A sunscreen does more than prevent sunburn. CNP Cosmetics tells us why it’s important to use sunscreen every day, and how their sunscreens can save your skin.
A sunscreen does more than prevent sunburn. CNP Cosmetics tells us why it’s important to use sunscreen every day, and how their sunscreens can save your skin.
1. CONTAINS SAFE INGREDIENTS
Chemical sunscreens contain benzophenone, which breaks down ultraviolet (UV) rays but has been linked to a cancer risk as it can enter the bloodstream.
Instead, opt for physical sunscreens like CNP Laboratory’s Tone-Up Protection Sun SPF42 PA+++ and Omega Perfection Sunblock SPF50+ PA+++.
These have zinc oxide and titanium oxide, which form a barrier that scatters UV rays so they never reach the skin, says Alfred Tan, marketing and merchandising executive, and trainer for CNP Cosmetics. The two ingredients block out the entire spectrum of UV rays and are safe to use.
Alfred adds: “These sunscreens are suitable for sensitive skin as they do not contain parabens, artificial colour pigments and fragrance, or mineral oil.”
2. HELPS YOU SAVE TIME CNP
Laboratory’s Tone- Up Protection Sun SPF42 PA+++ is a superb time-saver as it doubles as an excellent makeup primer, and has skincare benefits like sebum control, hydration and brightening.
3. PROTECTS SKIN AGAINST PREMATURE AGEING
UVA causes tanning and premature ageing, while UVB is responsible for sunburn.
No matter how high the SPF level, it doesn’t protect the skin against UVA. You need a PA rating – Protection Grade of UVA – which is rated by the number of plus signs. The more pluses, the higher the defense against UVA, explains Alfred. CNP Laboratory’s sunscreens come with a high PA+++ rating for optimum protection against UVA rays.
4. PREVENTS BREAKOUTS
Older physical sunscreens with high SPF may have felt heavy on the skin and contained ingredients that clog pores, but newer ones feel almost invisible.
The lightweight CNP Laboratory Omega Perfection Sunblock SPF50+ PA+++ is free of pore-clogging mineral oil, and contains green tea extract to moisturise and prevent breakouts. It is also suitable for use on your arms and legs.
