Stepping up my protection against the scorching sun with two new and improved multi-tasking sun protection warriors from NIVEA. Bought the travel size ones along with me to the beach for a test.
I am having a layer of sunscreen over my tanning lotion. Believe it or not, the sunscreen will not stop me from getting a tan instead, it protects my skin against sunburn and premature skin ageing.
The bottle of blue lotion helps moisturise my skin while I use the bottle of white lotion on my face where it both prevented my skin from getting sunburn.
The moisture level of my skin increases by more than 50% compared to not applying NIVEA Protect & Moisture Sun Lotion SPF 50 PA++
I used to feel that it is meaningless wearing a sunscreen furthermore, it also causes my skin to be sticky. However, I am wrong. Sunscreen may be invisible to our naked eyes, but not in a UV camera.
I always saw people sharing videos like the one above on Facebook until one day I got to experience and witness it by myself at NIVEA's UV Camera Activation event.
I squeeze the sunscreen out from the bottle by myself and applied it onto my dorsum and this is the result:
See that black patchy thing on the photo using UV Lens?!
That is a layer of NIVEA Protect & Moisture Sun Lotion SPF 50 PA++, therefore it proves that the sunscreen I applied actually create a layer to protect my skin.
On my face, there is a slight grey cast that comes from the SPF of my cosmetic but it is not as strong as the one I just applied on my hand as the SPF level will decrease gradually when time passes by.

Thanks to NIVEA sunscreen lotion, at the end of the day I did not encounter any sunburned. Even my most sensitive nose did not have any symptoms of peeling.
