If you still think its OK to step out of your house without sunscreen then you might have to think twice.

We all know sunscreen protect us from UVA and UVB rays. 

What are UVA and UVB rays? Anyways who cares :p But you need to know they cause early skin aging and contribute towards skin wrinkling. If you don’t want to get wrinkles in your late 20’s itself then start applying sunscreens (sun block, sun tan lotion, sun cream etc whatever you call it, it’s one and the same)

Don’t select sunscreen just because it suits someone else. We all have different skin and their needs. Before buying sunscreen do a research and make sure you know your skin well. Unfortunately, I had many skin issues in my life. :(  I had visited number of skin specialist and dermatologists in past several years. That’s when I became conscious about my skin and very particular about sunscreens. I have researched a lot about sunscreens. I have also tried many of them. There are a lot of options available in the market.  Current one which I am using is thick, bit oily and lasts long for good 6-7hours and that’s more than enough for me, but I won’t recommend that because it’s given on prescription. But before that I have used a couple of them and they are good enough.

Sunscreens by lotus herbal are good. They have a lot of variety so that you could choose according to your requirement. I like 3 in 1 matte lock daily sun block by lotus herbal. I have also tried Garnier and honestly I dint like it. It’s patchy and makes your skin look white, literally white. VLCC has a good sunscreen. You can try that. I have tried lacto calamine; it was too dry for my skin. So I don’t recommend if you have dry skin like mine. If you depend on BB cream or your foundation for spf then it’s not enough. They barely have spf15. At least go for sunscreens which have 25-40spf. Too much of spf is not going to help. Instead buy a sunscreen with 30spf and make sure you apply sufficient amount.

I apply sunscreen before my foundation and let it settle for 5 mins. And remember sunscreen takes 15 to 20 mins to turn on into protection mode so make sure you apply half an hour ago before leaving your house.

Let me know which one you bought ;)

Happy summers!
