Sunscreen: Rain or shine, it's a must-have

Manila, Philippines - Even with the onset of the rainy season, don’t be caught without sunscreen. For even amid the blinding sheets of rain, ultraviolet rays are present, posing a threat to your skin.

Sure, you’ve got your umbrella to shield you from the rain, but do you have the right product to protect you from the sun? Rain or shine, UV rays seep 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. Meet the new rainy season must-have: Obagi Nu-Derm Sun Shield SPF 50!

Why you need sun protection 24/7, 365 days a year

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. So even if it’s overcast or raining, ultraviolet rays can still harm our skin. 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.

A product from 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.
