SPF is a non-negotiable step in any skincare routine, especially in sunny Singapore where temperatures often soar above 30 deg C. With UV exposure at an all-time high, effective sun protection is more important than ever.

While many of us are well aware of the consequences of inadequate protection – think dryness, discolouration, fine lines and wrinkles – finding a formula that ticks every box is easier said than done.

Ideally, you want a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection while caring for your skin, stands up to heat and humidity, glides on effortlessly, and leaves no white cast or greasy residue. So you can imagine our interest when we heard that Shiseido has unveiled its upgraded Global Suncare Range, featuring four versatile SPF formats to suit different preferences: Perfect Sun Protector Lotion ($70), Perfect Sun Protector Clear Stick ($45), Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion ($70), and Perfect Sun Protector Hydro Gel Cream ($70).
