Sunscreen
Protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays is crucial but it’s also important to note that not all sunscreens have equal efficacy or similar ingredients. Dr Aparna Santhanam, Dermatologist and Skin Care Expert at ITC Dermafique, stresses that “During summers especially, it is essential to choose a sunscreen that contains Full Light Technology, which protects from not just UVA and UVB rays but also from harmful infrared rays and visible light. This technology prevents tanning, persistent pigmentation, and premature aging caused due to sun exposure. Additionally, it is advisable to choose a super-light formula with a feather-light texture that gets absorbed easily. Since summer often sees increased sunscreen use, it’s crucial to maintain consistent reapplication habits.”
Dr. Santhanam advises reapplying sunscreen every two hours, or more frequently if engaging in physical activities, swimming, sweating, or drying off with a towel. She underscores that although sunscreen provides excellent protection, its stability is finite, emphasizing the need for consistent and repetitive application to ensure optimal defense against harmful UV rays and during intense exposure, augmenting the application with physical screening methods like umbrellas, hats and parasols!
