The Allrounder Sunscreen That Protects Your Skin
Aside from shielding it from ultraviolet rays, it also forms a barrier against pigmentationcausing blue light.
One of the biggest culprits in skin ageing is UV rays from the sun. But there’s now a more insidious skin danger: blue light. It doesn’t just come from the sun, it’s emitted by our smartphone screens, electronic devices and fluorescent lighting. We’re exposed to blue light 24/7 – and at close range too.
Blue light not only causes the same damage as UVA and UVB rays – hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, sunburn – it penetrates more deeply into the skin. Some studies suggest that blue light causes worse pigmentation problems.
It took Crystal Tomato five years and at least 30 revisions to create Beyond Sun Protection ($73.50 before GST). Aside from UV protection (SPF75+ and PA++++), it is the world’s first clinically proven sunscreen for blue light, offering 54.1 per cent protection. This protection value is a medically proven rating that is extremely difficult to achieve.
The formula has a Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) protection of 17+, which means it blocks over 90 per cent of UVA rays that cause signs of premature ageing such as skin dryness, roughness and wrinkles.
Plus, antioxidants protect against environmental aggressors such as pollution and infrared rays, preventing free radical damage and keeping skin healthy.
The lightweight sunscreen keeps skin hydrated and shinefree. It’s ideal for all skin types, including sensitive, thanks to its hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic and nonacnegenic formula. The cherry on top: It helps balance skin’s moisture levels, and brightens the complexion.
