Five best sunscreens for summer beauty queens
We highlight a couple of sunscreen products and their benefits, and we offer some general tips
Women know the benefits of putting on sunscreen: Research estimates that 80 to 90 per cent of visible signs of ageing (wrinkles, dark spots, rough skin ... ugh) comes not from the number of candles on your birthday cake but the hours you’ve spent under the sun.
There’s a general misconception that using sunscreen or other forms of sun protection would lead to vitamin D deficiency. However, dermatologists remind us that no matter how much sunscreen we use or how high the SPF, our skin will be exposed to some of the sun’s UV rays so we can always supplement our diet with vitamin D.
Shiseido Perfect UV Protector Hydro Fresh SPF 50+/PA ++++
What is it?
- The SuperVeil-UV 360™ technology creates a UV-protective veil that adheres evenly to the skin’s microscopic contours to prevent UV rays from penetrating at any angle.
- The WetForce technology binds the minerals in water or perspiration, adding power to the protective veil.
Why I like it:
- It won’t wear off when I am in and out of water during wakeboarding on weekends, and I don’t suffer from sunburn afterwards.
- It is Iight and won’t leave a white film on the face and neck.
- It is quickly absorbed by the skin and leaves a nice matte finish.
