Flashback to #SummerFeels

Now that summer's over and we encounter a few rain clouds here and there, we can only say "those were the days". However, great memories last forever, and thankfully I was able to capture the blueness of the skies and the hotness of the afternoon sun on this photo. Imagine yourself baking under le soleil and soaking up all the UVs. You will surely get sunburns by the end of the day.

However, I used these products from Belo SunExpert so I never had burns. I was so happy with the sun protection offered by these Belo products but I never really thought that there's a need for such a thing as an after sun gel. I didn't even know they existed. So when I came across it at Sample Room, I just knew that I had to try it out myself.

So, What Does It Do?

Random photos at Lagbangan Eco Park and Beach Resort located at the island municipality of San Antonio in Northern Samar.

Here's another long overdue review about the Belo SunExpert Perfecting Shield Tinted Sunscreen. I received this one from Sample Room over a year ago. 

The Belo SunExpert Tinted Sunscreen has a creamy consistency, similar to that of bb creams. It's not runny, just creamy. It has a light scent but I can't quiet determine if it's floral or otherwise, rest assured that it's a light scent that is not bothersome at all when you're wearing the tinted sunscreen.

So, I bet you can see the kind of coverage that it offers based on the photos. First of all, the color is kind of off since it's obviously too light for my skin tone. It covered lightly some of my blemishes, evened out my skin tone and lightened my dark circles but I know how weird it looks on my skin. The SPF content is also quiet high at 50, which I guess explains why I have a white cast on my face. 

White cast and tone mismatch aside, I still give praises for this product's sun protection capacity. I've worn this to the beach and it significantly helped prevent sunburns and skin darkening. I also used this on my daughter's face and thank God she didn't get any sunburns. My husband, who spends so many hours outdoors due to his job also uses this on his face and I swear he gets no sunburns and he has minimal skin darkening. I go for light application on him though because I know that my husband wouldn't want the white cast any more than I would.

To Sum Up

Because it doesn't match my skin tone well, I prefer using this to the beach, rather than using this to the office for example because it really looks unflattering on me. It has light coverage, so sometimes I also use this when I'm running errands when I just need something to lighten up my dark circles or for evening out my skin tone.

I also oil up a lot, so I make sure that I set this with a powder, except of course when I'm using this to the beach. (^_^) Ha ha

What do I say? I love having this one around even if I don't use it that often. It's SPF content is superior at 50, and I love the protection it gives me against skin aging. Even when applied sheer, it can even out my skin tone. I would definitely repurchase it for it's sun protection capacity.
