Frequently Asked Questions

Which sunscreen is best for Indian skin?

Minimalist SPF 50 (₹249–₹299) for oily/combination skin, Lotus Herbals for dry skin, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer for active outdoor use. All are PA+++ rated for UVA protection.

Is SPF 30 sufficient in India?

No — dermatologists recommend SPF 50+ for the Indian climate. SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays; SPF 50 blocks 98%. The difference matters with prolonged outdoor exposure. Always choose SPF 50+ in India.

How much sunscreen should I apply?

A teaspoon (about 2ml) for the face alone. Most people apply 20–50% of the required amount, which halves the effective SPF. Apply 15–20 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2–3 hours when outdoors.
