Daily sunscreen protection

MANILA, Philippines - Daylong, a dermatological suncare brand from the makers of Cetaphil, is the first to explicitly advocate daily sunscreen application. In its recent efforts to support its cause, Daylong conducted a UV-exposure study to investigate whether the outdoor sun on the beach shows the same level of strength in the city — even when indoors. The study showed that in Metro Manila, the daily UV Index recorded reaches up to 10 from 12 noon to 1 p.m., which places a very high risk from unprotected sun exposure. Comparing the city’s UV index to Caticlan (Boracay) and El Nido (Palawan), data showed both summer destinations also reach UV Index 10 during the same hours. Daylong’s daily sunscreen protection advocacy can be viewed online at www.Daylong.ph, and on Daylong Philippines’ social media pages: DaylongPH on Facebook and @DaylongPH on Twitter and Instagram.
