Sun Protection Tip #1: Be sure to apply your sunscreen products at least 20 minutes before heading into the sun/outdoors. UV rays mainly influence tanning, sunburn, skin damage and ageing while IR is linked to adverse heat effects on skin (inflammation), oxidative DNA damage and skin ageing. Not-so-fun Sun Fact #1: You may be no stranger to the term “sun damage”, but do you know exactly how it affects your skin? The solar spectrum is made up of radiation of various wavelengths, and these manifest in a range of skin effects. It helps prevent cell damage and reduces the effects of sun-induced skin ageing – a problem prevalent in tropical weather climates such as Singapore. Daylong SPF 50+ Face & Body Gel – SGD$32.90ĭaylong offers all-around protection with its formulations that have advanced filters that are clinically-proven to not only provide advanced ultraviolet (UV) protection but also protection from infrared radiation (IR). Since then, I’ve had a deep-seated trust in the brand – I’ve never had to worry about having an adverse reaction to their products, and this is one to add to the pack (Daylong is a brand from the same makers of Cetaphil). This is because it was the first brand to help bring my then-hormonal skin under control during the turbulent years of puberty, where the numerous mountainous spots and zits (on the face, body and even my jawline all the way down my neck – eeks!) were brought under control with their Gentle Skin Cleanser. The brand Cetaphil has always had a place in my heart, despite being exposed to hundreds of beauty brands in my many years as a journalist.
