There is one rule of thumb to keep in mind when it comes to skin care. And that is to wear sunscreen for Indian skin every single day! It still amazes, that people ask, “do I need sunscreen if I am indoors?” The answer to that question is YES. UVA and UVB rays are dangerous, and they aren't solely outside in the environment. When you are standing in front of a glass window or looking at the screen on that laptop or tablet, the glass, and the digital screens provide very little protection against the sun and that causes indoor sun damage.
Also, this is why dermatologists will tell you that a light sunscreen for oily skin and/or a tinted sunscreen for an Indian tone at home is as important as a normal moisturiser.
A good high SPF 50 sun cream will give you the appropriate level of UVA, UVB protection which is important to stop pigmentation, dark spots and premature aging for Indian skin. Labels such as PA++++ meaning the highest level of UVA protection, are something to consider when selecting the best everyday sunscreen. Even if you do not see the sun as much lately, you can apply sunscreen as another shield against daily invisible damage.
What most of us do not know is that sun exposure is not seasonal! Regardless of whether it is summer, winter, or monsoons, wearing sunscreen in rainy seasons is just as important as wearing it on a sunny day, because UV rays can filter through clouds. There are lighter, non-greasy formulas for people with oily or acne prone skin, but tinted formulas can also help in avoiding a white cast on darker skin tones.
Options like Albizzia sun protection that are science and technology based offer hydration along with powerful filters, making them a reliable option for everyday wear. When you add sunscreen into your routine every morning, whether you are inside, in an office, or outside on the road, you have created the strongest line of defence you can have for healthy, glowing skin.
At the end of the day all the moisturisers, serums that you apply or even makeup will not replace sunscreen. Sunscreen is the only product that truly makes a skincare regime. You should think of it as not just a cosmetic, it is your skincare .
