Sunscreen from Wardah to fend off UV rays
Malaysians know what it’s like to melt under the hot sun on a typical afternoon. Whether we’re lepak-ing at a mamak stall or tackling a gruelling hiking trail, the sun is always a bother – and the sweat stains and uneven tan lines say it all.
Umbrellas and caps do the trick of shielding us when it’s panas gila outside. But when it comes to fending off harmful and invisible UV rays, it takes more than just hiding under the shade to protect our skin from sun damage.
If applying sunscreen isn’t part of your morning routine yet, check out Wardah’s new Light Matte Sun Stick. It’s a portable and easy-to-apply sunscreen that also works as a primer and serum, so even the busiest of bees can keep safe in the sun.
Portable sunscreen in a twist-up tube
Most of us skip out on sunscreen as we aren’t all too sure about its benefits. Not to mention, the confusion many of us sunscreen newbies have over how to use it – do we apply it before our makeup? Or after? When is the right time to reapply? And how often?

Rest assured, there are no-brainer products you can snag such as Wardah’s Light Matte Sun Stick. At the affordable price of RM31, this SPF 50 PA++++ sunscreen ditches the usual cream and aerosol formulas in favour of a convenient easy-to-apply stick in a twist-up tube form.
Its pocket-friendly packaging lets you easily apply sunscreen 2-3 times a day, so you’re always protected from the sun’s damaging rays. Besides being a breeze to use – simply open the cap and apply a layer of sunscreen to your face by gliding it over your skin – its nifty tube ensures that your hands are never sticky with leftover cream.

Any firm believer of sunscreen can attest to having to deal with that pesky white cast on your face after applying certain sunscreens. But Wardah’s sunstick will leave your skin free of that whitewashed look, and will dry into a matte, smooth, and powdery finish instead – making it great as a primer for your skin pre-makeup.
As the Malaysian heat often leaves us drenched in sweat whether we’re running an errand or working out, you’ll be glad to know that the sunstick is sweat- and water-proof. Those with oily skin can give this sunstick formula a shot too, as it also absorbs sebum to prevent breakouts.
If you prefer the usual lotion sunscreens, Wardah has three other products in their UV Shield series too.

An affordable sunscreen option among the UV Shield series is Wardah’s Essential Sunscreen Gel (RM13) which comes in a 40ml bottle. This product is SPF 30 PA+++ and will appeal to those who like to go make-up free as it has a lightweight texture.
If your skin tends to flare up easily, the hydrating Aqua Fresh Essence (RM17.90) and water-proof Active Protection Serum (RM23.90) work to calm redness with bisabolol all while protecting you from the sun’s harsh rays with SPF 50 PA++++.
