Let’s be real — some mornings I barely have time for skincare, let alone makeup. But lately, I’ve been cheating a little. Not with filters, but with a game-changing product that’s giving me that “lit-from-within” glow — all while protecting my skin from the harsh Malaysian sun.

Let’s be real — some mornings I barely have time for skincare, let alone makeup. But lately, I’ve been cheating a little. Not with filters, but with a game-changing product that’s giving me that “lit-from-within” glow — all while protecting my skin from the harsh Malaysian sun.

✨ No white cast. No greasiness. No heavy feeling.
The texture is what sold me — it feels like a weightless essence that melts right in. No stickiness, no shine, and best of all, no weird clumping under makeup. And if you’re someone with sensitive skin like me, you’ll love that it’s mineral oil-free, paraben-free, and allergy tested. My skin felt calm and hydrated, never irritated.

Enter: Sunplay’s new Skin Aqua Tone-Up UV Essence (Blue).

The first time I tried it, I was skeptical. Could one product really deliver that bright, even-toned, no-makeup look andprotect me from the sun? Turns out… yes. With SPF50+ PA++++, this sunscreen offers powerful UVA and UVB protection, but what makes it extra special is its tone-up effect. Just one layer and my skin looks fresher, brighter, and a little more alive — like I slept 8 hours and drank all my water (even when I didn’t).

What I didn’t expect was how nourishing it would be. Packed with Hyaluronic Acid for hydration, Vitamin C for long-term brightening, and Cica Extract to soothe my skin, it’s basically skincare + suncare in one tube. Total win.

💦 Bonus? It’s water-resistant.
Perfect for beach days, hikes, or just sweating it out while running errands. I don’t feel like I’m melting, and I’m not reapplying every hour.

At RM65.90, available exclusively at Guardian, this little tube has earned a permanent spot in my bag. Whether I’m going makeup-free or using it as a brightening base, the Sunplay Skin Aqua Tone-Up UV Essence Blue gives me that radiant, no-filter-needed confidence — and in this heat, that’s priceless.
