Stepping outside the house without applying sunscreen can cause harm to your skin, in more ways than one.
Like all other beauty products, sunscreen too has a wide range. So one must keep their skin’s needs in mind, before choosing the right sunscreen for them.
Whenever you buy a sunscreen, check the package to see if it offers protection from UVA and UVB. Buy a sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
If you sweat profusely or you are going to wear sunscreen while swimming, then buy a waterproof one.
If your skin is sensitive, buy a brand that does not contain para-amino benzoic acid (PABA).
If your skin is sensitive, buy a brand that does not contain para-amino benzoic acid (PABA).
If your sunscreen is not suiting the skin or not giving good results, stop using it immediately and do not use sunscreen with the same chemical.
If your skin is oily and pimples are prone to breakouts then use water based products, instead of oil based ones.
It is not necessary that an expensive product suits your skin, so keep an eye on every type of product and use the ingredient that suits.
Check the expiry date before use. If you are using a chemical that has been degraded, it can be harmful to your skin.
If your skin is sensitive then do not use such a product which has fragrance. Buy a product that contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
