Sunscreens are a must in your vanity during the summer season to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays. In a country like India, where the Ultra Violet index remains high on even least sunny days, sun protection becomes a necessity rather than a luxury. Applying sunscreen before you head out is the easiest way to help your exposed skin to build a shield against harmful rays of the sun.

The sun damage caused due to these rays may be harmful to your skin, in the long run, causing skin ailments like redness, skin burning and tanning. The sunscreens absorb these rays so that the skin remains unaffected. The SPF or Sun Protection Factor is the measure of UVB (Ultra Violet B) protection and the ‘+’ ratings measure the UVB protection for a commercial sunscreen.

With so many beauty brands emerging in India, it becomes a little tricky to decide which one would be best to opt for. Well, don't worry because we are here to solve all your skin damage woes.
