Prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays without proper protection can cause permanent effects such as premature skin ageing, wrinkles, discolouration etc. In extreme cases, skin cancer. However, a survey done in 2014 revealed that only 30% of the woman between aged 12- 49 years old apply sunscreen daily. The main reason behind this: Sticky, greasy feeling that sunscreen leaves behind.
**Tip: Sunscreen products are rated based on two systems: SPF & PA.
SPF rating determines the duration that your skin stays protected from UVB rays.
The calculation method is simple - SPF Rating x no. of minutes for skin to darken under sun = No. of minutes skin is protected from UVB rays. (Example, SPF50 x 20mins = 1000mins of protection from UVB (equivalent to 16 hours of protection)). A sunscreen with the rating of SPF50 is sufficient coverage, as it blocks up to 98 percent of UVB rays from penetrating into skin. Anything higher than a SPF50 rating compromises on the texture of the sunscreen, making it heavier and greasier when applied to skin.
PA rating shows how much protection you're receiving against UVA rays. Currently, the highest standard of PA protection in the industry is PA++++.

Product Review
Texture is more liquidy as compared to other sunscreens, which means it's easier to spread although I don't feel that it gives a completely dry and fresh after-feel. The product packaging is quite a huge bottle and while it may not be the best option to carry it around, this also means that it's value-for-money!
The new Bioré Aqua Rich Watery Gel retails at SGD18.90/ 90ml. Available at all leading pharmacies, super & hyper markets, departmental stores, beauty stores and selected minimarts. For more information on the products, do check out their website- http://www.kao.com/sg/
