Japanese women have always been adored for their beautiful bare skin and fair, radiant complexion. The secret to this beauty radiance lies in an effective skincare regime paired with innovative protective solutions. Malaysian women who have always desired porcelain radiant skin however, often gets challenged to maintain 360 beauty radiance due to daily exposure of harsh UV rays.
With a tropical climate that shows no mercy to our skin, it becomes more important for Malaysian women to apply sunscreen every day as part of their beauty regime. In Malaysia, the intensity of UV rays has been increasing significantly over the years. During peak hours, it could reach levels between 8 to 10 and can even go up to a high of 15 in the afternoon on a clear day. What makes matters worse is that UV radiation is not only prevalent outdoors, but can also reach indoors, with up to 70% rays able to penetrate through windows. On top of that, according to Kao Skincare Benchmark Study 2018, only a staggering 17% Malaysian women aged 15-49 year olds stay covered sufficiently from UV rays.
