MANILA, Philippines - Summer is at its height so you shouldn’t stop using sun protection. The sun’s rays are strong in places closer to the equator, our tropical country included. The ozone is naturally thinner in the tropics, so there is less ozone to absorb harmful UV rays before they hit the Earth’s surface. Rain or shine, UV rays are present, seeping through the clouds, reflecting off pavements, vehicles, even water — they are deceptively high where you least expect them. This is why you need sunscreen everywhere, all day, all-year round.
The power of SPF 50
If you are one of those people who dislike sunscreen, mainly because a lot of other products feel greasy and leave a whitish film on the skin, you’re going to love Obagi Nu-Derm Sun Shield SPF 50. A product from the trusted skin care brand, Obagi Medical, it combines high UVB absorption and dynamic UVA blockage with zinc oxide and octinoxate. It’s also paraben-free, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and comes in a sheer, matte finish that makes it ideal for all skin types.
Not only does the product protect you with a higher SPF, it is also a potent anti-aging product that shields your skin from other problems caused by sun exposure. Skin that is constantly exposed to harmful UV rays appears sullen, leathery and uneven in tone. Wrinkles and sagging can also occur eventually. The good news is, sun damage is avoidable. With Obagi Nu-Derm Sun Shield SPF 50, you can enjoy the outdoors and still be effectively protected.
