Essential step to prevent? SUNSCREEN!! 

 

No doubt, the first line to defense is to always start with a well-formulated sunscreen. Compare with the skin under our clothes, it is smoother and clear, as the UV ray never reach them. An ideal sunscreen is not just giving enough protection but also repair. But of course, it is a matter of price concern. If you do not have enough budget, a basic sunscreen above SPF35 is recommended in Singapore. 

 

SPF(Sun Protection Factor) is a measure of "How long a sunscreen remains effective on skin". Do not apply the highest SPF on skin first as you do not need that long period of protection. Secondly, the higher the spf is, the higher the chances of sensitive skins and clogged pores too.
