Beyond skin darkening, another more significant reason to shy away from the sun is precisely why I advocate using day moisturizers with SPF: the dreaded skin aging. Even stress can’t hold a candle to the sun’s effects on wrinkles, blotchy pigmentation, and skin sagging.
Listen up, beach babes! In a talk given by dermatologist Ma. Lorna F. Frez, MD, she explained that there are three types of UV rays from the sun: UVC, UVB, and UVA. UVC is the most damaging of the three, although we’re lucky that these rays are filtered off by the ozone layer.

March is just around the corner and the country is gearing up for the arrival of several big-name bands and pop stars. But there’s one event gathering with a different kind of buzz: the arrival of Harry Connick, Jr., the three-time Grammy winner and jazz sensation. If you’re a lover of the big-band sound, you can’t afford to miss this one-night-only concert. Globe and MTV Philippines are proud to present Harry Connick, Jr. and his Big Band Live in Manila on March 15 at the PICC Plenary Hall.
