Ever since I was little, my mother has been very particular about us using sunscreen whenever we take part in any outdoor activities. As I grew older though, a part of me got lazy and started to do away with it from my skincare routine.
People around me have constantly been reminding me to use sunscreen. My husband, especially, is my numero uno prompter in getting me to slap on the sunscreen, and even he has given up on me ever paying heed to his words.
Then, the children came along.
I started to be more aware of the damage the sun can do to our skin. Given our children’s delicate and soft skin, the damage will definitely be worse!
It also doesn’t help that we live on a tropical island where it is practically summer all year round. Add to that fact that we are a family who enjoy the great outdoors.
I really do not like the idea of either sacrificing our family outdoor time, or doing damage to my children’s skin.
Ever since I made up my mind to make it a habit to apply sunscreen for the children to my best abilities (there are still days where I forget), we have been going through bottles after bottles of sunscreen made for children, constantly on a lookout for new brands to try.
Bioré UV Mild Milk
Recently, we tried Bioré’s latest product, Bioré UV Mild Milk. This is the brand’s very first sunscreen that has been specially formulated to cater to our children’s delicate skin.
While it is made for the children, my husband and I decided to put some on as well. If it’s good for our children’s skin, surely it is good for our old skin as well, right? Besides, it doesn’t make sense to be carrying bottles of sunscreen around.
But I digress.
Getting back to Bioré UV Mild Milk, the first thing that impressed me was how neutral it smelled.
And upon first application of the sunscreen, we were hit by the coolness of the lotion. Then we realized how easily the lotion spreads. What a time saver!
After applying the sunscreen all over our face and body, there weren’t any feelings of discomfort in terms of stickiness. In fact, it doesn’t feel like we have applied anything on ourselves! I like this very much!
The real test, however, came from stepping out into the sun and bathing ourselves in the glorious sun rays.
Hours past and we perspired – some more than others – but none of us felt unusually sticky or clammy. Everything felt pretty much normal, as though we hadn’t applied anything at all.
The only difference I personally felt was during the entire time spent out in the sun, I didn’t feel the usual sting from the sun’s heat on my arms and face. Surely this means that the Bioré UV Mild Milk is working!
So far, the continued use of the product has been pleasant. And with it being pocket-size (90g), not only is it light to carry around, but we’re assured that there is more than enough to go around our family of four for many trips out and about in the sun!
