila Jirin is also mindful about protecting her skin even amidst the excitement of ‘balik kampung’. 

“The strong sunlight tends to stream into the car when we are on our way back to our hometown.  To shield my skin without any sticky after-feel of other sunscreens, I swear by the Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster SPF50.  The UVA and UVB protection I get from the sunscreen truly helps me maintain bright and healthy skin, allowing me to present my best to my loved ones even when I have no time for make-up.  I strongly encourage all my fans to spare some time during the Raya celebration to cleanse and protect their skin from the sun too, so that they can look and feel their best during the joyful season,” advises Mila. 

Celebrate the confidence of having great skin with nothing to hide this Hari Raya!  Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel and Solar Defense Booster SPF50 are available now at all AsterSpring and authorized Dermalogica skin health centers at RM155 for 250ml and RM278 for 50ml respectively.

I run with Sun Protection

Since last year, I started to join running race ranging 7km -12km. I started my training whenever I have free time. I'm not just focusing on running but I'm also concern about my sun protection.

Being a beauty blogger and now a new runner (not yet a marathoner), I never neglect my daily sun protection routine! For me, is a MUST to apply a protective weapon on my face and body.

Is Your Face Sun-protected?

This is me under a super hot sun! Can you recognize me? 

Why?  

I want sun protection!

This is another another photo of me when I'm driving. Yes, even in my own car! 

Why? 

I want sun protection!

Do you know, the UV rays can also penetrate glass and are reflected from surfaces such as windows, water and even sand. 

 OMG! :O

Therefore, being indoors, in the city and especially outdoors, we have NO EXCUSE to neglect our daily sun protection routine! For me, is a MUST to apply a protective weapon on my face!

This is my powerful weapon to protect my complexion from the damaging UV rays!

 The new Banana Boat Ultra Protect FACES SPF50 !

The new Banana Boat Ultra Protect FACES SPF50 is  now formulated with AvoTriplex® Technology to give better, longer-lasting protection!

Back to the reason why I need sun protection. Actually not only me, all the ladies and gentlemen also need to protect your delicate complexion from this damaging UV rays!

• Premature Aging! Caused by the sun’s UVA rays when its penetrate the skin
• Skin become darken and burn, combine to break down the structure of our skin leaving it dull and lacking in elasticity, all these caused by the UVB rays.
• Over the years, sun-damage becomes more apparent in the form of deeper wrinkles around oureyes and mouth as well as uneven pigmentation, which appears as Age Spots! :O

The new Banana Boat Ultra Protect FACES SPF50 comes in 60ml light green and dark blue tube. The new Banana Boat Ultra Protect FACES SPF50 is:

• formulated for everyday lightweight
• lasting wear
• It is enriched with botanical extracts of tamarind, cotton and stevia. Hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested
• Banana Boat products are Sun-Tested, Sun-Proven® protection against the sun’s rays. 

About the ingredients and the Banana Boat’s AvoTriplex® Technology.

The Banana Boat’s AvoTriplex® Technology combines:

1.) Avobenzone

• a powerful absorber of UVA rays which cause long-term skin damage. 
• UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin’s dermis and hypodermis layers to cause long-term harm to the skin.

2.) UVB absorbers

• to protect against the burning effects of the sun. 
• Without proper protection, UVB rays penetrate the skin’s epidermis layer, causing it to burn within minutes, depending on your skin type.

3.) A photo-stabilizing agent

• to maintain longer-lasting sun protection without breaking down so easily.

My review for the new Banana Boat Ultra Protect FACES SPF50:

I have been using the new Banana Boat Ultra Protect FACES SPF50 for about 14 days. It has light creamy texture. When I apply on my face and neck, it's not greasy or sticky at all! It doesn't feel heavy on my face and one good thing about this sunblock is it's high SPF protection! This can give a longer protection to my face! The new Banana Boat Ultra Protect FACES SPF50 blends perfectly with my liquid foundation and it actually help to hold my makeup.  

The Banana Boat Ultra Protect FACES SPF50 (60ml) is available at RM32.90 at all chain pharmacies, retail stores and hypermarkets.
