It is very important to choose the right sunscreen according to your skin type.

Using the wrong sunscreen does not benefit the skin; instead, it can cause harm, such as acne or dryness.

To avoid stickiness, choose a 'gel-based' or 'matte-finish' sunscreen.

To maintain moisture in the skin, choose a 'cream-based' or moisturizing sunscreen.

Physical sunscreens containing zinc oxide are considered the safest for preventing sunburn.

Always choose a sunscreen that provides both UVA and UVB protection.

To prevent pores from becoming clogged, choose 'non-comedogenic' products.

Given the Indian climate, use an SPF of at least 30 or 50.

For better protection, prioritize sunscreens with PA+++.
