We don’t need to stress enough the importance of sunscreens! sun damage can cause skin cancer pigmentation
Premature aging, loss of collagen. You have got to use sunscreen whether you are home or if it raining /snowing and reapply after 2-3 hours. In my last video on sunscreen I have already discussed physical/ mineral sunscreen is the way to go! active ingredients list zinc oxide should be a minimum of 20 percent.
It’s so much better than chemical sunscreens.
Protects our skin from premature aging fine lines, pigmentation. And very calming and anti-inflammatory for acne-prone skin unlike chemical ones
And chemical sunscreens with ingredients such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate, octisalate, avobenzone are known to disrupt our hormone and endocrine.
These chemicals have been found in breast milk even in fishes these are worst for young ones. Clean beauty is the way to go.
However, I’ll be honest not so many options we get easily available in our country and mostly all are not pure mineral /physical sunscreen there are a lot of deceiving products in the market! Most of the mineral ones here are mixed and most doctors will tell you that physical/mineral doesn’t work that well, but really good physical sunscreen is the way to go! these are my top picks
1. Z screen
easily available in India high zinc oxide concentration free of all bad chemicals and parabens. And it does not leave a white residue on the face .
Z block is another similar one to the Z screen.
Sunkage sunscreen- is another all-natural one great for very sensitive skin types and if you are on a budget make sure you reapply every 90 mins if you are outside.
Here are some other great ones that are available in India. These are the best you can get when it comes to sun protection.
Coola sunscreen - comes in many variations I like the sun's silk drops. They give protection against blue light that is visible light as well. I love multi-purpose all in one product. But all coola is nice.
Supergoop - we are huge fans of goop and Gweneth Paltrow she is the main reason for most of us to be aware of clean beauty and how harmful especially chemical sunscreens are.
This version of supergoop is the holy grail. Works as a perfect primer too.
Think sun sunscreen
Another Absolute favorite and high-quality physical sunscreen. It’s thought sport version is perfect for outdoors and when you want to workout outdoors gives maximum protection and does not irritate the skin.
Thinkbaby and kids version is perfect and safest for your little ones.
Lastly and not the least don’t fall for those complete Ayurveda organic natural ones they don’t give good protection and it’s so important to get the best against sun damage that’s the first and most important step to protect you against skin cancer, premature aging, lines wrinkles pigmentations and other skincare issues.
