Summer’s here, have you got your hands on Strokes’ UV Veil Priming Sunscreen already?
Let's be real: summer in the Philippines is no joke. By this time, we're all frantically searching for ways to look good while not melting into puddles under that intense sunshine. If you're tired of your makeup sliding off before lunch or dealing with that dreaded sunscreen white cast, look no further than Strokes Beauty Lab’s UV Veil Priming Sunscreen.
Trust us, it's about to become your summer ride-or-die and here’s why:
Three products in one bottle? Yes, please!
Who has time for a ten-step routine when your aircon is barely keeping up with the heat? This little gem combines your sunscreen, primer, and skin enhancer in one bottle. That's right. You get SPF 35 protection, makeup-gripping powers, and a subtle tone-up effect that makes your skin look naturally filtered. Morning routine shortened by precious minutes that you can spend in front of the fan? Yes, please!
The formula remains the same: feels like nothing on your skin, seriously, it's so lightweight you might double-check if you actually applied anything. But the velvety finish tells no lies as your pores look smaller, your fine lines are doing that magical disappearing act, and your face has this gorgeous soft-focus effect.
"But Will It Work In Our Weather?"
We hear you. We've all been burned (literally and figuratively) by products claiming to withstand our tropical climate. The UV Veil Priming Sunscreen was practically made for Philippine weather. It's completely oil-free and won't add to that sticky feeling we all know too well when stepping outside for even five minutes.
Instead of turning your face into an oil slick by midday, this formula actually helps control shine while keeping your skin hydrated. It's that rare unicorn product that gives you a matte finish without making your face feel tight or dry.
A Shade For Everyone|
Strokes Beauty Lab gets us. We’re offering three options that actually make sense for Filipino skin:
"Milk" is like your favorite filter in a bottle—it brightens and blurs without making you look ashy.
"Rosette" gives your skin a fresh, awake vibe with subtle rosy undertones that work beautifully on cooler complexions.
"Apricot" is a dream for those with warm and olive skin tones (basically, most of us!), it enhances your natural glow without looking orange.
Skincare That Does Double-Duty
The coolest part? While it's protecting your skin from the sun, it's also treating it with ingredients you'd normally find in your fancy serums. There's niacinamide to help with pores and uneven tone, hyaluronic acid for that plump, hydrated feel, and vitamin E to fight all those environmental nasties.
They've even thrown in aloe vera and cucumber extracts, which feel absolutely divine when the temperature starts climbing. It's like having a mini-cooling treatment every time you apply it.
How To Make It Work For You
On lazy days (or when it's just too hot to function), smooth this all over as your one-and-done product. It gives enough coverage to even out your skin tone without feeling like makeup.
Heading to the office? Use it under your foundation as it helps your makeup grip better and last longer through commutes and arctic office air conditioning.
Beach trip? Unlike most sunscreens that are a pain to reapply over makeup, this one pats on beautifully for touch-ups without disturbing what's underneath.
Our personal favorite hack: Mix a pump with your foundation to create a custom tinted sunscreen. It thins out heavy foundations perfectly for hot days when you want coverage but can't deal with anything too thick.
Summer in the Philippines demands products that multitask as hard as we do. This UV Veil Priming Sunscreen feels like it was created specifically for our climate, our skin tones, and our beauty struggles.
At a time when we're all trying to simplify our routines while still looking our best, Strokes Beauty Lab has given us a product that actually delivers on its promises. It protects, perfects, and primes—all without feeling like you've slathered your face in product.
So while we can't escape the summer heat, at least now we can face it looking flawless. Your skin (both now and ten years from now) will thank you.
