FAQ
1. Which sunscreen is the healthiest for your skin?
Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are considered the healthiest since they sit on the skin's surface, are non-toxic, and provide broad-spectrum protection without harsh chemicals.
2. What is your body's natural sunscreen?
Melanin absorbs UV rays and works as the body's natural sunscreen, although its protection is limited and does not compare to the safety provided by SPF.
3. What naturally protects skin from the sun?
Antioxidants like as vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols protect against UV damage, while zinc-rich clays and natural oils provide minor physical protection.
4. How can you protect yourself from UV radiation without using sunscreen?
Use shade, hats, full sleeves, sunglasses, and avoid peak solar hours. Although useful, these solutions cannot substitute proper SPF protection.
5. How can I get rid of a tan completely naturally?
Use gentle exfoliants, vitamin C-rich facials, milk or yoghurt packs, and aloe vera on a regular basis. Natural tanning requires patience and consistency.
6. Why does natural sunscreen feel different than chemical sunscreen?
Natural sunscreens form a physical protection on top of the skin, whereas chemical sunscreens soak into the skin, resulting in a different texture and finish.
7. Does natural sunscreen block body pores?
No. Mineral sunscreens are non-comedogenic and suitable for acne-prone areas such as the chest, shoulders, and back.
8. Are natural sunscreens suitable for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?
Absolutely. Natural mineral sunscreens are soft, fragrance-free, and relaxing, making them ideal for anyone with sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
9. Can I use natural sunscreen on newly shaven arms and legs?
Yes! Mineral sunscreens are less irritating on freshly shaven skin and assist to reduce redness.
10. Do natural sunscreens protect against "heat ageing"?
Yes. Mineral filters protect the skin from UV and infrared rays, which contribute to collagen breakdown and early wrinkles.
