Introducing SOLA Daily Screen SPF 50+/PA++++: Your Lightweight Sun Protection Solution for the Philippine Climate
Skin care has undeniably stolen the spotlight on social media, becoming a daily obsession on our feeds. Starting out on YouTube, these Skinfluencers have consistently helped shape the climate with every new skincare trend and product they champion. With their finger on the pulse of what's hot and what's not, it’s clear how Gen-Z has set the new benchmarks in beauty standards.
Whether you’re watching a TikTok reel on how to get that coveted Korean glass skin or striving for the porcelain doll-like look inspired by Sabrina Carpenter meets Pat McGrath's S24 runway aesthetics for Margiela, we've all fallen prey to purchasing products promising our desired results. But amid the abundance of lotions, potions and serums lining store shelves, one hero stands out: sunscreen.
The obsession with skincare isn't just a passing trend for the Gen-Z audience; it's a lifestyle choice deeply rooted in everyone’s aspiration for self-care and empowerment. Social media platforms have become virtual laboratories for users to dissect skincare routines. From Skinfluencer recommendations to dermatologist-approved products, the quest for flawless skin has never been more competitive, but at the same time—particularly for us content consumers—accessible and fun!
But why the fixation on sunscreen? Beyond the allure of a sun-kissed glow lies the unfortunate reality of sun damage. No thanks to the sun’s UV rays, those sneaky culprits responsible for premature aging and worse, skin cancer; the use of sunscreen has become a necessity. For a generation that values authenticity and longevity, protecting one's skin is more than a beauty regimen, it's a form of physical self-preservation.

Gone are the days when sunscreen was reserved for beach trips or dismissed by older generations as mere vanity if used daily. In today's era of skincare enlightenment, the narrative has shifted dramatically. We've come to understand that sunscreen isn't just for vacationing under the sun; it's a cornerstone of daily skin health.
But we have to remember the facts that as Filipinos living in a humid and hot country, choosing the right skincare to add to our regimen can prove to be challenging. Thankfully, SOLA—a beauty company fresh from the world’s number one beauty hub, South Korea—is making its mark in the Philippines and have made their line of sunscreen accessible and affordable!
If you’re like me and you dislike the heaviness of sunscreen, soon you won't have to worry. SOLA Daily Screen SPF 50+/PA++++ is a 2-in-1 moisturizing sunscreen, ideal for daily sun protection without the need for additional layers! It provides Broad Spectrum UV Protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Plus, as it’s a chemical sunscreen, it offers our skin’s needed protection without any white cast, making it your perfect companion for protected and smooth skin.
SOLA Daily Screen SPF 50+/PA++++ also features Glow-Boost Technology with Korean Black Ginseng for radiant skin, Niacinamide for an even complexion, and Hyaluronic Acid for moisture retention. It's designed to be lightweight with a demi-matte finish, perfect for the Philippine weather, ensuring quick absorption without irritation.
Our tropical climate simply demands a sunscreen that absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a sticky residue. Fast-absorbing formulas ensure you stay protected without feeling weighed down, allowing your skin to breathe comfortably even in the humidity. As sunscreens are essential for daily wear, choosing one that’s non-sticky can offer a seamless application that doesn't interfere with your daily skincare or makeup routine.Â
