The rainy season is almost over and we feel our skin is burning under the sun. If you don’t want to get tanned like many women in Japan, you need to get a good sunscreen lotion. Around this time of the year, you see many sunscreen lotions are sold in drag stores and you might have no idea about what to buy. We did the entire research for the best sunscreen lotions selling in Japan and came out with the answer. Today, we are going to review two sunscreen lotions from Sekkisui.

Sekkisui is a sister brand of Sekkisei, one of the most famous whitening skin care line sold from Kose, a leading cosmetic company in Japan. Sekkisui is a collaborated line made by Seven Eleven and Kose, thus the products from the line is sold at Seven Eleven in Japan.



Sold in Two Types
There are two kind of sunscreen lotions are available; gel type and milk type. Both are powerful with SPF 50+ PA++++ so they are strong enough to protect your skin like an armer. Both items are for face and body. They have an excellent skin care effect with Japanese herb essentials and jojoba oil infused inside and those keep the skin moisturized. It says that you can also use them as makeup primer. With their moisturized effect, they heighten the effect of keeping makeup without coming off during the day but blending well in your skin.

However the difference between those two are where and when you want to use them. The gel type is lighter and less damage to your skin thus better to use them in a daily basis while the milk type is waterproof and the lotion is not coming off by water and sweat so this one is good when you goes on a pool and beach, or outdoor events and daily run where you get sweat. Thus it is ideal to get both and utilize each depending on where to go.



After trying out both two lotions, they both are super light and blend well in the skin. The gel type looks a bit thicker though they are actually light that you will literally forget that you put the lotion on your skin.

A few minutes after applying to the skin, the reviewers noticed that the lotion is so light that they don’t feel anything unlike other sunscreen lotions that is usually thick and sticky.



The milk type lotion is also light and easy to apply in a liquid form.



Even though it is waterproof, it is also not greasy like other regular waterproofed sunscreens you only feel your skin gets moisturized. (which is good!)



Since they are made to sell in Seven Eleven. Even though they are a sister brand of luxurious skincare brand, they are affordable and sold 700 yen each. Thus they can be your best friend over summer.
