Beauty Tips For Body Care
This is my first post, so apologies for any violations! I just bought and tested the P20 kids, notorious for being both one of the most protective sunscreens in existence, and greasier than a piece of sweaty cheese. I can happily report that I didnt find the latter.I was extremely relieved because all of the reddit posts I read about it after I (impulsively) bought it, were centered around discussions about whether it was greasier/less greasy than mashing your face into a plate of chips. Consensus was more greasy. So I was understandablly concerned.For background, I have dry-ish, non-acne prone skin with pretty sensitive eyes. I am fitzpatrick I/II. I applied the sunscreen directly after a hydrating skin routine with no moisturiser. Several people suggested this bc the sunscreen is very occlusive. This worked well. Throughout the day I didnt become greasy. The temperature was about 15 degrees celsius and sunny, but I feel like it will stand up to much higher temps. The humidity was low. Im not sure how it would stand up to higher humidity honestly. If you are in a very sticky environment it might feel oppressive. Its alcohol free, so thats a plus and minus when considering humidity. My skin cant tolerate alcohol so I dont have any choice.I was told that one pump is exactly enough for face and neck by design. Totally disagree. Maybe a 'kids' face and neck? I used 2.5 pumps. Is this in the marketing? It was not that hard to gently smooth that into the skin. I let it set for 20+ mins, as always.It almost dried down, left a radiant finish (not oily, truly!) And formed a very grippy base for my foundation. It seemed to really work like a primer, preventing my foundation from settling into lines. Halfway through the day I reapplied.It went on fine, slightly greasier than before, but I honestly couldnt feel it on my face. The foundation also settled with it. I wouldnt go to a formal ball in it after reapplication, but for a day off/work day/shopping/hiking day on holiday, it doesnt look weird at all.It irritated my eyes, only slightly, when a bit migrated in, but honestly Ive had much worse.Ill check back in if it breaks me out or something weird comes up, but so far Im totally impressed.I wanted to post this because the protection of the P20 kids is insanely high, and I dont want potential users to be totally put off by all the reviews of its greasiness. I didnt find it so! Maybe they have tweaked the formula? I honestly couldnt recognise it from the reviews.I paid 20 euro for 200 ml. For my face it will last a while. Perhaps 3.5 months? For use on the body for outdoors work or a long outdoors holiday, you will go through it quite quickly. For reference, my other favourite sunscreens (were) keep cool, purito, klairs, hygee, (and now are): isehan kiss me mommy, skin aqua moisture milk, canmake mermaid skin gel. (So Im used to sunscreens with an elegant formula!)Definitely worth a try if you need hardcore protection!
