You’ve seen it, you’ve felt it. Singapore is experiencing an unprecedented level of heat as we move towards the warmer months of the year. However, according to a study by researchers at the NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health and National Skin Centre, only 23.9% use sunscreen! As one of the main causes of skin cancer is from UV rays, sunscreen should be regarded as an important skin protection product instead of a beauty product in sunny Singapore! Whether you’re heading out for daily walks, hopping on a bike or heading for a beach vacation to boost your Vitamin D intake, save your skin from the sun’s harmful rays by choosing the right product for you.  

Sunscreen Fun Facts

UVA vs UVB: What’s the difference?

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is part of the natural energy produced by the sun. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation is also a major risk factor for sun-damaged skin.

Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays are known as ageing rays that are absorbed deeper into your skin and darken your skin. It damages the collagen and elastin in the skin causing almost all forms of wrinkles.

Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays are known as burning rays that damage the top layer of your skin cells and are the key reason for causing sunburn and even blistering.  Did you know that unprotected exposure to UVA and UVB damages the DNA in your skin cells, possibly leading to skin cancer? Artistry SPF products use Broad Spectrum Protection Formula that effectively protects against both UVA and UVB.  

Did you know that the number on SPF indicates how long it would take for the sun’s UV rays to make your skin red? This means that if you use a SPF30 sunscreen, it would take 30 times longer for your skin to get burned!

What is the real difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50?

SPF30 blocks 97% of UV rays whereas SPF50 blocks 98% of UV rays. Although nothing blocks 100% of the sun’s harmful rays every percent counts!  

*Remember to reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours when you are outside and more frequently when you are swimming or sweating.
