How to Choose Right Sunscreen: If you feel that sunscreen is only for those going in the sun, then wait! The rays of the sun can also damage your skin from behind the clouds. Not only this, blue light also affects your skin inside the house. But choosing the right sunscreen is not less than a puzzle! How much is SPF? Take cream or gel? What would be right for oily skin? If such questions are revolving in your mind too, do not take tension. This guide of dermatologist will tell you which sunscreen will be the best for your skin!
What should be kept in mind when choosing sunscreen?
SPF (Sun protection factor) right
According to Meliang Piliang, Dermatologist of Claveland Clinic, SPF of sunscreen should be 30 or more. SPF blocks 97% UVB rays by 30, while SPF can stop 98% rays by 50. If you stay in the sun for a long time, choose SPF 50+ sunscreen.
Choose broad-spectrum sunscreen
Both UVA and UVB rays damage the skin. Choose only sunscreen with broad-spectrum i.e. Wide Protection, which can protect both.
Be waterproof and sweatproof
If you swim or sweat more, then choose water-resistant sunscreen. It will remain on the skin for a long time and there will be no need to apply again and again.
Choose according to skin type-
Oily skin: Take oil-free sunscreen with gel or matte finish.
Dry Skin: Moisturizing and cream-based sunscreen will be best.
Sensitive Skin: Choose mineral based sunscreen that contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Chemical or mineral sunscreen?
-Cemical sunscreen absorbs in the skin and neutralizes the rays.
-Mineral sunscreen stays on the upper surface of the skin and reflects the rays.
-Mineral sunscreen is considered better for sensitive skin.
The right way to apply sunscreen
-Apply 20-30 minutes before leaving.
-Apply again in 2-3 hours, especially if you sweat or are swimming.
-Apply neck, hands and feet not only on the face, but also on the face.
