Celeteque Sun Care Matte Moisturizer: Review

One thing I get asked frequently is what kind of sunscreen I use on my face. Honestly speaking, I never stick to one brand. I feel that this is the part of my skin care routine in which I don't have to be picky, brand-wise. But even if that's the case, there are still some things I take into consideration when choosing one.

Before I get into that, I would just like to dedicate this short portion to explain why sunscreen is needed. Yes, it is. Whether or not you're using whitening/peeling products, sunscreen is very important. If you've never gone out of the house and never noticed it (which I can hardy believe is possible), the heat emitted by the sun is definitely not something you can take lightly. Especially here in the Philippines, a tropical country, direct sunlight for a couple of minutes might result to unsolicited sun burn and wrinkles. So naturally, if you want even and youthful looking skin, then you should definitely wear sunscreen.

So what do I look for in a sunscreen? For one, I make sure that my sunscreen both has SPF and PA properties to provide me with both UVA and UVB protection. I also feel that the minimum number of SPF that I should use is 30. Moreover, I make sure that the formula isn't too sticky. I like those that feels like a light lotion (THEFACESHOP) or one that has a matte finish (this one). It also helps if the product doesn't come with a hefty price tag.

If you're in a budget, I would highly recommend this one from Celeteque as it has all the properties I'm looking for in a sunscreen. It's actually a moisturizer but it has SPF 30 and a PA protection, which they didn't indicate. It just said broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection but that's okay. It has a matte finish (perfect for those with oily skin like me) and it only costs roughly PHP250 or 5.6USD. It also doesn't break my very sensitive skin out. One tube would last for about half a year with continued everyday use. It is also available in leading drug stores such as Watsons, where I got mine.

If you're reading this and you're asking yourself whether you should buy a sunscreen or not, I'm telling you, you should. If you're in a budget, fret not, because Celeteque is a good dermatologist tested brand that's pretty affordable. So for the final question, do I recommend it? The answer's also 'Yes'.

Celeteque Dermoscience Acne Solutions Oil Control Toner: Review

I may have mentioned this a couple of times before. Sometimes, being a beauty blogger is hard because you always want to try out new things to share with your readers. I also experience that from time to time but there are also times whenI try out one product and I don't find anything new or bad with it that I don't even know what to write. That very thing happened to me when I used the Celeteque Dermoscience Acne Solutions Oil Control Toner with Aloe Vera and Chamomile Extracts.

 Bought at Watson's.

 Budget friendly at PHP75 for 65 ml and PHP117 for 125 ml.

 Simple directions.

Celeteque is a good local brand. I've read countless of reviews online about how good their products are that I want to try them out for myself too. I've always had mixed feelings regarding this brand because it's always been a hit or miss for me. Back then, I saw a review from Janet's blog and I was convinced to try this one out.

This product is a well known product to control acne. As you all probably already know, I have oily sensitive acne prone skin. I think I have the best skin type to try out products like these so I went out and bought one.

During the course of my use (of the product), however, I didn't really feel like anything new happened. My skin did not dramatically improve but it did not worsen from its current state either. Basically, I feelt like the product was just so-so.

I really want to write more on this just so you have more idea but I honestly don't remember anything that stood out to me during the time I spent using the product so I really can't lengthen this post anymore. Let me just leave you with what their website says about the product.

CELETEQUE DermoScience™ Acne Solutions Oil Control Toner has Aloe Vera and Chamomile Extracts that help soothe the skin while removing the last traces of stubborn dirt.

Oh, and some of you may be waiting for my introduction post on the Korean organic skin care set (CELLBN) that I recently received but I still haven't transferred all the stills so please wait patiently. Hehehe. Sorry for the delays.
