Sunscreen is a vital part of skincare. No matter how many products you put in your face, it will be futile if you do not protect your skin from the sun. Most people do not like to apply sunscreen because it tends to be sticky, but one with a water-based formula addresses this issue. Bioré’s UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50’s Aqua Micro Capsule-infused formula provides intense skin protection while providing moisture. It also includes hyaluronic acid, which also helps smoothen skin. Because this product is water-based, you won’t have to worry about visible white residues, too.

When your skin is in need of intense moisturization, put on Tony Moly’s Dr. LOGY sheet mask, which provides multiple benefits. It combines the effects of hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which are vital in moisturizing your skin. It is also formulated with mineral-rich sea salt and deep sea water, which both help in giving a healthier complexion. Just remember to put on the mask in the middle of your skin care routine, which means you have to cleanse and exfoliate your face first before putting it on. Leave it on your skin for 10 to 15 minutes then gently tap on your skin to let it absorb the moisture.

The Dr. LOGY sheet mask is out of stock as of January 2021, but a similar moisturizing mask from Tony Moly is The Chok Chok Green Tea Watery Mask Sheet (PhP78).
