Best Sunscreens To Keep The Scorching Sun At Bay

There's something special about the summer months. From flowers in full bloom, to getting ready for your beach vacations ( which seem like a distant dream right now) and long bright sunny days, the season spells out vibrancy. While there are things to love about the summer it doesn't come without its cons - stickiness, humidity, the scorching sun and break outs.

While some amount of Vitamin D is essential, adding sunscreen to your skincare regime is one of the most important steps in skincare. It helps to create a protective layer between your skin and the sun, preventing your skin from the harmful UV rays that cause visible signs of ageing. Despite the fact that many of us are spending time indoors, it’s important to remember that sunscreen is a nonnegotiable necessity all year round. Be it winter or summer, protecting your skin from the sun whether or not you are directly exposed is quintessential.

The hustle bustle of daily life gets you rushing through your skincare regime and many of you forget to put it on sunscreen 30 minutes before stepping out. Considering shifting your skincare products to the washroom or toss a bottle into your hand bag or car to ensure you add this to your daily skincare routine.

Dr. Kiran Sethi, Dermatologist & Founder Isya Derm says, "Sunblock is vital to prevent aging, pigmentation,freckles, tanning and skin cancer. I prefer sunblock to sunscreen - sunblock is mineral sunblock and sunscreen is chemical based. Recently the US FDA came out with a warning that chemical sunscreens can be absorbed into the blood stream. Further, then can break down while on the skin and cause oxidative damage. So I prefer only 100% mineral and inert sunblocks. Further zinc oxide even helps protect against blue light from your phones and screens, and also from visible light from overhead light. Zinc Oxide is a mineral sunscreen type."
