summer nanaman at plano ko sanang magwakeboarding this summer (once or twice a week) during my summer semester.

ang problema lang, ang balat ko. ayaw kong umitim. naexperince ko na to noon last year. lutong-luto ako sa araw. nakakahiya nang magpapicture.

ano recommend niyong product (sunblock, bodywash, etc.) na contra-dark skin? Thx.

hindi ko alam ang konsepto ng SPF. kaya kung ano yung pinaka-mataas, yun palagi ang binibili ko pag summer. hahaha. :)

@kilo, pwede mo ba sya explain in layman's term? :)

simple lang naman, nag-pre-prevent siya ng sunburn at para hindi ka magbalat after a sunburn.
the higher the SPF (sun protection factor), the "longer" it takes for it to wear off. pero there is not much difference once you reach spf 45 (which is about 98% protection).

medyo marketing ploy na yung mataas na spf mas may protection from the sun... ok naman kahit 45 lang, mas madalas ka lang mag-reapply kung magtatagal ka under the sun.

ahhh... ok. naintindihan ko na mejo.

meron ako nakita sa watsons.. 100 SPF. banana boat ata yung brand. basta hindi coppertone or nivea.

beach hut yan. haha!
pinsan ko nag-work sa company na yan. sila na may highest spf so far.

pero parang asymptotic yan sa 100% protection. konti na lang nadadagdag sa higher spf.
