Sun Protection
Broad-spectrum sunscreens, UV protection, and after-sun care for all skin types and tones.
Sunscreen is the single most important anti-aging and skin cancer prevention product. Daily sunscreen use reduces the risk of melanoma by 50% and prevents premature aging, dark spots, and sun damage.
Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Physical (mineral) sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide sit on top of the skin, while chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays.
For Indian skin, look for sunscreens that don't leave a white cast and are lightweight enough for humid weather. Gel-based and fluid formulations work well in tropical climates. Reapply every 2-3 hours when outdoors.

Sun Protection — Frequently Asked Questions
What SPF sunscreen should I use?
SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays and is sufficient for daily use. SPF 50 blocks about 98%. More important than high SPF is proper application (2 finger lengths for the face) and regular reapplication every 2-3 hours.
Do I need sunscreen indoors?
If you sit near windows, yes — UVA rays penetrate glass. For fully indoor days with minimal window exposure, sunscreen is optional. However, dermatologists recommend daily use as a habit for consistent protection.
Which sunscreen is best for oily skin?
Gel-based or fluid sunscreens with a matte finish work best for oily skin. Look for 'oil-free' or 'non-comedogenic' labels. Sunscreens with niacinamide can also help control oil production throughout the day.
