If you only ever use one skincare product, make it sunscreen. Up to 80% of visible skin ageing — fine lines, dark spots, loss of firmness — is caused by UV exposure. The good news: a daily SPF habit is the single most effective thing you can do for your skin.
Yes, even on cloudy days
UVA rays penetrate clouds, glass, and shade. They are the silent culprits behind premature ageing and pigmentation. Translation: your skin sees the sun even when you do not.
How much is enough?
- Two finger lengths for face and neck. Yes, that much.
- SPF 30 or higher for daily wear; SPF 50+ if you are spending hours outdoors.
- Reapply every two hours if you are out in direct sun, or after swimming or sweating.
No more white cast excuses
Modern sunscreens have come a long way. Today’s formulas blend invisibly into Indian skin tones, layer well under makeup, and feel weightless. There is no reason to skip it.
