Forever’s Aloe Sunscreen has all the ingredients a sunscreen needs to protect your precious skin from the serious and harmful rays that can cause permanent damage. It has SPF 30 rating, water resistance, and best of all, it goes on like a smooth and silky lotion.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology and the Food and Drug Administration, no matter what your skin type is, a broad spectrum sunscreen should be used the whole year round, and not just when you are going to be in the sun! A broad spectrum sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays. UVA are rays that can pass through window glass and penetrate deeply into skin, and its exposure is known to lead to signs of premature aging, wrinkling and age spots. UVB are the sun’s burning rays and are the primary cause of sunburn or sun damage to the skin.

Forever’s Aloe Sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB. It also does something else that most sunscreens don’t. It moisturizes, nourishes and balances the skin too. Leave it to Forever to incorporate its signature 100% stabilized Aloe Vera with its natural skin-enhancing and collagen-protecting properties to give Aloe Sunscreen its superior ability to soothe and protect!

By the way, most people may not be applying the sunscreen properly. According to American Academy of Dermatology, about 1 ounce of sunscreen is considered the amount needed to cover the exposed areas of the body. It is also important to note that applying sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before sun exposure is recommended. Be aware that UV rays can penetrate cloud cover, so be sure to use it even on cloudy or hazy days.

SPF or Sun Protection Factor refers to the sunscreen’s ability to deflect the sun’s burning rays. A high SPF provides for greater UVB protection than a lower SPF, but it does not mean that you can stay in the sun indefinitely. Understanding this, you will be reapplying Aloe Sunscreen minimally every two hours if you are in the sun. That is, if you are not in water, perspiring or in high humidity. If you are, then you need to reapply more frequently. If you are not applying adequate amount, this may result in less protection. Be sure to use all that you know about protecting your skin, such as using a hat, sunglasses and protective clothing when long sun exposure is expected. Apply Aloe Sunscreen generously now, and head out to play!

What is SPF?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, which is a measure of how many times longer you can stay in the sun before you begin to experience a sunburn. If for example, you know that you start to burn after 10 minutes in the sun, then a SPF of 30 will provide you protection to stay up to 5 hours (i.e. 30 x 10 minutes).

As those with fairer skin are likely to get sunburned faster, a sunscreen with a higher SPF e.g. SPF 30 is needed.

“Glaring” sun facts that you should know

• Are you aware that over-exposure to sun is the main cause of premature skin-ageing?


• Do you know that there are many instances where you can get over-exposed to the sun without actually being under direct sunlight, for example while driving?


• Sun rays are also strongly reflected from concrete, sand and water and this can indirectly increase sun exposure by as much as 50% even when you are under a shade.


• Do you know that sunburn can still occur when it is cloudy as the invisible UV rays can penetrate through clouds?


• Do you know that the sun rays are most intense, and hence most damaging at between 11.00 am and 3.00pm?
