Now that summer’s around the corner, the temperature is rising at full force! From the moment you step foot outside, you’re plunged into stuffy, unforgiving heat with sticky, humid air. You feel the sweat oiling up your face and melting away your makeup. Hours later, when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, you get a jumpscare: who is that haggard, greasy face staring back at you?

If you’re tired of leaving home with a fresh face and then returning looking like a greaseball, here’s your hulas-proof SPF guide! Using the best of K-Beauty skincare ingredients and technology, SOLA is expertly formulated for Philippine weather with 18-hour long-wear coverage. It’s the perfect go-to for protecting your skin without the pesky oiliness and white cast! If you want to summer-proof your routine, here are four SPF essentials for the summer.
1. Turn Suncare Hassle-Free With SOLA Daily Screen SPF 50+/PA++++
Can’t be bothered to apply moisturizer every morning? Luckily, SOLA Daily Screen makes this forgivable: it’s a 2-in-1 moisturizing sunscreen, perfect for everyday sun protection. Aside from its Broad Spectrum UV Protection against UVA and UVB rays, it also contains nourishing skincare ingredients that you expect to see in your favorite moisturizer, like Korean Black Ginseng, Hyaluronic Acid, and Niacinamide. But moisturizing doesn’t equal thick and heavy—it’s so lightweight, its award-winning formula disappears on your skin, with zero white cast! SOLA Daily Screen is available in two sizes: a 7mL travel mini and a 30 mL bottle.
