Importance & Benefit of Applying Sunscreen

Ensuring Long-Term Skin Health

Protecting your skin is vital in Singapore, where high levels of UV radiation can increase the risk of skin cancer. Sunscreens defend against both UVA rays, which contribute to aging, and UVB rays, the primary cause of sunburn. Consistent use also safeguards against photosensitivity, supporting your skin's long-term well-being.

Ensuring Healthy Looking Appearance

Sun protection is key to maintaining a youthful complexion. By preventing premature aging caused by sun damage, regular sunblock application helps in reducing the formation of sunspots and hyperpigmentation, contributing to a more even and healthy-looking appearance.

How to Choose the Right Sunscreen

Selecting the ideal sunscreen in Singapore involves several key considerations to ensure optimal protection and suit your needs.

Choose the Right SPF 

For everyday defence against the Singapore sun, an SPF of 30 is generally recommended. If you plan on extended outdoor activities, especially under intense sunlight, consider an SPF 50 or higher for enhanced protection.

Consider Your Skin Type and Concern

If you have oily or acne-prone skin, opt for an oil-free and non-comedogenic sunscreen to avoid clogged pores. These often come in lighter textures like gels or fluids. For dry skin, a moisturizing sunscreen with cream or lotion textures can provide added hydration. Those with sensitive skin should choose fragrance-free, mineral-based sunscreens containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, as these are typically less irritating.

Select Texture 

  • Lotions: Offer good coverage and are suitable for most skin types.
  • Creams: Typically richer and ideal for drier skin.
  • Gels: Lightweight and quickly absorbed, often preferred as a skin product for oily skin.
  • Sticks: Convenient for targeted application, especially on the face.
  • Sprays: Easy to apply over larger areas, but ensure even coverage.

Check for Water Resistance

For activities in the water or those that may cause heavy sweating, a water-resistant or sports sunscreen is recommended. Remember that even water-resistant formulas require regular reapplication to maintain their effectiveness.

How to Apply Sunscreen?

Begin with clean, dry skin, applying your sunscreenas the last step before makeup. Take a generous amount and spread it evenly across your face and all exposed skin, including often-missed areas like ears, neck, andback of hands. Gently massage for full coverage and allow it to absorb completely before going outdoors. For consistent protection, reapply yoursunblock every two hours and more often if sweating or swimming. Remember, daily application is crucial, even indoors in Singapore, as UV rays can penetrate glass.

Frequently Asked Questions About Paula’s Choice Sunscreen

What is the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen?

Mineral sunscreens contain natural minerals such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which act as physical barriers to reflect and scatter UV rays. Chemicalsunscreens, also known as syntheticsunscreens, absorb UV rays and convert them into heat. Both types provide effective sun protection for your face, and the choice depends on personal preference and skin compatibility.

Do I need to use a separate moisturizer if my sunscreen already has moisturizing properties?

Many of our sunscreen formulations include moisturizing properties, making a separate moisturizer often unnecessary. However, applying a light moisturizer before sunscreen on your face can provide additional hydration for drier skin.

Can I wear makeup over my sunscreen?

Yes, you can apply makeup after your sunscreenhas fully absorbed. Opting for lightweight, non-comedogenic makeup will help maintain effective sun protection throughout the day in Singapore's climate.
