The must-have products for radiant skin in sunny Singapore
Fair and glowing all day long

Want an even-toned, fair complexion? Then a good sunscreen is a must-have. They protect your complexion from harmful UV rays, which not only cause your skin to tan, but also results in dark spots. And if that’s not enough, sunblocks also prevent premature ageing so your complexion stays youthful for longer.

However, in a humid climate like Singapore, an extra skincare step can feel heavy on the skin. So we picked out the best sunscreens that feel weightless and blend effortlessly so you barely feel as if you have anything at all, but still retain a high protection level of protection so you don’t have to worry about sun damage or dark spots.

When the going gets tough (read: wetter), the protection strength of the refreshing gel-textured sunscreen goes up almost 24 per cent.

How it works: The negative ions in its formulation attract and bond with minerals in water and perspiration (the positive ions), creating a stronger and tighter layer that’s better able to protect against the rays.
