I didn’t know that Elemis had cleansing balms until I started watching beauty videos on YouTube. Their cleansing balm comes very highly recommended and after watching one too many videos of its positive reviews, it piqued my interest so much that I wanted to buy this right away to try out.

It was a huge relief when Malaysian pharmacies like Watsons and Guardian started selling sunscreen from Japanese brands like Biore and Skin Aqua. Finally, sunscreens that are lightweight, non-greasy, doesn’t smell awful and are so easy to use! I like them so much that I don’t just use them on my face, I use them on my body as well.

It’s better to spend a little more on sunscreen to use all over the body than sticking to only thick body sunscreens that turn me off and not want to use them at all. That’s my sunscreen motto!
