I cannot stress enough the importance of sunscreen in my daily facial care routine. Especially now that the temperature in Singapore is heading south making the weather almost unbearable everyday, I can't imagine how much the heat and UV rays are damaging my skin each day.
Do you know that prolong exposure to the sun's UV rays can cause permanent damage to your skin like freckles, wrinkles, discolouration, sallowness, dryness and even premature skin ageing. Unlike acne and pimples which can be removed with time, these symptoms are like scars, almost impossible to remove once you get them. You can apply cream to lighten, laser or light treatment to reduce the pigmentation and fine lines, but they will most probably stay with you till old. So don't wait till it's too late!
The huge pigmentation together with freckles on my cheeks.
Biore UV Aqua Rich series of sunscreen has been one of my favourite picks because of its light and watery texture that blends and absorbs well into my skin, with a superior double UV block with its enhanced SPF 50+/PA++++. Put it simply, it is the best protection you can get against the harmful UVA and UVB rays from the sun!
Just a simple calculation on the coverage of SPF 50+/PA++++:
Sun Protection Factor 50
= 15mins x 50
= 750 mins of protection without getting burned
PA++++ (highest no. of + in the market)
= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
= 16 times protection strength against UVA rays
This watery gel product, a new addition to the series, is known to brightens and whitens skin for a glowing appearance. See how watery it is?
What's more, this is great as a make up base. I know many girls would think their bb cream/foundation has SPF and is adequate protection for the day. But many foundation and cream has minimum protection and may have a high SPF but a lower PA. In any case, no harm for double protection that whitens and brightens your skin, right?
Blends easily and feels really light weight!
On days when I don't feel like putting my BB cream, all I do is to apply this sunscreen and pat some loose powder to matt my face a little. So this is great for ladies who are not fans of make-up and cosmetic products. Non-greasy and sticky like what sunscreen used to feel like.
What's more, this blend of sunscreen is infused with hyaluronic acid and citrus extract to keep skin hydrated and healthy throughout the day.
I have tried many different brands of sunscreen, and out of the few good ones which I've kept for frequent use, this is the most value for money at only $18.90 for a 90ml bottle. Available at all leading pharmacies, supermarkets, departmental stores and beauty stores.
