We all know how important sunscreen is in our beauty routine (be gone, sun damage!) but some of us don’t like that sticky after-feel that some sunscreens or sunblock has. The good news? Spray-on sunscreens are now available on the market.

These have a one-up on convenience when it comes to their cream and stick counterparts. Of course, it’s only as effective as the amount you put on your face. If you don’t like the way typical sunscreen creams feel on your skin or the repetitive motion of having to rub it into your skin with your hands, then spray-on sunscreens are the alternative to your skincare routine. 

Every dermatologist and beauty expert will wax poetic about the importance of wearing sunscreen daily, even if you’re indoors. In case you needed the reminder, wearing sunscreen daily helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays and environmental pollutants, slows down signs of ageing, and even decreases the risk for skin cancer.

Here are 15 spray-on sunscreens that are lightweight and perfect for Singapore’s humidity. Plus, its spray function makes it easy for re-application whenever you need a little more.
