Summer is here. Finally, you can switch from heavy clothing to summery dresses. It's time for the beach, ice cream, and cute hats. But it's also time to protect your skin from scorching heat and sun rays.
Despite following a skincare routine, you might find your skin in trouble. Summer doesn't make your skin dry & flaky like winters, but the heat can damage the skin internally. In extreme cases, you will find yourself struggling with sunburns, rashes, breakouts, and eczema flare-ups.
So what are you doing wrong, which can cause all these problems?
What are you missing in your skincare routine?
You might know the answer already.
Yes, you guessed it right. SUNSCREEN!
The National Library of medicine surveyed 2037 volunteers in 2018 for two years. The results were shocking but not surprising.
- Out of 2037 volunteers, 1242 volunteers did not know about sunscreens.
- 81% of the volunteers did not suffer from sunburns.
- The most common reason for the usage of sunscreens was to prevent tanning.
There is a common misconception among Indians that sunscreen prevents tanning & darkening of skin only. Yes, sunscreen does that, but there are many other things that sunscreen helps with.
Sunscreen helps avoid premature ageing, sunburns, darkening of the skin, and skin cancer, to name a few benefits apart from tanning.
But apart from lack of awareness, there are many reasons why Indians hate sunscreen and avoid using it daily. This includes greasiness, excessive sweating, and acne breakouts. The white cast is a major concern among the others.
We understand your concerns. The white cast is not the best part of sunscreen. But what if there was a 100% transparent sunscreen which feels like water and doesn't make you sweaty or oily. All this while protecting you from the sun rays & harmful UV rays.
There is one brand where you can find 100% transparent, sweatproof, water-like-formula sunscreen.
Unsweetened Beauty is a community-driven beauty brand. They started their Instagram page journey, where they usually talked about the what, why, and how of skincare. They built a community of 23,000 skin-enthusiasts who prefer knowledge over anything else in less than one year.
Unsweetened Beauty started taking their community's opinion & feedback on different products. Soon they launched their sunscreen - clear days.
What makes clear days so unique?
- Protects against tanning and skin cancer
- SPF 50
- PA++++
- Lightweight water-gel formula
- 100% invisible
- Layers well with other products
- Sweatproof
- No pilling
We have compiled a list of dos and don’ts of sunscreen.
- Always use clean fingertips when applying any product, including sunscreen.
- Apply on and around the ears, neck, eyes, immediately below the hairline, and other exposed body parts.
- Apply with your index finger around your eyes.
- Check the expiration date of your skincare products once a month.
- If you're going to toss the sunscreen's cardboard package away, make a note of the expiration date on the product, or somewhere else so that you'll remember it.
There you go! You are all prepared for summer. Now you can wear your favourite dress without worrying about sunburns and tanning.
Happy summer!
