Between the supplements and face serums, do not forget the most essential product for your skin: sunscreen!
Sunny days are excellent for enjoying outdoor activities. However, harmful rays can badly damage your skin because you are exposed to them in more ways than you can imagine. And when you are not protected with sunscreen, even limited exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays can damage your skin. The golden tan that you admire is actually the earliest sign of sun damage because your skin’s outer layers darken to block out the sun. Sunscreen for the face is necessary to prevent further and irreversible damage to your skin.
Even if it is a cloudy day, you still need sunscreen. The harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun penetrate through clouds and can reach through your car and house windows. Although the damage is less compared to direct sunlight, it still speeds up your skin's aging process.
Sunscreen for the face is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to prevent premature aging.
How does CIEL Cooling Sunblock SPF 50 protect your skin?
This sunblock cream provides superior broad-spectrum protection against sunburn, suntan, and premature skin aging due to the powerful antioxidants and ingredients present in it. It contains jojoba seed oil, fleece flower, cocoa butter, licorice, and chamomile that work together to protect your skin from free radical damage, and provides a soothing effect. It acts as a barrier to sunlight and is highly effective in protecting your skin from the harmful UV radiation of the sun.
What SPF and PA level do you need?
You may have seen SPF and PA labels on your sunscreen but do you really know what they mean?
SPF stands for sun protection factor which tells you about the degree of UVB protection. PA stands for the protection grade of UVA rays which indicates the level of UVA protection.
Sunscreens with higher SPF provide more protection from UVB rays for a long time. Although no sunscreen can completely block sun rays, SPF of at least 40 can block up to 97% of UVB rays. CIEL Cooling Sunblock SPF 50, however, blocks up to 98% of UVB rays. If you spend a lot of time in the sun, even 1% of sunscreen protection can make a great difference for your skin in the long run!
When it comes to UVA rays, + signs after PA means a higher level of protection. For that reason, it is recommended to use sunscreen with a PA level of at least +++ to prevent premature skin aging.
How to choose the right sunscreen for the face?
Although it is important to purchase a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays, choosing the right sunscreen for your skin type is the most important. Depending on your skin, look for the ingredients present in the sunscreen. If you have an oily skin type, look for the best sunscreen for oily skin in India and do the same thing for other skin types.
Make sure to always apply sunscreen every two hours all over your face and exposed areas like ears, neck, hands, and toes. You can also consider consulting a dermatologist if you have a history of irritation or rashes with the use of skincare products.
