Updated 2021 list: BEST LOCAL Sunscreen Brands

I can never emphasize the importance of applying sunscreen when going out and about under the sun. Yes you might think that you’re protected under the shade of your umbrella, or the tinted windows of your car but in fact, those are not enough to protect your face and from the damaging effects of UVA and UVB which in the long run can lead to skin aging, hyperpigmentation, or worse skin cancer. Even when indoors, sunlight can still pass through the openings of a building or structure. However, many of you are weary of using sunscreen perhaps due to the sticky feeling, or perhaps the overly expensive cost of buying a sunblock or sunscreen.

With this, I have come up with an updated list of affordable and local sunscreen brands to help you start including sunscreen or sunblock in your skin care regimen. This list is compatible with dry to oily skin combinations. 

Here are my list for the best local affordable sunscreens:

1. Belo SunExpert Tinted Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ 10ml 2pcs (P199.00)

• Light weight with coverage

2. Pretty Secret Snail Magic Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50+++ UVA/UVB protection 10 ml (P159.00)

• Borderline foundation consistency

3. Ryx Sunshield SPF 60 20ml (P120.00)

• Has a gel type watery consistency

• Highly affordable

• No whitecast

4. Ryx Skin invisible sunshield (currently unavailable)

5. Fairy Skin Sunscreen Gel Cream 20ml (P150.00)

• Powder finish, perfect for oily skin types

6. Hello Glow 3-in-1 Lightweight Sun Care Gel spf 50+ 50 ml (P290.00)

• Compatible with all skin type

I personally have tested these products before even putting each on this list. If you want to know more about the list and an in depth review of each product, do check out my vlog!
