Fact: Every skin doctor will tell you that one of the most important skincare product you should use daily is a sunscreen. It protects the skin against damaging UV rays as well as external environmental aggressors that can accelerate ageing.

More importantly, sunscreen should be worn every single day. And yes, that includes cloudy and rainy days or even when you’re staying in.

Fortunately, these award-winning formulas are perfect for all outdoor and indoor activities, so you won’t need to fret about finding the right one to meet your needs. 

Best Sunscreen: Supergoop Every Single Face SPR-Shield Watery Lotion SPF50, $52

1/2

Why it won: Its name says it all. The Supergoop Every Single Face SPR-Shield Watery Lotion SPF50 is for everyone and for everyday use. With its lightweight texture sans white cast, it’s perfect for protecting the skin whilst combating Singapore’s heat and humidity. Besides its high SPF50 properties, it’s also able to repair skin damage, lock in hydration and even out skin tone with its amino acid complex and niacinamide (vitamin B3). Also protects against blue light pollution and infra-red damage too.

“I used this a lot when I’m out in the sun because I knew it’d stay on despite the sweat. It’s so lightweight, you’d hardly feel like you have anything on. I likened it to second skin that protected my skin from everything – UVA, UVB, blue light and even pollution!” – Munah Bagharib, actress and host 

Best Sunscreen (Readers’ Choice): Shiseido Urban Environment Triple Beauty Suncare Emulsion SPF50/PA++++, $68

2/2

Why it won: A skin-loving sunscreen, the Shiseido Urban Environment Triple Beauty Suncare Emulsion SPF50/PA++++ not only protects against damaging UV rays but is also able to control excess sebum, hydrate the skin and even address signs of ageing. Its secret? Taking inspiration from how plants photosynthesize, a spirulina energy essence works to turn sunlight into beneficial light to target fine lines and wrinkles. Plus, it comes with a silky texture that applies easily and leaves complexion soft and smooth.

“With a lightweight oil-free formula, this sunscreen also offered a lit-from-within glow – similar to a brightening primer, upon application. It had a silky feel and left my skin moisturised without feeling like my pores were clogged.” – Letty Seah, associate beauty editor
