I told you earlier that I bought a few sun screens from Paula's Choice and now I've had some tome to test them too :) I don't burn easily but I still want to use a sunscreen under makeup so I bought the SPF 15 for daily use/ under makeup. The higher SPF is for beach/travelling.
I have tested both under (mineral) makeup and these feel and look great: not greasy! The SPF 45 is a bit thicker but both a like light facial creams, not too heavy. The scent is very mild and pleasant. I also like the large size, 148 ml. I'm very happy I found these products :D
Olen testaillut nyt molempia mineraalimeikin alla ja ovat toimineet aivan loistavasti! Ihanan kevyitä, kuin kevyehköjä kasvovoiteita. SK 45 (tuubissa kierrekorkki) on hieman paksumpaa kuin SK 15 (tuubissa flippikorkki) , mutta kumpikaan ei ole liian rasvainen. Tuoksu on todella mieto ja miellyttävä. Jäi ihan kammo viime vuoden Vichystä, naama kiilteli todella pahasti... Tykkään siis Paula'sin koostumuksesta PALJON, todella mukavaa kun löysin nämä tuotteet! Myös tuotteiden koko (148 ml) ilahduttaa, kestää kasvoille/kaulalle käytettynä pitkään. Hinnat ovat noin 17-18€, kokoonsa ja laatuunsa nähden siis ihan kivan hintaiset.
Päivityksenä edelliseen Paula's postaukseeni: Geelivoiteen kosteuttavuus ei riittänyt alkuunkaan, kosteuttamisen minulta löytyy monta parempaa tuotetta, mutta salisyylihappokasvovesi (käytän 3-5 iltaa viikossa) tuntuu sopivan iholleni todella hyvin! Iho on pysynyt aivan puhtaana :)

Kuten aiemmin kerroin, tilaisin Paula's Choicelta muutaman aurinkovoiteen testiin. Nyt olen saanut näitä testattuakin, vaikkei aurinko ole niin paistanut tuossa välissä, niin laitoin näitä kuitenkin päivittäin jo ihan testimielessäkin. En tosiaan auringossa juuri pala mutta suojaamiseen on kuitenkin kiva käyttää jotain, en mineraalipohjaan niin tässä suhteessa luota (kuinka paksu kerros tarvitaan, jotta saadaan tuotteessa mainittu suojakerroin tms). Matalampi SK 15 tuli ostettua päivittäiseen käyttöön ja korkeampi reissuun/rannalle.
