With temperatures soaring and the heat beating down on us ever so ferociously, it’s an absolute must to make sure you’ve got ample sunblock slathered onto your skin.
The problem is you don’t want a sunblock that’s heavy, greasy and sticky because that’s not going to sit well at all. So if you need help in landing your holy grail sun protection product, we’ve rounded up our favourites that might just become your favourites too!

MAC Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50, approx. SGD40
“Is it bad to admit that I rely on my foundation cushion and BB cream to give me SPF coverage? That is unless I’m makeup-free – or at the beach – which is when I use this sunscreen cream from MAC. So far it has prevented me from being burnt and I like its light and non-greasy texture.”
Tarandip – Fashion & Beauty Writer
Cholley Alpine Solar Defense, SPF50, SGD98
“Honestly, I’m one of those who would rather skip sunblock than have my skin feel icky and sticky all day. However ever since geniuses invented lightweight formulations that did not feel heavy, I’ve been sold and especially so with Swiss brand, Cholley’s Alpine Solar Defense in SPF50. It’s light, non-greasy, absorbs quickly and comes with a high protection. It’s a beauty weapon indeed.”
Karen – Lifestyle & Food Writer
Shiseido Senka Mineral Water UV Essence SPF50+, SGD12
“On the rare occasions I do remember to slather on sunscreen I use Shiseido Senka Mineral Water UV Essence SPF50+. It’s moisturising without being slimy and absorbs well without leaving a shiny finish on the face.”
Syaz – Fashion & Beauty Writer
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-touch Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF55, SGD24.80
“This holy grail sunscreen is great for everyday application after you’ve cleansed and moisturised, but before you put on your makeup. It doesn’t feel greasy and stays comfortable on the skin all day!“
Cheryl – Lifestyle & Beauty Writer
For Beloved One Melasleep Whitening High Sunscreen, SGD52
“I love the sunblock from For Beloved One. It is slightly tinted, so it’s great as a makeup base. It is also matte and penetrates the skin quickly for a shine-free face.“
