I am getting regular queries on, How to decide a good Sunscreen Lotion/Cream for summer. Instead of replying to these queries on one to one basis, I decided to write a Post on op 10 Best Sunscreen Cream (SPF) Available in India for summer 2018

Why Sunscreen is Important?

Myths about SunScreen

Some people think that SPF is enough. However to get protection from UVA rays which causes premature aging and wrinkles, you need to protect your skin for UVA rays as well and for that you need at least PA++. Thus, always choose sunscreen with SPF and PA++ formula, both.

Some people believe that applying sunscreen once in a day is sufficient. However the truth is, reapplication is required for complete day time protection from harsh sun rays.

Some people think that they don’t need sunscreen because they work indoor. They drive care and spend time in AC. Well, you still need Sun Screen 🙂

What is SPF, UVA, UVB & PA++ Mentioned on Sunscreen

There are mainly there types of harsh Sun rays, UVA, UVB & UVC. We humans don’t need to worry about UVC rays, because the ozone layer absorbs this (UVA) type of harsh rays. However, UVA and UVB sun rays are causing problems. UVA types of sun rays are responsible for premature aging, even out skin tone and wrinkles. And UVB types of sun rays are responsible for sun burn and sun tanning.

Now, SPF (Sun Protection Factor) mentioned on sunscreen protects your skin from UVB rays and PA++ mentioned on sunscreen protects your skin from UVA rays. Thus, you should always buy sunscreen lotion or moisturizer with SPF and PA++ both.

How to Choose Right Sunscreen for Your Skin Type?

If you got Oily Skim, You should choose sunscreen which are matte finish Gel Based Sunscreen. If you have dry skin, you can choose rich balms and creams with good SPF 30 at least. If you got sensitive skin which is acne prone, your sunscreen should contain Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide.

Zinc Oxide Sunscreens for Sensitive Skin

If you have watched the Video Above, Zinc Oxide Sunscreens are highly recommended sunscreens for the people with sensitive skin. According to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide are two types of minerals which are safe to wear on the skin. You might be getting confused with the word Minerals. So Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide based sunscreens are categorized under mineral sunscreens.

How Are Mineral Sunscreens Different than others?

Unlike others, Mineral Sunscreens like Zinc Oxide Sunscreens & Titanium Dioxide based sunscreens which sit on top of your skin and block the harsh sun rays affecting your facial skin.

Why are Zinc Oxide Sunscreens good for Sensitive Skin?

Zinc Oxide Sunscreens usually don’t penetrate deeper into your skin. Instead, they stay on top of your skin which works better for the people with sensitive skin.

    • Thank you Archana. Vichy is absolutely amazing, one of my favorite too. I love their Day cream too. Any other products you have tried?

      Good to see you here babe, stay connected 🙂

  1. I am not sure why would you suggest sunscreen which has paraben in it. Anything that has paraben is red flag to me. International skincare market is trying hard to steer away from using parabens in their skincare product. India is far behind.
    This list is however can be considered on how it feels on the skin versus how good it is for your skin and health.

    • Yes. We should use only the paraben free and paraben alternative free Skin Care Products as suggested by Dermatologists. And also we need to use only which suites our skin type like oily, dry or sensitive skin friendly sunscreens. here list of paraben free sunscreen lotions, gels and creams available for buy online. https://www.theskinstore.in/body-part/sunscreen.html Even few sunscreens are chemical free.
