Let’s face it: slathering on sunscreen in the scorching heat of Singapore can feel like a sticky nightmare. But skipping your SPF isn’t an option! According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, UV radiation is the leading cause of skin aging, more so than the inherent factors like genetics. Protect those precious cells!

Are Spray Sunscreens Worth It?

Absolutely—when used correctly! Spray sunscreens are game-changers for those beach days and quick touch-ups. Just remember: a good coating is key! Spray until your skin shines, then rub it in. Don’t just walk through the mist like a music diva—apply it thoroughly. And reapplication every two hours is a must, just like traditional sunscreens.

Does Sunscreen Expire?

Yes! It’s more important than you might realize. Sunscreens typically last around three years, but heat can reduce their effectiveness. Always check the expiration date! If your bottle has a funky smell or odd texture, it’s time to toss it. Expired sunscreen means less protection, and that’s a risk you don’t want to take.
