3 Best Japanese Sunscreens for Sensitive Skin

Best Japanese Sunscreens
    This week, I watched this YouTube video about best Japanese sunscreen products recommended by Sumisho who is a Japanese YouTuber and used to work for a Japanese cosmetic company as a cosmetic scientist in Japan. He recommends sunscreen products for people who have very sensitive skins including small kids. If you understand Japanese, you should check out his YouTube channel. He talks about many Japanese products from a professional point of view. Today, I'm going to share with you three best Japanese sunscreens the Japanese cosmetic scientist recommended in his video.




1. Curel UV Protection Face Milk SPF30 PA++ (キュレル UVミルク SPF30 PA++)

Sunscreen
SPF30 PA++
30ml for 1,500 yen
Can be purchased at many drugstores in Japan
Curel UV Protection Face Milk SPF30 PA++
       In Japan, Curel is a skin care brand of Kao, one of the largest cosmetic companies in Japan. Japanese Curel products are made for people who have sensitive dry skins.

       This Curel UV Protection Face Milk does not make your face look pale, so it's also perfect for men and kids. In addition, this is a sweat and water resistant sunscreen, so you might want to use makeup remover to remove sunscreen completely.
Curel UV Protection Face Milk SPF30 PA++
   By the way, I wrote about a popular Japanese Curel product, Curel Intensive Moisture Cream, in my previous entry, 7 Best Japanese Beauty Products Hall of Fame.




2. Nivea Sun Protect Water Milk Mild SPF 50+ PA+++ (ニベアサン プロテクト ウォーター ミルク マイルドSPF50+ PA+++) 
Sunscreen
SPF50+ PA+++
30ml for 580 yen
Can be purchased at many drugstores in Japan
Nivea Sun Protect Water Milk Mild SPF 50+ PA+++
       If you are looking for the most affordable sunscreen with high SPF, you should try Nivea Sun Protect Water Milk Mild SPF 50+ PA+++. This is also a sweat and water resistant sunscreen, so you might want to use makeup remover to remove this sunscreen completely. This sunscreen slightly leaves a white cast on your skin, so it's good to use as a makeup primer, but if you don't wear makeup, you might want to skip this sunscreen.
Nivea Sun Protect Water Milk Mild SPF 50+ PA+++
     Before applying this sunscreen, shake it well to make sure the protective ingredients are mixed in thoroughly.

    By the way, as I mentioned in my previous entry, 16 Best Japanese Beauty Products I Purchased in Japan - Drugstore, Discount Store, Daiso and Amazon Japan, I purchased Nivea Sun Water Gel For Kids SPF28 PA++ and Nivea Sun Water Gel SPF35 PA+++ in Japan. I really liked both of them because they are gentle to your skin, the texture is very light and no white cast. In addition, they are easy to remove. 😉




3. Orbis UV CUT Sunscreen Freence SPF30 PA+++ (オルビス サンスクリーン フリーエンス SPF30 PA+++)
Sunscreen
SPF30 PA+++
50ml for 1,200 yen
Can be purchased at ORBIS The Shop and some department stores in Japan. (Some Aeon supermarkets and PARCO also have ORBIS The Shop.)

Orbis UV CUT Sunscreen Freence SPF30 PA+++
       ORBIS UV Cut Sunscreen Freence SPF30 PA+++ has many positive reviews in Japan. Even though it's not a waterproof sunscreen, it's very gentle to your skin and you can remove this sunscreen with your facial cleanser or regular soap very easily. You don't need to use makeup remover to remove this sunscreen, so it's also perfect sunscreen for kids. Many people review that it doesn't make your skin sticky.
      ORBIS products can be purchased at department stores and ORBIS branches, ORBIS The Shop, in Japan. You can also find ORIBIS The Shop at many Aeon supermarkets.

Mini Spatulas
        It's very hard to use every last drop of your favorite bottled beauty products. Have you ever thought that you are wasting money when you throw them away?

