A unique formulation that ensures your skin is protected while at the same time delivers colour-correct skin tone that keeps you looking confident under the sun.
Do you know? Sunscreen is your first line of defence against sun damage that causes dark spots, pigmentation, dehydrated skin and premature ageing. In Malaysia where is it almost always sunny, sunscreen has become part of our daily skincare regime. However, sunscreen these days do more than screen the sun, but also offers the nourishing and beauty benefits like other skincare products.

Sunplay is Japan’s popular sunscreen brand, and the new Sunplay Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence and Spray is poised to fulfil the desire of consumers who seek sunscreen that not only offers optimum protection from the harmful UV rays but at the same time, gives the skin a healthy glow with its colour-correct primer. Say bye bye to the colourless, dull looking skin as a result of using conventional sunscreens, as Sunplay Skin Aqua Tone Up comes with a lavender tint to help reduce yellow undertones, brighten the complexion, conceal skin imperfections, and create a naturally translucent complexion for an insta-ready look!
Let’s break it down!
Design 5/5
What makes this product an Instagrammable worth is a mermaid, unicorn-ish packaging colour to it. Brings you back to a fantasy world. The blue and pink hues represent the combination of blue and pink tints in the formula—and hence the resulting lavender tone.
It contains lavender tint to colour correct skin tone, strobe pearl powder to brighten dull skin and skincare ingredients for a clearer and supple skin.
Touch and smell 5/5
There are two ways to go about this product, one is through the Spray Beauty Sunscreen and another is the SunPlay Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence. This Japan brand’s ultra-lightweight and all the beautiful fragrance wrapped into one doesn’t overpower the product itself. The smell is something that’s not too strong nor is it sweet. It doesn’t give the effect of a greasy feel like normal sunscreen do. Leaves your skin feeling soft and refreshed too. Due to its lightweight features, the materials absorbs quickly into skin for an invisible feel on the skin. It’s your go-to everyday sunscreen for gorgeous skin.

Application Usage 4.5/5
As for the spray, it works at any angle. All you gotta do is to shake 4 to 5 times and spray at least 10-15 cm away from the skin. Spread evenly by hand on face and spray onto palm before patting on. Reapply regularly especially after sweating or towelling dry to ensure maximum effectiveness. To remove, wash and rinse throughout with soap.
For the essence itself, apply the sunscreen evenly over face and body. Replace cap immediately after use too.

I love that it’s accessible for me to use the spray sunscreen that can fit into my bag. Not only is it efficient, but it colour corrects and brightens my complexion for a natural looking skin so I don’t have to worry about getting sunburned. The fact that it is water resistant and provides a clear and supple skin for me is why I’m so in love with the Sunplay Skin Aqua Tone Up UV.

Upon using the Sunplay Skin Aqua, my skin looks brighter and more luminous. I felt a fresher and smoother skin when I apply it every day. Let’s not forget the lavender colour design on the package that is super Instagrammable. Perfect for my daily use and for travelling. I would highly recommend this product to ensure you have an amazing skincare routine because sunblocks are an important foundation.
