Why Sunscreen is Critical in India
Sunscreen is one of the most important skincare products for Indian skin, with over 200,000 monthly searches. India receives some of the highest UV radiation levels in the world — the UV Index regularly reaches 10–11 (extreme) in summer months across most of the country. Regular sunscreen use prevents sunburn, premature ageing, hyperpigmentation (a major concern for Indian skin), and reduces the risk of skin cancer.
Understanding SPF and PA Ratings
SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures protection against UVB rays that cause sunburn. SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays; SPF 50 blocks 98%. PA rating measures UVA protection — PA+++ or PA++++ is recommended for Indian conditions. Dermatologists recommend SPF 30 minimum for daily use in India, and SPF 50+ for outdoor activities.

Sunscreen Tips for Indian Skin
Choose tinted sunscreens to avoid white cast on darker skin tones. For oily skin, use gel or fluid sunscreens. For dry skin, choose cream formulas with added moisturisation. Apply even on cloudy days — UV rays penetrate clouds.