       This month, I've purchased these mini spatulas to save money on my favorite beauty products!  
Mini Spatulas
       Pump-type container is easy to use, but it's very hard to get the last bit of it out of the container. With using this mini spatula, you can get every last drop of your favorite beauty products.😉
Mini Spatula
      As I mentioned in my previous entry, Muji Whitening Beauty Serum - My New Favorite Skincare Product!, I'm currently using Muji Whitening Beauty Serum (無印良品 敏感肌用 薬用美白美容液), which I purchased in Japan seven months ago, and I really love it because it truly works for me. I've noticed that it gradually fades dark spots. However, I am not sure when I can fly to Japan next time to purchase this one again because we don't know when the coronavirus pandemic ends. That's why I really don't want to waste every last drop of it. 😁  

Mini Spatula
       The smallest spatula is perfect size for this No Pore Blem Primer, a Korean makeup primer which was included in The Case Full Of Seoul.

Mini Spatula
     The longest spatula is perfect for this tall container of Nivea Essentially Enriched Body Lotion.

Top 15 Popular Posts from Best Japanese Beauty Products

Today, I'm going to share with you 15 most popular entries from Best Japanese Beauty Products in the past a year. Hopefully, you are able to find Japanese beauty entries that you might have missed. :)
Best Japanese Beauty Products




No.1   Top 5 Most Popular Japanese Pore Minimizer
Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Powder
      Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Powder is the most popular Japanese enzyme facial cleansing powder. When you foam up Suisai Clear Powder, I recommend you to use a Japanese foaming net. (Japanese cosmetic companies and beauty magazines always recommend to wash your face with plenty of thick foam.)




No.2   5 Best Japanese Facial Lotion (Toner), Kesho-sui
Kose Sekkisei
         Japanese facial lotion is called keshosui (化粧水) in Japan, and it is seriously the most important skincare item for Japanese women. By the way, my favorite keshosui is Muji Light Toning Water. :)




No.3   3 Best Japanese Eye Creams Won Beauty Award This Year
Pola Anti Wrinkle Serum
     I believe that applying eye cream every day is very important because the skin around eye area is thinnest in the body and is the first to show age.




No.4   Rohto Obagi Vitamin C Serum - Japanese Beauty Serum Loved by Foreign Tourists
Rohto Obagi Vitamin C Serum
        Rohoto Obagi Vitamin C Serum is one of the most popular Japanese beauty products for foreign tourists visiting Japan. It has actually won many beauty awards in Japan. Many Japanese people review that it minimizes skin pores and evens skin tone. Especially, it works for acne scars and enlarged facial pores in aging.




No.5    5 Best Japanese Deep Conditioning Hair Masks
Shiseido Fino
       Japanese deep conditioning hair masks are affordable and truly work! Shiseido Fino is very popular on Amazon US.





No.6 Top 5 Best Japanese Double Eyelid Glue/Tape Products
Ledouble
      Many of my Japanese friends who have monolids have used Japanese double eyelid glue/tape every day. I always forget my friends have monolids originally. Their double eyelids look perfectly natural to me.




No.7   Top 5 Life-Changing Japanese Beauty Products
Foaming Net
       I want you to try these five products! I think that most Japanese women use a foaming net, which allow you to create very thick foam very quickly with only tiny amount of a facial cleansing product.




No.8   2 Most Popular Kose Sekkisui Products - Popular Beauty Souvenirs from Japan
Sekkisui White Washing Cream
       Did you know that Sekkisui (雪肌粋) and Sekkisei (雪肌精) are sister brands? Kose and 7-Eleven have created Sekkisui, an affordable skin care products. You can purchase Sekkisui products at 7-Eleven convenience stores in Japan.




No.9   5 Best Japanese Eyebrow Makeup Products
Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Eyebrow
       Japanese eyebrow makeup gives you perfect natural look. If you have black or brown hair, you should try Japanese one. I'm currently using KATE Designing Eyebrow I purchased in Japan and really love it.




No.10   4 Best Japanese Anti-Aging Creams And Serums
Pola Anti Wrinkle Serum
        I've often seen Pola Wrinkle Shot Medical Serum in many Japanese beauty magazines. It has been very popular and won many beauty awards in Japan.

Kao Bab woody Bath Salt
        Regardless of age and sex, people in Japan take a bath every single night before sleeping.




No.12   Best Japanese Hair Growth Products from Shiseido
Shiseido Adenovital Vital Scalp Essence V
       In Japan, Shiseido Adenovital series have so many positive reviews. I'm not sure if it really works for you, but some Japanese people have noticed that it reduces hair loss and their hair is stronger and thicker than before.




No.13   Top 3 Best Japanese Double Eyelid Glue/Tape Products
Royal Petit Eyem
     If you have monolids and look for the best double eyelid glue/tape products, this entry will help you.
