The last thing we need in this humid weather is sticky and slimy skin that’s covered in a layer of sweat and lotion. Unfortunately, most sunblocks feel that way – thick, gooey and sticky. But heading out under the sun unprotected is a no-no because prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause photoageing, resulting in wrinkles, dry skin and hyperpigmentation. Well, the solution is not to avoid the sun altogether, but to look for lightweight sunscreens that are suitable for daily use. Our dream UV protector should offer high protection and be lightweight and non-sticky. Bonus points if it leaves a refreshing feeling upon application.

That’s why the Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel scores top marks in our books. The SPF50+ and PA++++ rating is one of the highest levels of UV protection a sunscreen can offer, making it the perfect shield against UVA and UVB rays. But we also love that the sunscreen comes in the same light and watery texture as Bioré’s UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence. Thanks to Bioré’s unique Aqua Rich technology, the lightweight and essence-like texture of the sunscreen is quickly absorbed into the skin, leaving behind no sticky or oily after-feel.

So how does the technology work? Well, the moisturising gel contains water-based Aqua Micro capsules that release cooling ingredients that block out UV rays upon application. That’s why you also get that refreshing sensation upon application! Now with a sunscreen this refreshing and easy to apply, there really is no more excuse to skip sun protection now, is there?
