Hey besties! Sunscreen is a non-negotiable step in any skincare routine, and Japanese sunscreens are famous for being lightweight, effective, and suitable for sensitive skin.

Today, I’m sharing two of my favorite budget-friendly Japanese sunscreens that keep skin protected without feeling heavy or greasy!

1. Bioré UV Watery Essence

- True to its name, this sunscreen has a watery and ultra-lightweight texture that blends effortlessly.

- Perfect for wearing under makeup as it doesn’t leave a white cast (works well on medium skin tones).

- Contains a small amount of fragrance, but the newer version has a lighter scent and lower content, making it gentle on sensitive skin.

2. Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Gel

- Lightweight, watery texture similar to Bioré, making it easy to apply and comfortable on the skin.

- Semi-matte finish that works well for oily or combination skin.

- Sweat- and water-resistant, ideal for long days or outdoor activities.

- Gentle on the skin and doesn’t clog pores or trigger breakouts.

Both Bioré UV Watery Essence and Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Gel are excellent options for anyone looking for affordable, lightweight, and effective sun protection. Bioré is perfect for a soft, makeup-friendly finish, while Skin Aqua offers a semi-matte feel for oily skin. Either way, both keep your skin safe and comfortable under the sun!
