Sometime I don’t practice what I preach. For example I tell everyone who I know that are into sports to slather on sunscreen and I do not do it myself. I even gave them sunscreens! I bet I am not alone. Most people are good in advising others but when it comes to their ownselves, they slack away hehe.

It is only recently I notice all the multiple tan lines on my body. You see, I love the sun. I love to sweat. I love it when the sun hits my skin. I love being tan and I missed being tan. I hate it when people told me I am fair. Yeap. I am that Asian who does not act like an Asian. I am proud of my tan lines. Funny that sunburn on me subsided very quickly but these tan lines I got from running stays put. As much as I like my tan lines, I am also aware of what the sun can do to my skin. So I scanned across my vanity table and found this Suntegrity Natural Mineral Sunscreen For Body sitting at the wine rack, which I used as my beauty storage. I had a whole row of sunblock there . See! I do take my sun protection very seriously

If you remember my review on Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen Tinted, I did mentioned that the sunscreen gave me itch on the face. I was afraid that this Natural Mineral Sunscreen For Body will also give me itch. I would not want to have itch all over my body while running at a running event! . For the past three weeks, I have been testing out this sunscreen for my morning run. The verdict? I LOVE IT!

Suntegrity Natural Mineral Sunscreen For Body offers a broad-spectrum protection, however it is only SPF30. If you intend to be out in the sun for a quick while, it is fine. It is also a mineral sunscreen that is is free from parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, synthetic dyes, sulfates, nanoparticles and chemical UV absorbers. This sunscreen comes in two version – Unscented and Normal. The one I have with me is the Normal version so it does comes with a hint of citrus scent. Quite pleasant actually. The texture and consistency of the sunscreen scares me at first but I got used to it. It comes out of the tube pitch white, thick and looks absolutely creamy. A little does goes a long way, unless you want to look like Snow White lol. Despite looking all thick and creamy, I do find it to spread easily and when I am done spreading it all over my body, it is actually not greasy at all. I kind of like the thick texture now as somehow it moisturizes my skin and the thicker texture also gave me a piece of mind that it is thick in such a way so that it can really protects the skin. You know sometimes a sunscreen is too light you will keep on applying and applying because it does not give you that kind of assurance? Well, this one does. I also learnt that it contains 20% non-nano, uncoated zinc-oxide for therapeutic broad-spectrum protection against the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays. It is pre-loaded with antioxidants, TSA Friendly and the best of all, it is Made in the USA.

I could not find anything I do not like about this Suntegrity Natural Mineral Sunscreen For Body except that it only offers Broad Spectrum SPF30 and the pitch white product color can be a little scary. I was applying my sunscreen outside of my car at the park when a group of male cyclist cycle passed me, staring at me. They must be wondering what the heck is this girl doing looking patchy white all over her body. So hilarious. The thick texture has got to be my favourite. I like to at least feel something on my skin and knowing I had protection on so that I do not need to keep thinking to reapply every 10 minutes.

Ever since my skin condition and brightness improved with proper skincare routine, getting ready has been fast and easy. I no longer go through a full high coverage foundation routine unless I am heading to an event. My everyday face routine consists only BB cream or CC cream or tinted sunscreen with translucent powder to keep the shine at bay. My recent go-to favourite is this, Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen.

Before Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen landed on my review desk, I have not been using any tinted moisturizer for quite some time. I am someone who love her full coverage makeup. Let’s get real here. I do not have a good skin to begin with. This tinted sunscreen is my quick 5-minutes get ready in a snap type of product. Not only it is a “UV Chemical-Free” tinted sunscreen/BB cream that treats, hydrates, protects, primes and covers the skin, it is also packed with youth promoting antioxidants including astaxanthin that help fight free radical damage. And I heard this vegan tinted sunscreen provides anti-inflammatory properties, especially beneficial for those with rosacea, acne, and melasma. Red algae and certified organic aloe vera, jojoba, sunflower, astaxanthin, pomegranate, cucumber, green tea and hyaluronic acid provide the face with additional sun defence and hydration.

First of all, I like that it comes in a pump tube packaging. And the silver well-made pump is not something made from some cheap material. With a pump dispenser, I can just pump some products onto my finger tips, apply and repeat as needed. Crucial if you wanna dash out of the house in 5 minutes lol.

I chose the shade “Light” after googling for swatches online. Since this is afterall a tinted sunscreen, I figure nothing can really go wrong with light coverage product like this. What else can go wrong, right? Left? Nah. I was also sent two other shades deluxe size to try. TNS Skin Lab website provide a detail explanation on how to choose the right shade.

Light – Suitable for light skin tones similar to Angelina Jolie, Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts, Katie Holmes, Carrie Underwood and Hillary Swank.

Golden Light – Suitable for skin tones with a golden undertone similar to the following actress typically when they have a tan/spray tan: Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Sandra Oh.

Medium  – Suitable for medium and olive skin tones similar to Eva Mendez, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Paul Patton & Kim Kardashian.

Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen is an all-in-one product that Treat, Hydrate, Protect, Prime, and Cover. It didn’t say anything about not using skincare prior but since this is my go-to product when I need to get ready in 5-minutes. I only use a toner, eye cream and then this. It provides sufficient moisturization for my skin without making it looking oily. I was expecting tinted sunscreen to be oily like every other product in the market, but not this one. It still gives my skin a little bit of shine and that does not bothers me. My skin has changed from oily to dry due to aging so no complain with anything that can plump up my skin!

When I received the package, I opened it up immediately and apply it on my face. Within 15 minutes I feel an itch, then the itch became so intense I have to remove it. It reminds me of the past skin allergy I had so I was worried. I did not see any red patches on my skin thereafter so I tried it the next day. Same thing happened. I was devastated. Really really devastated as I knew this product will be so useful for me now that I don’t wear much base makeup. Other people would have given up on the product altogether but not me. I decided to try again after a few days and guess what? No itch! And till today there was no itch! I am able to wear this from day to night without any issue at all . I am so glad I did not give up trying otherwise I would have missed this wonderful product. Oh and, there is no funky scent at all. Natural product can smell really bad sometimes and this one doesn’t. More reason to use this.

Below is the Before and After. You hardly can notice the difference except for a healthier looking, hydrated, plump up skin on the left side. Please ignore the uneven eyebrow pencil application. I tried a new eyebrow pencil and boy that pencil is intense. Going light handed is not my thing lol.

I always set any liquid product with a light sweep of powder. This is completely optional depending on your skin type and your preference. And with that I am ready! This product has been a life saver. I never dare to skip my day time skincare with any other product except for this Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen. You are not suppose to but I did, cheekily!
