Tailored with beneficial and powerful skin ingredients such as Niacinamide, Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic Acid, Pond's features a range of revolutionary sunscreens perfect for your daily skincare solutions. Before you choose the best sunscreen for your face let us take a quick overview of everything you need to know about wearing Pond's sunscreen and its benefits to your skin.
What is Sunscreen?
A sunscreen is a sun defensive cream or gel that shields your skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Harsh UVA and UVB rays have extreme potential to damage the skin cells and cause DNA mutation in your body, resulting in issues like sun damage, ageing, and in some cases, also skin cancer. In addition to all of that, UV rays are active all around the year, even on cloudy winter days when the sunlight is not directly hitting your skin.
However, sunscreen can last on your skin only for a few hours, as it tends to wear off due to constant sweating when exposed to sunlight. You must apply the sunscreen after every 2 to 3 hours to achieve complete sun protection and care.
What are the Types of Sunscreen Cream?
Sunscreens contain UV filters and active ingredients that play a crucial role in preventing harmful UV rays from reaching the deepest layer of your skin. Ideally, there are only two types of sunscreen-physical and chemical sunscreen. A physical sunscreen stays on the outermost layer of your skin, blocking the UV rays from entering your skin. Whereas, a chemical sunscreen goes into the deepest layer of your skin, activating the chemical ingredients present in the sunscreen. It absorbs the UV radiation and converts it to energy to create a shield against harmful UV rays.
Now that you have understood the types of face sunscreens, let us look at the different forms of physical sunscreen available to help choose the top sunscreen for your face.
-
Cream-Based Sunscreen: A sun block cream is a type of sunscreen for the face which has a thick creamy consistency, suitable for dry and normal skin types. A sunscreen cream offers moisturising effects on the skin so that your dry skin is not dehydrated when exposed to direct sunlight.A cream-based sunscreen is one of the best sunscreens for the face, especially for those with dry skin, providing high coverage and a dewy finish look.
-
Gel-Based Sunscreen: Formulated with a light and watery texture, a gel-based sunscreen is most suitable for people with oily and combination skin types.
