Sun Care

Sun Care

Our skin faces many invisible threats. Harmful UV rays, pollution and harsh ingredients in skincare can leave lasting marks. Sky might be clear or cloudy, but the sun's rays still reach to you. Thus, suncare becomes a non-negotiable when stepping outdoors as well as while staying indoors. 

Proactive sun care not only includes preventing sunburns but also preserving the natural health and resilience of your skin. 

Understanding Sun Damage

Sun damage is visible in multiple forms. It can cause sunburn, tanning, pigmentation and dullness. Long-term unprotected exposure to the sun can even lead to premature ageing and skin cancer. 

Short-term problems like dryness, depletion of the moisture barrier, sensitivity and uneven skin tone are also quite common. 

Build the Skin Defence

An effective sun care routine covers three pillars. These are prevention, protection, and repair. 

Prevent: Antioxidants like Vitamin C protect your skin from environmental stressors. They brighten and strengthen the skin when used for longer periods. 

Protect: With advanced sunscreen formulations, you can shield your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB sun rays. 

Repair: Soothing and hydrating elements like aloe vera can replenish the moisture loss and help in skin recovery. 

What are SPF and PA, and why are they important?

Not all sunscreens are equal. SPF and PA rating guide us about how much sun protection a sunscreen provides. 

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. Higher SPF indicates strong protection against UVB rays, which are the most damaging. 

Whereas the PA rating tells us about the UVA protection capacity of the sunscreen. For instance, PA+ means low UVA protection, and PA++++ means extremely high UVA protection.

But even the most effective sunscreens need reapplication for the best protection. It ensures consistent coverage throughout the day. 

Master the sunscreen application

Along with what you use, how you use it also matters. You need to apply a generous layer of sunscreen across your face, neck and ears. Remember to apply to other exposed skin areas like the back of your hand, legs, etc. 

Reapply every 2–3 hours, especially after sweating or swimming. 

Daily application is non-negotiable, even indoors. The UV rays can penetrate through the windows also.. 

Which is the best sunscreen for your skin?

Until now, we have discovered that a sunscreen with a high SPF, like SPF 50 and a PA++++ rating, is ideal for use. Mystic Dusts’ Sunscreen Gel with Suncat DE fits perfectly into this.

A matte, non-greasy formula with no white cast. It has ingredients like Niacinamide, Ceramides, and Phospholipids, which strengthen your skin barrier and help fade dark spots.

This formula is free from sulphates, parabens and silicones, suitable for all skin types. 

Why should sunscreen be a year-round habit?

Sun rays are present not just on the hot summer days. UV rays are sneaky and come through clouds, windows and cold winter skies.
 
Regular use of sunscreen can prevent not just short-term issues of sunburn but can be a remedy to long-term challenges like premature ageing, pigmentation and loss of firmness. 

Therefore, consistency is the best defence you can give your skin for a youthful glow. 

Repairing sun damage

Even with the best protection, skin still needs recovery and care. You can pamper your skin with Vitamin C serum and Aloe Vera Gel.

But why these two? 

These two ingredients are the most effective for skin repair. 

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that neutralises the free radicals, fades dark spots and restores brightness to dull skin. Mystic Dust Vitamin C serum is fortified with Kakadu Plum, Ferulic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid. This makes it the best skin care you can give to your skin. 

Whereas, Aoe Vera Gel, a renowned remedy in indian medicine, soothes redness, calms irritated skin, and delivers lightweight hydration for overnight replenishment.

These targeted treatments strengthen your skin’s resilience and maintain a healthy, even tone.
