[sponsored review] play longer in the sun with sunplay!

DID YOU KNOW? skin cancer is one of the most common cancers, and it's a growing problem. the unfortunate thing is, it's caused by something we cannot live without - the sun. these UV rays from the sun penetrate deep into the skin and damage the cells, which are then at risk of becoming cancerous. everyone is at risk, but sunburn during childhood can greatly increase the risk of skin cancer later in life. that's why it's important to use protection as soon as possible. (ok this last sentence sounds weird lol.)

sunplay, the no.1 sunscreen brand in japan, has launched its new range with a patented, improved sun care technology, SOLAREX-3. it helps to fight 3 signs of sun damage:

sunburn

♥ highest UVC and UVA protection

♥ UV reflectant technology - acts like a mirror to reflect the UV rays from your skin

skin aging

♥ ronacare ectoin and antileukine 6 - advanced anti-aging ingredients to protect from aging, wrinkles, and brown spots

dryness

♥ hyaluronic acid - lock up to 1000 times its weight in water

♥ reduce water loss and ensure continual skin moisture

i was given a retail-sized sunplay super block spf 130 pa+++ to try out. if you don't know, pa+++ is the 3rd and highest level of UVA protection, while spf means sun protection factor. it represents a time factor that delays the appearance of sunburn. for example, if i get sunburn in 15 mins without sunblock, spf 130 allows me to go up to 1950 mins (15x130)!! that's more than 24 hours!! O_O

unfortunately, now i only use sunblock on my face because my past experiences with body sunblock have been sticky and troublesome to apply, especially when i don't have much time in the morning. with sunplay, i didn't have this problem.

the unique japan watery liquid formulation gives it an ultra-light, water-like texture without the greasiness. it's absorbed easily into the skin, doesn't leave an annoying white cast, and is safe to use on the face as well. oh, did i also mention it's super waterproof?

great for lazy busy people like me - apply once in the morning and i'm safe for the whole day! ^^ you jelly much yet? don't be. you can redeem your free sample --> HERE! they're also having this contest on their facebook page. 20 lucky readers to post "I love Sunplay because..." on their wall stand a chance to win prizes sponsored by sunplay!
