Sunscreen is an important part of our skin care routine. Whether we go out for a few hours or enjoy a beach-pool vacation… applying sunscreen is essential. It protects our skin from harmful UV rays, sunlight and heat. People know the role and importance of sunscreen, but they make many mistakes while choosing it. While selecting it, everything from SPF to skin type should be taken care of. We are going to tell you how to choose sunscreen in this summer skin care routine.
How does sunscreen work
Sunscreen contains many chemical particles which work to block and observe the UV rays. Its physical particles contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide which protect the skin from UV radiation. The chemical ingredients, on the other hand, observe the Sun's rays and work to release energy from the heat.
How to choose the right sunscreen
Whenever you choose sunscreen, first of all know whether you are suffering from any kind of allergy. You should also know that the ingredients of sunscreen are not affecting your hormonal balance.
First of all, keep in mind the SPF ie Sun Protection Factor. First of all, know for how long you face UVB light. To avoid UV rays, one should choose a sunscreen with at least 15 SPF, but experts recommend using a cream with 30 SPF. It is effective in protecting about 97 percent from UVP.
It is also important to know about the ingredients of sunscreen. See if the sunscreen you are going to buy contains titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or not. By the way, it is also necessary to have Vitamin A in sunscreen.
Everyone's skin is different, so while choosing a sunscreen, one should also focus on its formula. There are gel, cream or many other formulas for sunscreen which protect the skin from darkness and UVB. If you want, you can also buy sunscreen spray, but for this, first take expert advice.
