What's the ideal SPF for daily use?

At least SPF 30 for daily use. SPF 50 for outdoor activities or skin that burns easily.

What's the difference between chemical and physical sunscreen?

Chemical absorbs UV rays, has a light texture but needs 15 minutes to set. Physical reflects UV rays, works instantly but can leave a white cast.

Do I need sunscreen indoors?

Yes! UV rays can pass through glass. Plus, blue light from gadgets can also damage your skin.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is the MOST IMPORTANT skincare step. It protects skin from UV damage that causes premature aging, dark spots, and even skin cancer.

🎯 Sunscreen Functions

✓Protects skin from UVA (aging) and UVB (sunburn) rays
✓Prevents dark spots and hyperpigmentation
✓Prevents premature aging (photoaging)
✓Protects against skin cancer
✓Maintains skincare routine results (many actives are UV-sensitive)

🛒 How to Choose the Right One

Minimum SPF 30 for daily use, SPF 50 for outdoor activities

Choose broad spectrum (UVA and UVB protection)

Physical sunscreen for sensitive skin, chemical for a lighter finish

Check the PA rating (PA++++ is the highest)

Choose one that doesn't leave a white cast if you have darker skin
