10 sunscreens that Singapore beauty experts use

Protect your complexion from the harsh sun with these sunscreens – highly recommended by our local beauty insiders.

by Joie Goh  /   April 5, 2019

Exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays is one of the biggest causes of skin ageing and damage, but many women still resist wearing sunscreen, and it’s understandable.

After all, sunscreens have a bad rep. Traditional formulas tend to be thick and greasy, and can be difficult to apply on the skin evenly, leaving makeup looking patchy.

Some even have an obvious, mask-like white cast, no matter how much effort is put into blending them in, while others aren’t suitable for oily skin, causing clogged pores and breakouts.

If you’re not sure where to start shopping, look no further than this list from our Singapore-based beauty experts.
