1- Why makes Oxybenzone and OMC bad for my skin?
Oxybenzone and OMC are organic ingredients that protect the skin by absorbing the harmful UV rays from the sun instead of reflecting them away. But it gets readily absorbed into the skin causing it to get diluted into the blood and cause certain hormonal imbalances. Octinoxate can also cause allergic reactions after exposure to ultraviolet light causing rashes and irritation.
2- Where does it fit in my routine? Cleanser → Toner → Serum → Moisturizer → SPF 50 Sunscreen
3- Do I need to wear sunscreen even if it's not sunny? Sunscreen needs to be worn every day, even if you are indoors or it's cloudy outside because even then upto 80% of the sun’s harmful UV rays can penetrate into the skin.
4- What is the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreen?
Chemical sunscreens act as a sponge and absorb all the harmful sun rays, which have the chance of penetrating into the skin and having harmful effects on your body. Whereas physical sunscreens sit on your skin and act as a shield to reflect away the sun rays without letting them enter the skin.
5- What is SPF and what does the SPF number mean?
SPF stands for sun protection factor. It’s the measure of how much UV can pass through the protective screen. The higher the SPF number, the lesser UV rays can pass through.
6- What is PA+++ mean?
PA is a rating system to show how much the sunscreen protects against UVA rays. PA+ = Some UVA protection. PA++ = Moderate UVA protection. PA+++ = High UVA protection
7- How much sunscreens should I apply?
For an average-sized human, at least 1 teaspoon of sunscreen should be applied to each part of the body i.e. face, each arm, each leg etc.
8- Can I use this on other parts of my body?
Yes, you can! The skin on the face is the most delicate and sensitive, and this sunscreen is formulated to be perfectly safe for use, making it usable on any other part of the body.
9- Do I need to use sunscreen on other parts of my body?
Absolutely yes! The skin all over your body needs sun protection, as even your hands, legs etc are prone to sunburns, photodamage and other signs of sun exposure.
