Sunscreen is an essential part of skincare, but with so much misinformation floating around, it’s easy to fall for common myths that can compromise your skin’s health. To ensure you’re getting the best protection, let’s debunk some popular sunscreen myths and introduce The Skin Story range of sunscreens – Moringa Sunscreen, Glowing Beetroot Sunscreen, and Sunscreen Serum – formulated to provide superior sun defense.
Myth 1: Sunscreen is Only Necessary on Sunny Days
One of the most common misconceptions is that sunscreen is only needed when the sun is shining. In reality, harmful UV rays penetrate through clouds and even windows, leading to premature aging, pigmentation, and skin damage. Applying The Skin Story Moringa Sunscreen, enriched with natural moringa extracts, ensures broad-spectrum protection all year round.
Myth 2: Higher SPF Means All-Day Protection
While a higher SPF offers better protection, no sunscreen lasts all day. Reapplication every two hours is crucial, especially if you're sweating or swimming. The Skin Story Glowing Beetroot Sunscreen not only provides SPF protection but also enhances your skin’s radiance with the goodness of beetroot extracts.
Myth 3: Sunscreen Makes Your Skin Oily and Clogs Pores
Many people avoid sunscreen, fearing it will make their skin greasy. However, The Skin Story Sunscreen Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula that provides non-greasy protection while nourishing the skin. It’s perfect for those who want a breathable, comfortable sunscreen option.
Myth 4: You Don’t Need Sunscreen Indoors
Even when you're indoors, blue light from screens and UV rays from windows can cause skin damage. Using The Skin Story Sunscreen Serum ensures continuous protection without feeling heavy on your skin.
Myth 5: Makeup with SPF is Enough
While makeup with SPF provides some protection, it’s not a substitute for sunscreen. The coverage is often uneven, and the SPF level may not be high enough to shield against sun damage. Layering The Skin Story Glowing Beetroot Sunscreen under makeup ensures full protection without compromising your beauty routine.
The Right Way to Use Sunscreen
-
Apply sunscreen generously 15-20 minutes before sun exposure.
-
Reapply every two hours, especially after sweating or swimming.
-
Use enough product—about a nickel-sized amount for the face and a shot glass-sized amount for the body.
-
Don’t forget areas like ears, neck, and hands.
Conclusion
Understanding the truth about sunscreen helps you make informed choices for your skin. With The Skin Story range of sunscreens, you can enjoy summer without worrying about UV damage. Stay protected, stay glowing!
