Did you know that itchy (no, not from mosquito or insect bites!) and tight skins are just some of the signs that you have sun damaged skin? Well, I didn’t know any of this until recently. And my skin is just that – itchy and tight!
My sun damaged skin must have been accumulated through my teen years, when I was on the netball team. I would play under the blazing sun sans sun block. I never enjoyed applying stuff on my body because most creams and serums out there tend to leave some oiliness behind. Even till this day, the most I would do is to open an umbrella for some shelter – and only because I want to protect Nakayla from the unforgiving sun.
But since I’m not getting any younger (we never are, are we?), it’s about time I take measures to prolong my youth, and hopefully undo the damage (that’s possible, right?) before I regret entirely.
So, what am I going to do? I’m going to embark on a 14 days challenge using NIVEA Body UV Whitening Serum with SPF25.
I’ve tried doing a similar challenge on my own, but I never get past the second or third day. It doesn’t help that I also have two little ones and a house to care for (although, I must admit that the husband does help out a lot). But, with me putting it out there that I am taking up this challenge, I should be able to persevere to the end this time round! Scratch that – ‘I should be able to’ must be changed to ‘I will’. I know I will complete the 14 challenge. I really will!
Let’s start with Day 1 right now!
The aromatic flora scent surrounded me the moment I squeeze the tube. It’s simply lovely. Thankfully, I didn’t use too much strength to squeeze the tube, cos the whitening serum was very fluid and smooth.
I first applied the whitening serum on my arms, followed by my legs. Before I even applied it, I was actually preparing myself to feel sticky for the rest of the day.
Surprisingly, I didn’t feel much after applying. I even did housework after – which made me perspired quite a bit, but I still didn’t feel sticky from the application of the cream!
By the time I was done applying the whitening serum on my legs, I could barely feel any signs of the whitening serum on my arms! Amazing!
I didn’t apply any on my feet, so I’ll be using that to compare at the end of day 14!
I have now taken the first step in protecting my skin, and now, I cannot wait till the end of the 14 day challenge to see the results!
