make p:rem UV defense me. Calming sun stick

Product Rundown

make p:rem's UV defense me. Calming sun stick is a part of their 'UV defense me.' line of products, all of which are designed to help provide effective protection against UV rays!

Since I said 'line of products', you might be wondering... what makes this Calming Sun Stick special? Why would I possibly care?

Well, let me tell you why.

• Comes in a convenient solid stick form. Which means it's great for taking around with you, without the risk or worries about causing a mess by spillage.
• The soft, silky texture and the matte finish makes it great for a pseudo-primer. It isn't squeezed out and applied like some other types of sunscreen, but this stick still goes on quite nicely. The light and carefully made formulation make it go on great, too!
• It boasts a very good SPF 50+ PA++++ rating. There isn't necessarily wrong with a lower strength sunblock, so long as you use it properly, but why settle for less when you can get more? And quality stuff, at that!

Triple Function

And No Fuss.

This one product offers a number of benefits, including:

• The usage of non-nano (mineral, physical) UV Blockers
• The inclusion of calamine to impart a pink tone on your skin
• Great form factor that allows it to be easily used anywhere, anytime.

However, the proper usage of sunscreen requires application once every 2 hours at a minimum, or more frequently if you are under some pretty strong sun exposure. Still, this product is designed to do just that, and keep your skin nice and moisturized at the same time.

Physical (Non-Nano) UV Protection

Minimal Risk of Absorption

One of the main concerns with Sun Protection products these days include the fear of potential long-term risks that certain ingredients might have if they are absorbed through the skin, such as in the case of chemical (nano)-based sun protection products. While the general science supports the notion that the effect of UV protection outweighs any potential risks of using such products, regardless of the type of blocker used, those who want to take an extra step towards a safer option might be interested to know that this Sun Stick uses non-nano (physical, mineral) blockers only. Physical blockers generally work by reflecting UV rays from the skin, and the blocker themselves are generally too big to be easily absorbed by the skin.

If there is any potential downside to this, it's the fact that a physical layer of blocker may also bring about a slight level of white cast on the skin. The formulation used by this sun protection product makes it great to use as a primer, too, though!

Slight White Cast

Awesome Feel and Function

The process and ingredients used in the formulation of this sun stick help it glide on easily in a way that doesn't make the skin feel 'stuffy'. More than that, the physical protective layer used to provide the UV blocking effect also works like a primer on the skin, going on very lightly and with a matte finish.

UV Protection for those with Sensitive Skin, too!

UV Protection Products Need to be Re-applied Frequently...

...so making sure that your skin doesn't react badly to it is critically important. So what about the Calming sun stick? The answer is (generally) no! We say generally because its impossible to ensure it for every single person - its just not possible. But for the vast majority of the people out there, this cream will be just fine! make p:rem submits most of their products for dermatological evaluation to ensure that their products have the best effects possible for their customers. This product is no different.

Usage Tips

Nothing Special Really But....

Just a few things to keep in mind if you want to have an easier time with make p:rem's UV defense me. Calming sun stick:

Make sure you start working from the inside of your face outwards.

Why? Well, working from the outside inwards means the stick won't be able to 'finish' the application neatly. If you can manage it though, n thing wrong with that!

Don't 'reveal' or push up more than about 0.2 inches of the product at any time.

Why? A bad angle, too much pressure, or just bad luck might cause the product to break apart. And that would just not be cool. At all.
