What Is Sunscreen?

Sunscreen, also known as sun cream or sunblock, is a skincare product that is applied on the skin to provide protection against the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) rays. Sunscreens come with various SPF and PA protection ranges. This defines the ability of a sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

The primary purpose of sunscreen is to prevent sunburns and premature ageing. It is also said to reduce the risk of skin cancer caused by overexposure to UV radiation. Depending on the type and formulation of a sunscreen, it works by absorbing or reflecting UV rays. Hence, if you want to protect your face, sunscreen is a must. It is also imperative that you wear sunscreen daily and reapply in a few hours if possible.

Benefits Of Using Sunscreen

Using sunscreen on a regular basis has various benefits for your skin. Here are some benefits of using sunscreen daily:

1. Blocks Harmful Sun Rays:
   Sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 can successfully block harmful UV rays and protect your skin from various skin concerns such as sunburns, redness, irritation, and hyperpigmentation.

2. Lowers Risk of Cancer:
   A good quality sunscreen can reduce the risk of skin cancer by preventing harmful UV rays from penetrating the skin and causing cell damage.

3. Controls Pre-Mature Ageing:
   Sun damage is one of the leading causes of premature ageing. Sunscreen protects against the signs of ageing such as wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots by creating a barrier around the skin.

4. Maintains Even Skin Tone:
   Regular application of sunscreen can help give you an even skin tone by protecting the skin from sun damage that can cause discolouration.

5. Enhances Skincare Effectiveness:
   Sunscreen helps to enhance the effectiveness of other skincare products, as it prevents sun damage from interfering with any skincare product and its efficacy.

Types Of Sunscreens

The two main types of sunscreens are physical sunscreens and chemical sunscreens. Physical sunscreens, also known as mineral sunscreens, work by forming a barrier on the skin that reflects UV radiation. Meanwhile, chemical sunscreens work by absorbing UV radiation, converting it into heat energy and releasing it from the body. Although both types of sunscreens have their pros and cons, physical sunscreens are considered to be safer for the skin.

Physical sunscreens are available in various formulations. Following are the types of sunscreens based on formulations:

1. Cream sunscreen:Cream sunscreens, as the name suggests, have a slightly thicker and creamy consistency. It provides a moisturising effect which makes it one of the best sunscreens for dry skin or normal skin. Cream sunscreens are easy to apply and provide good coverage while leaving you with a dewy look.

2. Gel sunscreen:Gel sunscreen has a lightweight, water-based texture that makes it a perfect sunscreen for oily skin or acne-prone skin. It protects your skin without making it oily or greasy. It is easy to apply, quickly absorbs into the skin, and provides a matte finish.

3. Serum sunscreen:Serum sunscreens are lightweight and have a watery texture. They usually come with a certain percentage of active ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, etc. that provide additional benefits to the skin. It is ideal for people with oily or combination skin and can also be used as a primer before applying makeup.
