FAQ's
What is the difference between SPF and PA rating?
SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures protection against UVB rays, which cause sunburn. The higher the SPF, the greater the protection. For example, SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays.
PA (Protection Grade of UVA) indicates protection against UVA rays, which contribute to aging and DNA damage. The more plus signs (e.g., PA +++, PA ++++) after PA, the stronger the protection against UVA rays.
Can I use sunscreen on sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Look for non-comedogenic, oil-free, fragrance-free, and mineral-based sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to avoid irritation and clogged pores.
Can I use sunscreen in combination with other skincare products?
Yes, apply sunscreen last, after moisturizers, serums, and treatments, to ensure effective protection.
Does sunscreen help with skin aging?
Consistent sunscreen use helps prevent premature aging, wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots by protecting against UVA-induced photoaging and collagen breakdown.
What is the best sunscreen for acne-prone skin?
Choose oil-free, non-comedogenic, matte sunscreens or mineral-based options with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for acne-prone skin.
Can sunscreen help with skin conditions like eczema or rosacea?
Physical sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are recommended for sensitive skin conditions like eczema or rosacea, as they minimize irritation and protect against UV-triggered flare-ups.
Does sunscreen need to be applied before or after moisturizer?
Sunscreen should be applied last, after your moisturizer, as the final step in your skincare routine. This allows the sunscreen to form an effective barrier on top of the skin to protect against UV rays.
Is it safe to use sunscreen during pregnancy?
Mineral sunscreens like ours with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are recommended during pregnancy, as they are less likely to irritate skin or be absorbed. However, always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
