Reddit reviews Evagloss Self Tanner Sunless Tanning Lotion - Natural Healthy Beautiful Golden Glow for Body & Face, Gradual & Even Buildable Bronzer Light Medium or Dark

One of the most popular sunscreens in the r/asianbeauty sub is this one by Bioré and another one that I tried that also worked well was this one by Nivea.

I just pulled links to the products from Amazon to show you what they are, but if you want to purchase them, please make sure you look for the best prices.

Sounds similar to the one I use - Nivea water gel

I'm in the US and I get the Nivea on Amazon when it's available for Prime: http://www.amazon.com/Nivea-Protect-Water-Protection-Import/dp/B00BALO0XG

So so so sorry. :x I KNOW, it drives me mad too. The new releases are all on rakuten but I'm scared of the cost for EMS shipping. Not to be a horrible enabler, but the version I'm using now (SPF33 not SPF50) is on prime shipping. There's another product from the line that's SPF 50 that's also prime.

Another thing that is making these totally HG status for me is the size. The one I use is 140g!!~~!~ It's this one.

IIRC, using half the amount of recommended sunscreen gives you the square root of the SPF. So using 1/8 tsp of SPF 50 would give you ~7 SPF.

I do use the full 1/4 tsp. Some sunscreens are really good at sinking in quickly and not being greasy. Asian sunscreens are popular for that reason. I just finished a bottle of this sunscreen, which isn't too expensive and wasn't very greasy. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch is also pretty popular around here and easy to find.

My routine is still under construction. I am working to reduce redness, Melasma and PIH as well as improve my complexion overall.

AM

• Cleanse: DIY cleansing oil (3:1 sweet almond oil to castor oil) applied prior to shower. This gives the oils time to work and also protects my face from shampoo and conditioner.
  
• Cleanse: Remove oil with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and a microfiber cloth.
  
• Cleanse: Once every week or two I'll use Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque.
  
• Brighten: Hyaluronic Acid
  
• Protect: Nivea Protect Water Gel Sunscreen
  
  
  PM
  
  
• Cleanse: Wash with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, a Konjac sponge and a microfiber cloth.
  
• BHA: Stridex in the red box
  
• AHA: Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion 10% Glycolic AHA
  
• Brighten: Hyaluronic Acid
  
• Moisturize: Cerave Moisturizing Lotion
  
  The next thing I want to add is a vitamin C serum in the AM. Beyond that I'm not sure.
  
  Apart from the oils and sunscreen, most of these represent the first brand I've tried for a given product. I am undecided if I'll switch brands when the ones above run out. I'm not looking forward to patch testing and starting over but how else will I know if something else works better?
  
  I soak my Konjac sponge in white vinegar weekly and use a new microfiber cloth each day.
  
  
  
  
  

This is the biggest Asian sunscreen I could find. 140g! Planning to use it for my body and not expensive either :)

The Nivea Sun Protect is pretty amazing on normal days where I don't necessarily need max sun protection.

You might want to try : Nivea Sun

It's not coppertone level cheap, but it won't white cast you, is ~$13 and change for 5oz and would likely be a good choice for an indoor facial sunscreen
