Summer is over.. kahit pa nag dedeclare ang PAGASA..for us, our summer ends when school starts! Bawal na maglakwatsa eh at no more swimming! But that doesn’t stop us from using sunscreen lotion. And I am so glad that Daylong gave us some of their sun protection lotions for sampling.
It’s imperative that the product shot is with sunlight. hahaha
I used to think that sun protection is only used for swimming.. well not until I had Sati, di ba nga, I started to be “lady-like” and learn a few things about skin protection when I had Sati. I want to be a good model to her when it comes to skin care and body care. And skin care means protecting the skin from UV rays that can really damage or kill our skin cells. Afterall, the sun from the beach is no different naman sa sun here in the city di ba? So why din deprive our skin of that kind of protection?
But they never really like applying sun protection lotions, malagkit daw eh and the strong reminds them of the beach (me too!!) and not to mention too sticky on their skin. Ako din, from the brand we were using before Daylong, tinitiis ko lang ang lagkit. And that’s the reason why we’ll be sticking to Daylong from now on!
Sati really likes Daylong because of the non sticky feel. Siya na nga mag-isa nag aapply before going out.
Daylong, a dermatological suncare brand, is the first explicitly advocate daily sunscreen application under the campaign #NoVacationFromSunProtection. Daylong conducted a UV-exposure study to investigate whether the outdoor sun at the beach shows the same level of strength in the city – even when indoors. Daylong used sun sensors to track daily UV exposures in Metro Manila for a week. From day to night, the participants’ daily activities were recorded, even when indoors.
The study showed that in Metro Manila, the daily UV Index recorded reaches up to 10 from 12nn to 1pm, which places a ‘Very High’ risk from unprotected sun exposure. Comparing the city’s UV index to Caticlan (Boracay) and El Nido (Palawan), and data showed both summer destinations also reach UV Index 10 during the same hours.
Daylong also found out that despite staying indoors, the women registered UV readings. Whether clear or cloudy weather, UV solar radiation remains strong, and it can penetrate windows. Indoor light sources, even at night, have also been revealed to contribute to UV exposure.
Daylong used the World Health Organization UV Index ranging from 1 to 11, with 11 indicating ‘Extreme’ UV exposure.
“We understand that unprotected sun exposure, indoors or outdoors, causes skin damage down to the cellular level. And this means premature skin aging, DNA damage and worse, skin cancer. It’s not just about sunburn” says Jon Lee, Daylong Brand Manager. “Daylong is a dermatological suncare brand that can help prevent all these because it is clinically proven to protect all the way to the skin’s DNA and cellular level. This is why we began the advocacy of daily sunscreen protection – to ensure that everyone’s skin stays healthy, whether they are in the city or at the beach.”
See what I mean? Sun protection lotion is one of the HG in skin care. And Daylong is a must on your skin care regimen.
