Avoid Sun Damage! Best Skincare Tips for Summer | Dr. Rakshita Singh #drrakshitasingh #skincare

[0:00]A doctor's guide to protection, I mean sun protection. See, sun has two harmful rays, UVA and UVB. Which can cause sunburn, aging and even skin cancer. So, it is very important to wear protection. Now the question is which brand of sunscreen should be used? See, sunscreens are of two types, physical and chemical. It contains zinc oxide and titanium oxide, which sends the rays back. But it has a problem of being a little white cast. On the other hand, it has carbon compounds, which absorb the rays inside. It doesn't leave white cast, but it is comparatively weak, so it has to be reapplied again and again. And chemicals go inside, so some people are scared of it. But to be honest, both are safe sunscreens. After this, you have to decide the value of SPF and PA. SPF, Sun Protection Factor, at least 40 or 50 should be written in front of it and PA, three or four plus signs should be written. But now I will tell you a shocking thing. There is no regulation on sunscreens in India. So it is possible that it is written 40-50, but it delivers only 20 or 30. Like I went to Lakme Lab last month, where there were 2-3 live detector tests. One was photo stability test, where there were 2 sunscreens, one Lakme and the other was regular sunscreen. In Lakme, only 0.6 rays were absorbed, which means Lakme was better. The second was pigmentation protection lie detector test, in which UV rays penetrated regularly but not from Lakme. Basically, Lakme has been in-vivo tested since 2015. So, after reading the results of that, I took this dry matte sunscreen, because SPF 52.25 and PA 33.34 is delivered in this. And it does not leave white cast. So if you are also a sunscreen lover like me, you can go for the same. So, tell your baby also all this knowledge. She will be impressed. Is there a baby? If not, follow anyway, something about that too!
