TOP 5 SUNSCREENS IN JAPAN

As you all know, the sun is not always kind to the skin. UV can burn our skin, fastening the aging process. It is dangerous to stay long under the sun without protection like UV-cut clothing, umbrella or using sunscreens. So every day when go outside you need to put sunscreen.

In Japan, the level of UV in daylight is very high during summer. That is one of the reasons why many kinds of sunscreens are introduced in the country.

First we need to understand some basic fundamental about UVA, UVB, SPF, PA:

UVA: 95% of sunlight is UVA. UVA can go deep into your skin, destroy the inner layer of skin. It is the main cause of melasma, tanning, skin, skin cancer. UVA can go through almost everything, house roofs, walls, doors, clothes… except for sunscreens.

UVB: The cause of instant burns on skin, sun burnt and hurt.

SPF (the level against UVB): the higher SPF means the longer time the sunscreen can remain effective against the UVB. Take SPF times 10 to get the actual minutes of protection time of the sunscreen. For example, SPF 50 means the duration you will get protected against UVP by using the product is 50 x 10 = 500 mins (about 8 hours).

PA (the level against UVA): higher PA means the higher ability to cut UVA. The highest level is currently PA ++++

It is best to apply sunscreens about 20 mins before going out to the sun, to achieve the best effect of the sunscreen.

1. ANESSA

This is one of the most popular and loved line of sunscreen.

Plus points:

• The sunscreen is absorbed very fast into the skin after application. Very thin and feels like you haven’t applied anything onto the skin. The skin is smoother and softer after application.
• There are skin care ingredients in Anessa, so it would be just fine combo for those who want to save time making up in the morning.
• High protection SPF: 50+, PA ++++

Weak point:

• High price

By the way, i really like it. Will buy it many time later.
