how to protect skin from sun damage


Did you know that just like other parts of the body, our skin needs extra protection, too? It is the largest organ and the outermost cover of our bodies, so it is exposed to several harmful elements such as pollution and the sun’s rays. Applying sunscreen is one of the essential steps to protect the skin, but most only remember to add it to their skin care routine during the summer when it should be a must regardless of the season if you want healthy and glowing skin.

Sunscreen is also important since staying under the sun without protection can lead to sunspots (visible dark discolorations due to hyperpigmentation), rapid skin aging, scarring for those with photosensitive disorders, and sunburns and blisters. Skipping sunscreen can also bring out wrinkles because the ultraviolet rays (UV) can damage your skin’s connective tissues and collagen. Severe cases might even lead to skin cancer.

Wondering how to protect skin from sun damage? We got you covered! Below are some of the new skin care products in the market that offer UV ray protection.


1. Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40

Where to buy: Supergoop website

Supergoop launched in 2007.



Some people skip applying sunscreen for two reasons: one, it feels oily and two, it leaves a whitish residue on the skin which can be especially troublesome if you have a dark skin tone. These are issues that Supergoop aims to solve with its invisible and weightless product. This unseen sunscreen protects your skin not only from the sun’s rays but also from blue lights coming from computers and phones.

Makeup enthusiasts might be delighted to know that the sunscreen also doubles as a great primer before applying makeup. The company advises SPF reapplication every two hours to maximize the effect of the product.


2. Lumiere Skin Organiceuticals Brightening Sunblock SPF 50

Where to buy: Lumiere’s website and BeautyMNL
Price: PhP680–PhP880

Lumiere was established in 2012 by a mother and daughter team.



It seems like skin care companies are pursuing versatile products, as is evident in one of the newest innovations of Lumiere Organiceuticals, which is the Brightening Body Sunblock SPF50. Besides doing its job to protect your skin from the sun, it also doubles as a skin tightening product. So while the sunblock whitens your skin with its light-weight formula, it also shrinks your pores and reduces cellulites with its micro cryogenic treatment.

The product also boasts of 100% natural and organic ingredients such as aloe vera juice, olive oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, rosehip oil, papaya enzyme, vitamin C, chamomile extract, licorice root extract, vitamin B3, multi-nutrient beads, licorice root extract, Alpha Arbutin, and sweet almond oil.




3. Lancome Skin Feels Good Tinted Moisturizer SPF 23

Where to buy: Lancome website or Lancome - Robinsons Magnolia

This Lancome tinted moisturizer leaves a healthy glow on the skin.



Wearing full makeup on a hot day can definitely be annoying as foundations can get oily and cakey as the day goes on. This is where tinted moisturizers come in. They are a great substitute for foundation for those who still want to wear makeup this summer. While tinted moisturizers are much sheer and less pigmented, they can also hydrate and make your face radiant. Not all tinted moisturizers can protect against the sun, though, so it would be a huge bonus if yours also contains SPF, like Lancome Skin Feels Good Tinted Moisturizer SPF 23 does.

Its formula contains moisture-locking ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and moringa seeds for free-radical protection. It is available in 11 shades: cool porcelaine, nude vanilla, soft beige, natural blond, fresh almond, cream beige, golden sand, radiant tan, sweet honey, sunny amber, and real suede.




4. It Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation Full Coverage Moisturizer With SPF 50

Where to buy: It Cosmetics website
Price: $39.5 or approximately PhP2,054*

Plastic surgeons helped in developing this innovation.



It Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation Full Coverage Moisturizer With SPF 50 offers full coverage and anti-aging features with its 3D Skin Flex Technology. While it hydrates as a moisturizer, it also covers fine wrinkles, breakouts, pores, dark spots, lines, and redness. The 3D Skin Flex Technology also diminishes creasing and cracking as you apply it on your skin. It is available in 12 shades for various skin tones.


5. Face Republic Super Screen Sun Gel SPF 50+

Where to buy: BeautyMNL
Price: PhP20 each

Face Republic just launched their brand at the country last year.



Face Republic might not yet be a familiar name, but this newcomer offers quite affordable products within its arsenal. One of which is the Super Screen Sun Gel SPF 50+. The high-level SPF shields skin from both UVA and UVB. It also prevents breakout as it goes well with oily skin thanks to its grease-free and lightweight gel formula. Since staying under the sun can leave the skin feeling hot afterwards, this sun gel has a cooling and nourishing effect through its antibacterial eucalyptus leaf extract.
