Sunscreen in Chennai: How to Choose and Use It Right

Chennai's sun is strong all year round. Sunscreen is not only for holidays — it is daily skin care, and the most effective anti-ageing and anti-pigmentation step there is.

Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen (UVA + UVB) with SPF 30 or above. For oily or acne-prone skin, a gel or matte-finish formula usually suits best.

How to use it

Apply a generous amount — about a fingertip length for the face — 15–20 minutes before going out.
Reapply every 2–3 hours outdoors, and after sweating or swimming.
Do not forget the ears, neck and back of the hands.
Sunscreen is for everyone, including children and people with darker skin.

Regular sunscreen use helps prevent tanning, pigmentation, premature ageing and skin cancer. If you are unsure which formula suits your skin, ask at your consultation.
