Sunscreen

---

Sunscreen protects our skin from dangerous ultraviolet rays like a protective cover. These ultraviolet rays cause tanning, redness, irritation.

As we all know that the ozone layer has become very weak, so the sun rays directly affect the earth. And as soon as we step out of our house (when exposed to sunlight), it affects our skin, sometimes it also becomes the cause of skin cancer. In such a situation, the use of sunscreen lotion or cream becomes very necessary while going out.

We get many benefits from this-

Sunscreen does not let our skin get sunburn.

Does not let tanning happen.

Protects the health of the skin.

Protects from skin cancer.

Protects from premature aging.

Protects the skin from hyperpigmentation.

And also improves the texture of the skin.

So when we have to go out somewhere, we apply sunscreen cream or lotion 15 to 20 minutes before so that it gets absorbed well in our skin, and protects our skin from ultraviolet rays.

And sunscreen also protects our skin from getting dehydrated.

🌞How long do you stay exposed to the sun?

We also get vitamin D from the sun rays, which is very essential for our body. We get this vitamin D from the morning sun. That is why I sit in the sun for 30 minutes in the morning (7 to 7:30), which I get in the balcony of my house.

I have to go out in the sun every day to dry clothes and bring back the dried clothes.

And although I stay at home, I do not need to go out in the sun, sometimes I have to come in contact with the sun to go to the market for some work.

🌞Do you use sunscreen daily?

Yes, I use sunscreen every day at least once in the morning.

But I don't use too much sunscreen because my skin is sensitive. And using too much sunscreen on sensitive skin can be harmful. Because some chemicals are also used in making sunscreen, which are harmful for the skin.

🌞Do you know how many times you should apply sunscreen in a day?

Applying sunscreen once is not enough because it becomes normal in 4 to 5 hours. If we are outside and exposed to the sun, then we must apply sunscreen every 4 hours.

I think if we are at home, then applying sunscreen once is enough.

While applying sunscreen on the face, instead of rubbing it, it should be applied by gently patting because it does not cause irritation and is applied evenly.

🌞Do you know what protection levels mean and which one do you use daily?

Along with the many benefits of sunscreen, there are some disadvantages as well. Like chemical damage, skin allergy, sometimes when sunscreen goes into the eyes while applying, it causes irritation in the eyes.

While buying sunscreen, one should always buy the one with higher SPF i.e. 30 or 50. It is always written on the packet of sunscreen that SPF 15, SPF 30, or SPF 50. SPF means Sun Protection Factor, that is, the higher the SPF of the sunscreen, the more it will prevent ultraviolet rays from reaching the skin.

While buying sunscreen, it is important to know what kind of sun filters it is made of. It is best to buy a sunscreen that uses physical or mineral filters such as zinc oxide or titanium oxide.

For dry skin, we should always buy sunscreens with moisturizing elements.

And for oily skin, we should always buy sunscreens with non-greasy, light weight, matte finish.

My skin is sensitive so I prefer to apply physical sunscreen. Which contains ingredients like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Since these ingredients are mild, they do not have any side effects on our skin.

I hope and believe that you all liked my post.
