CHOOSE A SUNSCREEN ACCORDING TO YOUR SKIN

Whether it's going to the beach, shopping, 'hanging out' with friends or taking a walk with the family, whether the sky is bright or dark clouds are hovering, sunscreen is an essential part of your daily life. Must be an indispensable item. Be sure to use sunscreen on your skin before leaving the house, so that you can protect your skin. The sun's dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays not only damage your skin, but also make it age prematurely. In addition, there are some researches, which say that ultraviolet rays falling directly on human skin cause cancer.

Using sunscreen is an important part of your skin care routine. Sunscreens are available in the market in many forms, such as lotions, gels, sticks, etc. SPF sunscreen is one of them. Knowing so many types can make many women dizzy, but if you love yourself and your skin, then this should not be a problem for you.

DO YOU KNOW

There are two types of ultraviolet rays from the sun, UVB and UVA. When it comes to UVB, the SPF rating of a sunscreen is checked for protection against it. SPF 30 is considered to be a good and suitable rating considering the climate and heat of Pakistan. After learning this, some women may even complain that they don't get the protection they need despite using an SPF sunscreen with the correct rating. One of the reasons for this could be that you are not choosing the right amount of SPF sunscreen. We can give you a quick guide on how much to use, and so the standard rule of thumb is that one ounce of sunscreen is usually sufficient for your skin that is directly exposed to the sun's rays. Like mouth, hands, arms, neck etc.

In such a situation, you should either use a sunscreen with an SPF rating higher than 30 or increase the amount of sunscreen to the current rating. Additionally, sunscreens have a PA rating listed for protection against UVA rays. The more + signs next to PA, the more protection the sunscreen will provide to your skin.

ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING

Sunscreens are also available in spray and powder forms, but you should always opt for a cream-based sunscreen. Spray and powder sunscreens contain nanoparticles, which can be absorbed into your skin and blood vessels and cause health problems. Also, if you're using sunscreen for walking and swimming, make sure your sunscreen is water and sweat resistant.

SUNSCREEN INGREDIENTS

Before buying a sunscreen, be sure to check its ingredients. Sunscreen often contains titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, these ingredients protect human skin from the sun's rays, but research has shown that both of these ingredients are actually harmful to human skin. They cause changes in the color and tone of your skin, which is not pleasant.

SUNSCREEN FOR CHILDREN

Children need sunscreen just as much as adults. However, be careful when choosing sunscreen for children. Children have sensitive skin and many ingredients in sunscreens can cause allergic reactions in children. Use a sunscreen that is specially formulated for children. Children's sunscreens should not contain ingredients such as para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and benzophenones. Now there are also SPF clothes for children.

FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

If you have oily or acne-prone skin, using a water-based sunscreen is appropriate. A major benefit of a water-based sunscreen on oily and acne-prone skin is that it prevents fine lines and breakouts on your skin.

FOR DRY SKIN

Moisturizing sunscreens are best for dry skin. Sunscreens with ingredients like lanolin, various oils and silicone are best for this skin type.

IMPORTANT TIPS

Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before leaving home.

•  You can apply sunscreen and make up over it.
• Wear cotton clothes to go outside. These fabrics naturally contain SPF4

The sun's rays are at their peak and very intense during the afternoon and afternoon, avoid going out of the house during these times.

Always wear sunglasses when going out of the house.

When going out, cover yourself as much as you can. In this regard, the use of cap, scarf, gloves etc. is beneficial.
