SUNBLOCK THAT CONTAINS TCM HERBS? WHAT BENEFITS DOES IT HAVE?
A good skin care routine is essential to help your skin remain youthful, radiant and healthy. One important step we must not skip is Sun protection. There are 2 main types of sun protection- Physical sunblocks and Chemical sunscreens. Physical sunblock ingredients (eg. titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) block and scatter the rays before they penetrate your skin. Chemical sunscreen ingredients absorb UV rays before they can damage your skin. Using a physical sunblock may be less likely to cause skin irritation and is the best way to physically defend your skin from UV rays, especially for those with sensitive skin or acne-prone skin.
Our new UV Oil-free Sunblock offers SPF42++, giving your skin the full protection it deserves with Titanium oxide and Zinc oxide as a physical sunblock. It is also formulated with Traditional Chinese Medicinal herbs like Peony root, Poria cocos, and Honeysuckle flower just to name a few that helps to moisturize, hydrate, and most importantly protect your skin from the damaging UV rays and free radicals that cause oxidative stress to the skin causing premature aging.
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. The number tells you how long the sun’s UVB rays would take to redden/burn your skin if you apply the sunscreen exactly as directed compared with the amount of time without sunscreen. Hence for a UV sunblock with SPF 42, it means it would take you 42 times longer to burn than if you used no sunscreen. If you turn red under the sun after 10 mins of sun exposure, SPF42 would mean you would now take 420mins (~ 7hrs) before you turn red.
Having an effective skin routine with Serene Skinlab products like the Renew Serum and Renew Mask can aid you in preventing wrinkles and fine lines, minimize pores, prevent acne, and now your skin can look amazing with all the UV protection it needs. With a good skincare regime and combined with our new Sunblock, you are guaranteed of the following benefits:
