Quen^nie 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 I apply sunblock daily before i went out. Its a must in my skin regimen early in the morning. Sunblock actually helps face from harmful rays, eventho not 100%, yet i believe that it can reduce damage to the skin. most damage and skin problem occurs due to excessive exposure to sun. Therefore i think important to wear sunblock. However, which spf require depends on how max you gonna expose yourself in ur daily routine. Without sunblock, i guess you can encounter premature aging very fast and it might dehydrates your skin. Best way is to protect. For whitening im not so sure, depends on what whitening products you use, you might have different reaction to your skin. Different people have different skin and can adapt to different skincare. However, the basic is still the same. Cleanse, tone, moisturise and protect =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fir_ting 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 I don't agree that after 25 then only we should apply sunblock and eye cream!There are no age limit for when we should apply this stuffs, if it so, then you are making mistake to use that to treat your skin problems!You must understand that skincare products is produce in the mean of "care" or other word "prevention", just like when you already have wrinkles, you immediately go and buy antiwrinkles product, it's definitely too late as skincare products wont have such effects to treat wrinkles, they merely control and prevent it to become more serious!So, we should have the habit to apply sunblock and eyecream since young, but just have to remember to choose products which suit your age and skin!!!

quinieleong 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 a skincare brand, sothys if not mistaken, stated that we should allow some sun exposure to our skin everyday or else our skin ability to protect and regenerate itself will weaken....some sun exposure about 8:00-8:30 am is good.yeah i agree we should take care of our skin since young.i think sunblock is essential but we shouldnt go to extremes like applying it every 2 hours daily. after all, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. eg drinking too much water is bad for health.because of the chemicals in sunscreens, they cant be used on toddlers 6 months below. i have sensitive skin, so i apply sunscreen only if i were exposed to the afternoon sun for like 1o minutes above.and u misunderstand me. i didnt say we should only apply sunblock after 25 years...;Pno hard feelings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joukowski 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 No sunblock does not damage skin, most sunblock has stuff that would make your skin smoother these days. Some beauty products also contain the Titanium Oxide that is used in sunblock to stop UV damage of skin but they're beauty products & will do suff like make skin smoother and their main function is not to block UV.

Mint_Peach 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2008 Last year L'Oreal hv a talk at my school.(but it's not a beauty talk).The talk is about an activity they organized.But in the talk,she briefly talk about a product,Vichy. And she also mention that we should use beauty products contain UV or sunblock in our age.(20+).It is important to protect our skin from young. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dew168 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 No, sunblock will help us to prevent sunburn and also protect the top layer of our skin and keep it moisturized. Eg for face, you apply your face toner then apply your moisturizer then follow by sunblock. Not forgetting to apply the sunblock on your arms and also leg area if its going to be exposed under the hot sun.These days the sun is really very hot so do not leave home without applying your sunblock.bellrin8880@hotmail.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
