Best Beauty Buys 2023: Sunscreens

From lightweight and hydrating formulas to ones that double as makeup primers, here are our favourite sunscreens

by Ho Guo Xiong  /   January 16, 2023

Best Beauty Buys is The Singapore Women’s Weekly’s annual round up of the best and most effective products currently on the shelves. This year, we spotlight the skincare and makeup needs of busy mums who juggle children and demanding jobs who want to look and feel good doing it. The products were road-tested by a group of such multi-tasking women, and these are their picks.

In case you didn’t know, ultraviolet radiation from the sun is one of the biggest drivers of skin damage and inflammation leading to signs of ageing from fine lines and wrinkles to hyperpigmentation. The best defence we have? Sunscreen. So if you haven’t been using sunscreens, it is time to start. From lightweight and hydrating formulas to ones that double as makeup primers, here are our favourite sunscreens.
