I still remember when I was in secondary school; I was pretty much against using cosmetics. I had my reservations as I heard that makeup is bad for our skin and will create more skin troubles.

Have you had these worries as well?

Well, this is because we often forgo or unaware of the very 1st step in applying make-up, which is the Pre-Makeup Base!

You might feel that it doesn’t give any direct benefits, i.e. no coverage. But this is an important step that all of us should follow.

The fundamental uses of a pre-makeup base is to hold your makeup and act as a protective layer. And of course, it comes with additional benefits too!

For Ettusais pre-makeup base, it is called Medicated Acne Whitening UV and it’s loaded with lots of benefits for our skin!

1. Sunscreen Properties – SPF24 PA++
2. Combats acne and prevents breakouts
3. Smooth our complexion for better application of foundation
4. Lighten acne scars and freckles
5. Even out and brighten up skin tone
6. Lightweight formula – suitable for sensitive or oily skin type
7. Helps our makeup to last longer through the day

Medicated Acne Whitening UV is available in both oil and dry block.

Dry Block formula is ideal for dry/dehydrate skin types. It hydrates the skin and prevents shine with AC control oil. It comes in a tube with a creamy texture. Don’t be taken back by the thick creamy look. It’s amazingly lightweight when you apply it onto your skin!

Oil Block formula is suitable for oily/combination skin types. The oil-free formula not only keeps the skin moisturized, fresh and matte, it also helps in sebum and sweat absorption. It comes in a bottle form with a watery texture. It feels almost like nothing when I apply it on my skin!

I had the Dry Block all along and I was given the Oil Block to try out. For me, I use the Dry Block on my cheeks to keep it moisturized and Oil Block on my forehead to keep the shine level controlled. And most importantly, it protects my skin and helps to keep my Zero Pore Pact foundation last longer!
