We need to apply sunscreen to protect against UVA and UVB rays as well as HEV emissions. While UVA and UVB are natural and can affect you indoors, HEV are artificial and only affect you indoors. Read on to discover how applying sunscreen indoors can help protect damage from these radiations.

1. Halt early ageing: UVA rays penetrate deeply to cause damage as they can infiltrate through window glass and also on cloudy days. This effect may not show up as sunburn but as skin damage below the epidermis as spots. Such exposure can also lead to skin elasticity loss and wrinkles. As UVA affects you without showing any signs of tanning or burning, the safest way to protect yourself is broad spectrum sunblock.

2. Shield yourself from skin cancer: UVB rays can damage your skin in sunlit rooms, by your windows or even in your cars. UVB exposure leads to redness, inflammation and consequently, sunburn. Once this sunburn leaves, the cells below are vulnerable to further damage with an increased risk of developing cancer.

3. Block blue light: Natural blue light is visible in the light spectrum and part of sunlight, however, artificial blue light is produced from digital screens such as your mobile, laptop, tablet and television. Free radicals formed by blue light can lead to age spots from increased melanin and sagging skin from decreased collagen. Extended exposure i.e. an hour and above can cause cell shrinkage or even cell termination.

4. Boost skincare: Skincare products will fall short of their potential should you not use sunscreen with at least SPF 30+, as it supports anti-ageing. For best results, apply sunscreen after doing your CTM (1. Cleanser 2. Toner 3. Moisturiser) routine. You can also incorporate serums and oils accordingly.

5. Help in hydration: Ayur Herbals’ sunscreens protect skin from UV rays while moisturising your skin. Packed with natural ingredients like chandan, cucumber and watermelon, these sunscreens work as daily moisturisers and make-up add ons.

Why should you try Ayur Herbals’ Sunscreen?

Ayur’s sunscreens provide protection from both UVA and UVB rays. The Protection Grade of UVA, known as PA+, symbolises how powerful the sunscreen is in protecting against UVA rays. Ayur’s sunscreens range from PA+ , some UVA protection, to PA++++, the gold standard for maximum defense. While SPF, Sun Protection Factor, indicates how well the sunscreen protects from UVB rays. Ayur’s sunscreens range from SPF 15 to SPF 50 and the number generally means that it takes that much longer for the skin to burn compared to no sunscreen application.
