Protection Against The Sun!

Block Out the Rays

Ultraviolet rays penetrate our skin and bring about pigmentation, thus causing dark and uneven skin tones. On more severe situations, your skin may even encounter dark spots, sunburnt or worse, skin cancer. Understand what you can do to avoid causing more harm to your skin!

Right Those Wrongs!

Blunder 1: I only wear sunscreen or sun block lotion when I exercise outdoors.
Truth: The moment you step out of your house, you are exposed to sunlight and harmful UV rays. You ought to rub sun block lotion on every time you come into contact with sunlight. Choose one with SPF 15 or above.

Blunder 2: Sun block lotions are too oily for my skin. I tend to skip them when i have to put on make-up.
Truth: Choose those that are oil-free. In fact, sun block lotions make very good moisturizing make-up base, so you can actually apply them before putting on make-up to both protect against sunrays and maintain skin hydration.

Blunder 3: To protect my skin, I usually apply sun block lotion generously onto my body and face.
Truth: Do not apply sun block lotion meant for your body onto your face, as the skin on your face is more sensitive and requires a special formulation different from that of your normal sunscreen. Choose your sun block lotions with care.

Blunder 4: I love a good tan, so i do not put on any sunscreen or body lotion when i enjoy the sun.
Truth: You can suntan safely and healthily by using a good suntan lotion. A pre-scrub before sun tanning also helps you to achieve a more even tan. A good tan can even help to deflect harmful ultraviolet rays from your skin! Do remember to protect your skin before going under the sun.

Blunder 5: My sun block skincare regime is done once i wear sunscreen lotion.
Truth: The after-jobs of maintaining a healthy skin are also very important. After removing make-up and washing your face with cleanser thoroughly, get into your normal skincare routine of applying the toner and moisturizer. Best use with whitening skincare range of products to eliminate possibilities of blemishes.
