Fun in the sun: Suncare just got easier with Lip Hop's new range
mis à jour le 3 May 2019 à 16:15Sun care just got easier with Lip Hop's selection of products. Beat even the current haze craze with these affordable and innovative products formulated in Korea.
When it comes to suncare products, we must have made at least one excuse to avoid it. Sunscreens are generally presumed to be heavy and oily, which makes it uncomfortable to slather on in a humid climate like Singapore's. However, that should not be the norm.
The importance of proper suncare cannot be overlooked. Sunscreen is important as it helps in preventing ultraviolet rays such as UVA and UVB from harming our skin. UVA is responsible for causing sunburn while its counterpart UVB has a more long term effect resulting in the wrinkling of skin or even age spots.
So before you completely give suncare the boot, let Lip Hop, a new line of suncare essentials change your mind.
Formulated and made in Korea, this exclusive range is dermatologically tested and provides that much needed protection from the sun. Whether you're enjoying a swim or going about your daily work routine, the products can be used anytime and anywhere even in the hazy conditions we are experiencing now.
What we love is how the products not only provide sun protection but are also infused with beneficial skincare ingredients such as acerola extract to reduce the appearance of dark spots. One of its star products is the Ultra Whitening Sun Protection Lotion, which has a unique Melavoid Whitening Factor to achieve brighter and more radiant skin.
Now if questions such as how and when to apply sunscreen are running through your mind, here are five easy sun facts to follow:
PRE-APPLY
It's recommended to apply your sunscreen at least 20 minutes before any sun exposure. If you're going to be using makeup, apply your sunscreen and allow it to sit for a few minutes before applying your base products.
RE-APPLY
This step is essential for individuals who work outdoors or engage in sports. It is best to apply your sunscreen once you notice excessive sweating.
DO NOT BE STINGY WITH YOUR SUNSCREEN
Ensure that you are applying at least 3 ml of sunscreen on your face. Sounds heavy? Lip Hop products are water based and absorb easily. They are formulated with ingredients to not only boost your skin radiance but provide the needed sun protection too - we approve!
USE A SUNSCREEN WITH MINIMUM SPF15
This is the bare minimum that should be used for basic sun protection. Should you feel that your skin is more prone to tanning or sun burns, opt for a sunscreen with a higher SPF.
DON'T USE OLD SUNSCREEN
Just as with makeup or skincare products, it is important to keep track of the expiry date on your sunscreen. An expired sunscreen may lose its formulation and not offer sun protection. Instead its colour might change and you might notice the ingredients breaking down. This is definitely not safe for your skin as it may cause irritation.
With Lip Hop's vibrant packaging and innovative formulation, we are sure to make a place for this range of handy products in our daily routine. Head over to the gallery up top for a round up of the different products Lip Hop has to offer.
