1. UV Radiation & Its Effects on Indian Skin
Indian skin is prone to hyperpigmentation due to the high melanin content, making it more susceptible to dark spots and pigmentation. UV radiation from the sun triggers the production of excess melanin, leading to these skin concerns. Regular sunscreen use helps block harmful UV rays and prevents this damage.

2. Choosing the Right Sunscreen
It’s essential to choose a sunscreen that suits your skin type. For oily skin, opt for gel-based, oil-free formulas. For dry skin, a cream-based sunscreen with added hydration is ideal. Make sure the sunscreen offers broad-spectrum protection (against both UVA and UVB rays) with SPF 30 or higher.

3. Reapplying Sunscreen
Sunscreen needs to be reapplied every 2 hours, especially if you’re exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods. Even indoor environments with exposure to screens and artificial lighting require sunscreen protection.
