But sunscreens can be pricier compared to other steps in a skincare regimen. So in this post I’ll share some of the most affordable sunscreens under Php 500 you need to try.
Let’s start with the sunscreens I’ve already tried as follows:
Vaseline Tone Up Cream - Php 399
The Vaseline Tone Up Sun Cream SPF 40 is what I’ve been currently using almost through. I got it early this year for 50% off and I wish I bought two already because it’s too pricey. It gives the skin a tone up feeling, not sticky and dries matte. I also don’t see visible white casts that other sunscreens have.
You can read my 3 Step Skincare Routine post for more details.
