Is Sunscreen Good For Skin? Here’s Everything You Need to Know!

Hey, beauties! Summer is almost upon us and so are the longer days, sunny afternoons, and the sweltering heat. With the sun shining bright, you’ve probably heard several beauty influencers and dermatologists recommend wearing sunscreen. But what is the big deal about sunscreen? Is sunscreen good for skin? And does it really work? What is all the buzz about SPF? Let’s find out! 

The Wholesome Benefits of Sunscreen

Well, first to answer the question. Yes, sunscreen IS good for your skin! From protecting your skin to preventing skin conditions, sunscreens offer an array of benefits. With their unique ‘SPF’ i.e Sun Protection Factor, sunscreens are assessed based on how well they protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays. Ideally, formulations with SPF 30 or above are recommended for daily use.  

Skin-loving UV Protection 

To start with, it helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays that can potentially cause sunburn, premature ageing, and even skin cancer. A sunscreen absorbs UV radiation that penetrates the skin to form a physical block and reflects the UV rays to prevent skin damage. The blocking of UV rays with sunscreen further helps in lowering the risk of skin cancer. Not just that, it also keeps you away from signs of premature ageing!  

Minimizes Hyperpigmentation  

Sunny weekend plans are super fun but the long exposure to sun can also cause hyperpigmentation. This is why a broad-spectrum sunscreen in India is a makeup must-have. They not only prevent those tans and sunspots, but also protect skin from Melasma, a skin condition that causes gray-brown patches.    

Enhances Skin Texture 

If you are looking for the best sunscreen for the face in India, choose one that includes skin-loving ingredients that improve skin texture. While choosing a sunscreen, pick one that hydrates the skin and replenishes moisture lost due to excess sun exposure. Sunscreens with anti-inflammatory benefits help calm the skin and prevent redness, making them a perfect choice for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
