Best Sunscreens for Oily Skin in the Philippines (2025 Update)

Because walang glow up kung sunog ang mukha, bes!

Hello mga beshies! 🌞

Let’s be real — living in the Philippines = living under intense sun exposure. Kahit pa nasa loob ka lang ng bahay or naka-commute sa FX, the UV rays are always there chika-ing your skin. Kaya kahit oily pa ang skin mo, you STILL need sunscreen.

Pero gets ko, mahirap talagang humanap ng SPF na hindi greasy, hindi malagkit, at hindi magpapakinang sa mukha mo like lechon sa fiesta. Kaya today, ishare ko sa inyo ang updated list ng Best Sunscreens for Oily Skin in the Philippines (2025 Edition!) — tried, tested, and loved by Filipinas (and oily-skin beshies) like you and me!

✔ Reapply every 2–3 hours if you're outside (yes, besh, need talaga!)

Hindi excuse ang oily skin to skip SPF, okay? 🙅‍♀️ In fact, oily skin needs protection even more, lalo na if you’re prone to acne, hyperpigmentation, or early signs of aging.

In 2025, napakaraming affordable, lightweight, and locally-available sunscreens na perfect for our weather. So no more excuses! Protect your glow and fight sun damage daily.

My Minimalist Skincare Routine That Still Delivers Results

My Minimalist Skincare Routine That Still Delivers Results Because less really can be more. I used to think that more was always better when it came to skincare. More serums, more steps, more products. I fell deep into the rabbit hole of 10-step routines, weekly exfoliations, and trying every hyped-up product on my feed. At one point, I had a drawer full of skincare—but ironically, my skin wasn’t happy. Breakouts? Check. Redness? Check. That dull, tired look that no amount of serum could fix? Absolutely. And that’s when I realized: maybe, just maybe, I was doing too much . So I did something kind of radical. I stopped. I paused all the layering, all the experimenting. I gave my skin a break—and I went minimalist. Surprisingly? That’s when the healing began. Why I Chose to Simplify This isn’t just about decluttering my bathroom counter or saving money (though that definitely happened, too). This was about listening to my skin . There was one night—I remember it clearly—I was st...

How Water Changed My Life—Inside and Out

How Water Changed My Life—Inside and Out I used to be the kind of person who could go half a day without a single sip of water. Coffee? Yes. Milk tea? Always. But plain water? I barely touched it unless I was extremely thirsty. And guess what? My skin hated me for it. I remember staring at myself in the mirror one morning, wondering why my face looked dull, my lips were always chapped, and I kept getting random breakouts despite using all these expensive skincare products. I was investing in serums and creams but ignoring the most basic thing my body had been asking for all along— water . That moment sparked a turning point in my wellness journey. What started as a small challenge—“Let’s try drinking 8 glasses a day for a week”—turned into a total lifestyle shift. And let me tell you, water isn’t just good for your skin; it’s life-changing for your entire body. Let me take you through what I’ve learned and experienced along the way. Water: Our Body’s Quiet Hero Our body is arou...

How I Cleared My Acne in 30 Days – My Step-by-Step Routine Hi beshies! 🌸 Grabe, hindi ko in-expect na darating yung araw na masasabi kong “clear skin” na ako. Just a month ago, nagba-breakout ako ng bongga—halos buong forehead and cheeks ko punong-puno ng inflamed pimples, whiteheads, at maskne. I was losing confidence, lalo na kapag kailangan kong mag-zoom meetings or lalabas with friends. But now, 30 days later , iba na ang glow up! I wanted to share with you my honest skincare journey , kung paano ko talaga na-clear yung acne ko. This isn’t a sponsored post (though, manifesting soon! 😂), this is me sharing what truly worked— trial and error, patience, and the right routine. So kung ikaw din ay struggling with breakouts right now, hug muna kita . I hope my story gives you hope and maybe even a few tips you can try for yourself. My Skin Situation Before (Context muna, besh!) I have combination skin – oily sa T-zone, dry sa cheeks. Nagstart ang acne ko mga January pa lang, per...

My First Time Trying a Chemical Peel at Home – Before & After

My First Time Trying a Chemical Peel at Home – Before & After “Nakakatakot pero worth it?!” – My real experience, besh. Hi mga ka-Skin Diary! 👋🏼 This post is all about my first ever at-home chemical peel experience . Totoo ba talaga ‘yung glass skin effect after peeling? Masakit ba? Safe ba siya gawin sa bahay? At ano ang before and after results ko? If you’ve ever been curious but scared to try chemical peels, let me share my story — no filter, no sugarcoating. Let’s go! 📌 First of All, What is a Chemical Peel? A chemical peel is a treatment where you apply a chemical solution (usually acids like AHA, BHA, or TCA) to your skin to exfoliate the top layer . Ang goal nito ay tanggalin ang dull, damaged skin to reveal a smoother, clearer, and more glowing layer underneath. Marami na ngayong mild, at-home versions available — unlike the deep peels na clinic-level. I used a 30% AHA + 2% BHA solution (the red serum na viral) for my first try. 🤔 Why I Tried It To be hon...
