Did you know
There are two types of ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun, UVB and UVA. If we talk about UVB, it tests the sunscreen's SPF rating for protection. Considering the environment of Pakistan and its warmth, SPF 30 is considered a good and appropriate rating. Knowing this, some women may even complain that they do not get the protection they need despite using the correct rated SPF sunscreen. One reason for this may be that you are not choosing the required amount of SPF sunscreen. We can give you a quick guide on quantity, so the standard is that it is usually sufficient to use an ounce of sunscreen on your skin which is directly affected by the sun's rays. Such as mouth, hands, arms, neck, etc.
In that case, you should either use an SPF sunscreen with a rating of more than 30 or increase the amount of sunscreen with an existing rating. Furthermore, the PA rating is recorded on the sunscreen for protection from UVA rays. The more + signs are listed next to PA, the better the sunscreen will provide protection to your skin.
Another important thing
Sunscreen is also available in spray and powder form, however you should always choose sunscreen made from creamy ingredients. Spray and powder sunscreen contains some nanoparticles that can be absorbed into your skin and blood vessels and cause health problems. Also, if you are using sunscreen for walking and swimming, make sure that your sunscreen has the ability to withstand water and sweat.
Sunscreen components
Be sure to take a look at the ingredients before buying sunscreen.

They cause changes in the color and tone of your skin, which is not pleasant.
Sunscreen for children
Children need sunscreen as much as adults do. However, be careful when choosing sunscreen for children. Children's skin is sensitive and many components of sunscreen can cause allergies in children. Get sunscreen designed specifically for children. Children's sunscreen should not contain ingredients such as para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and benzophenone. Now there are SPF clothes for children.
For acne prone skin
If your skin is oily or has acne on your skin, it is advisable to use sunscreen based on water formula for such skin. One of the great benefits of sunscreen with oily and acne prone skin is that it does not allow fine lines to appear on your skin and break the skin.
