Introducing Popular Sunscreen Creams Available at Drugstores in Japan!
This summer, Japan is experiencing a fierce heat wave, so it's important to take proper measures to prevent sunburn. When visiting a store, we can see many types of sunscreen for sale, but it's difficult to know which one to choose. That's why I'd like to introduce some popular products listed in "@cosme". This is a well-known website dedicated to word-of-mouth reviews of cosmetics sold in Japan.
Introducing 3 Favorite Sunscreen Creams
Let me introduce these sunscreens in the order of their ranking on the cosme word-of-mouth site.
The items I'll discuss in this article are types that can be used on the entire body, even as a makeup base on the face!
In addition, all 3 items are waterproof, so they can be used safely because they're resistant to sweat and water! The fact that they can easily be washed off with soap is another reason you'll love them!
