SUNSCREENS

Sunscreens are essential guardians of our skin against the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. These protective formulations come in various forms, such as lotions, creams, sprays, and sticks, and they work by creating a barrier on the skin's surface to absorb or reflect UV rays. Sunscreens are critical in preventing sunburn, skin aging, and reducing the risk of skin cancer, making them a must-have in every daily skincare routine. When choosing a sunscreen, it's crucial to select one with broad-spectrum protection, suitable for your skin type, and with a sun protection factor (SPF) appropriate for your sun exposure level.

Who it's for

Sunscreens are for everyone, as they offer essential protection against the harmful effects of UV radiation from the sun, helping to prevent sunburn, premature skin aging, and skin cancer.

What to look for

Before buying sunscreen, consider factors such as your skin type (e.g., sensitive, oily, dry), the sun protection factor (SPF) appropriate for your skin and sun exposure, the type of sunscreen (chemical or mineral), and whether it offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Also, check for water resistance if you plan to swim or sweat, and consider any specific skin concerns or preferences, such as fragrance-free or hypoallergenic options if you have sensitive skin.
