The strong sunlight in summer damages our skin in many ways. Tanning, sunburn, freckles and premature wrinkles start appearing as soon as you go out in the sun. The biggest reason for this is the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun, which damage the skin from within. In such a situation, the use of sunscreen is most important. It acts as a protection shield for the skin.
However, choosing the right sunscreen for yourself from the many options available in the market can be a bit difficult. Actually, everyone's skin type is different. Some people have dry skin and some have oily skin. In such a situation, it is important that you choose a sunscreen with the right SPF and the right formula according to your skin.
So, today in the news of need, we will talk about how to choose the best sunscreen for yourself? Along with this, we will know-
What is SPF and which one is right for you?
Why is it necessary to apply sunscreen daily?
Which SPF should we choose? Is it necessary to take only high SPF?
SPF 15-30:
If you do everyday work like going to office, going to market or spend some time in mild sunlight, then this SPF is sufficient. It is light and does not put a burden on the skin.
SPF 30-50:
If you go to the park with children, do gardening or work in the sun for some time, then this SPF gives better protection to the skin.
SPF 50+:
This is necessary for those who have to stay in the sun for a long time, like sports persons, travelers or construction workers. Also, SPF 50+ is necessary for those with fair or sensitive skin because their skin can get sunburn quickly.
What things should be kept in mind while applying sunscreen?
Answer- Ingredients like Avobenzone present in sunscreen protect against UV rays, but if it accidentally goes into the eyes, it can cause problems like burning, stinging, watery eyes or redness. This condition can make you uncomfortable for some time. Therefore, keep these things in mind while applying sunscreen. Such as-
Avoid applying sunscreen too close to the eyes or around the eyelid.
Do not put hands on the eyes after applying sunscreen, especially if the hands are not washed.
If you are doing workout or outdoor activity, then sunscreen can go into the eyes due to sweat, in such a case choose water-resistant sunscreen.
After applying the sunscreen, give it two-three minutes to dry, so that it can be absorbed well into the skin.
