The actual test of \u003ca href\u003d\"https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.hzjz6?cc\"\u003eHeliocare\u003c/a\u003e came when I went to Shangri-La Boracay last weekend. I applied it on days when I spent a lot of time under the sun, and it protected me all throughout. I'm not as red compared to the beach days of long ago when I used another sunscreen brand. There's also a Heliocare SPF 50 formulation for people who feels that SPF 70 is too much.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThe only problem I have with Heliocare is the scent. I generally don't like creams or gels with fragrance. Heliocare, unfortunately, has a solid vanilla-like smell that I prefer to avoid. BUT it's something that I can live with. The price is also a concern since a 50ml tube is Php 2,500 ($56.50 USD). A tube can last \u003cstrike\u003e2 - 3 months\u003c/strike\u003e, 8 - 9 months of daily use.

Well - I actually have rosy cheeks but it's not a \"healthy glow\" - much to my disappointment. A consultation with Belo Medical Clinic last year confirmed that I have Rosacea [\"roh-ZAY-sha\"]. Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness in the face and it often produce these nasty bumps called papules which cannot be treated by the usual facial. Rosacea doesn't have any cure but it can be managed with proper care. Red \"flare ups\" are usually triggered by sun exposure, emotional stress, hot beverages/soups, alcohol, and even spicy food.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nI am not too concerned about the red flare-ups but I am very much irritated-annoyed-sad about the bumpy papules and pustules that also came with Rosacea.
