Given the abundance of sunshine and high temperatures all year round in Malaysia, using a 2-in-1 foundation with sun protection is a tempting solution in terms of costs and convenience. However, many of these products made for seasonal markets with varying daylight hours, tend to have SPF of 15-25. For countries situated near the Equator and with many women’s desire to be fair SPF 15-25 is not enough. Some brands offer higher SPF foundations, but the texture tends to be thicker and heavier.

Solutions to the above includes:

1 Using a high SPF (50 or higher) sunscreen under a foundation with SPF 15-25

2 Using a high SPF (50 or higher) sunscreen with a foundation without SPF

Here are the 5 Best Foundations without SPF Available in Malaysia:
