- It is always assumed that people with light skin tone should use sunscreen. But irrespective of your skin tone you have to apply sunscreen. Your skin colour does not protect you from the damage caused by the harsh sun rays. Regardless of your race and your origin, your skin is subject to sun damage.
- Most of us think that application of sunscreen will create a barrier and your skin will not be able to absorb vitamin D. You can increase your vitamin D intake by eating eggs and fish. Even intake of milk helps to increase vitamin D in your body.
- Most of us do not apply sunscreen on dull and cloudy days. Even on cloudy days, sun’s rays can penetrate through the clouds. Also water and sand can reflect the UV rays and cause sunburn. Snow also reflects 80% of the sun’s ray. So if you are heading to a cold place, do apply sunscreen. Also if think that travelling by your private vehicle can help you avoid the sun, you are mistaken. Sun’s rays reflect on the windows of your car and can cause skin damage.
- Kids below 6 years should not be exposed to too much of sun. The reason is their skin is too sensitive plus sunscreen cannot be applied to them as the chemicals can cause skin issues. But kids above 6 years can apply sunscreen on daily basis.
- Most of us forget to re-apply sunscreen. Even if it is water-proof and sweat-proof, sunscreen needs to be re-applied in 2 hours. In fact it is important that you reapply it often if you swim or sweat a lot.
- Choosing the right sunscreen is important. Always choose sunscreen that gives you broad spectrum coverage and has an SPF of 15 and higher.
