Safe and Sun
With the philosophy of ‘no shortcuts in beauty,’ Khoo Ai Tee, Clé de Peau Beauté’s assistant training manager reiterates the necessity of sun care for the coming bright days
The importance of sun care for daily protection
“Sun care decreases sunburn and prevents cellular stress. Choose sun care with multi-functions which combine healing properties of skincare, emphasising resilience and protection.”
Awareness of sun damage
“The immediate danger of too much sun is sunburn. With repeated sun damage, the skin starts to look dry, wrinkled, discoloured, and feel rough. UV rays also generate free radicals that damage skin cells. The best defence against free radicals is antioxidants.”
Helpful tips to protect from UV rays
“Avoid the sun between 10am and 4pm, apply sunskincare before stepping out the door, protect your delicate lips, invest in good quality sunglasses and drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.”
A sun-skincare product she recommends
“Clé de Peau Beauté UV Protective Emulsion for Body SPF 30. Apply daily and you won’t have to worry about walking under the sun! It also hydrates skin without causing discomfort.”
The most important step in her beauty regime
“Proper cleansing. I use different removers for my eyes and lips, and face.”
A useful beauty hack every woman should know
“For radiant and lasting makeup in a pinch, apply a mask before makeup— the hydration and adherence is superb.”
Her signature look
“Clean and flawless skin. With natural eye makeup, I can enhance my look with different lip colours.”
Her pampering regime
“I do facial treatments monthly, and give myself a 15-minute brightening session weekly.”
The best treatment for sunburn
“You can always rely on aloe vera or products that have calming properties. To prevent unevenness, place a brightening mask within a couple of days from sun exposure.”
