CNA Lifestyle Feature: Sun care basics – Planning to switch to a sunscreen stick? Here’s what you need to know

Posted on by admin

Daily sunscreen application is a must because it’s one of the easiest things you can do to protect yourself against damaging UV rays, while also helping to slow down skin ageing.

In this article by CNA, Dr. Liew Hui Min, Consultant Dermatologist advises us to opt for sunscreens with higher SPF protection, as this would compensate for under-application of sunscreen. According to Dr. Liew, sunscreen remains on the skin at the desired SPF for up to eight hours, and re-application is advisable especially for activities like water sports or high intensity exercises.

CNA Lifestyle Feature: Why does my scalp sometimes smell and what can I do about it?

Posted on by admin

When it comes to body parts that might not always smell as pleasant, it’s easy to think that it would be the underarms or feet. But did you ever stop to think your scalp could be smellier than you realise? Chances are, you might not even know if it does smell unless someone has mentioned it to you.

In this article by CNA, Dr. Liew Hui Min, Consultant Dermatologist explains that our scalp smelling bad can be due to build-up of congested skin on the hair follicles, as well as the build-up of sebum, mixed with sweat. Other skin conditions such as eczema, folliculitis (also known as acne) and even psoriasis can also affect the scalp.
