When it comes to the daily skincare routine, we often overlook sunscreens. However, the harmful UV rays have a bigger impact on our skin than we think, especially to those of us who live in this Bangkok’s high temperatures. Exposure to sunlight can cause annoying freckles and premature wrinkles, which is why sun care is an essential step in our morning regimen. From Lancôme to Shiseido, we’ve rounded up the best sunscreens that will give you the protection you need without leaving unflattering residue and chalking feelings on our face. Check out our top choices to help you freshen up your skincare routine.
