If you are out in the sun for a long time either working or enjoying a sunbath on the beach, it is better to reapply sunscreen after every two hours to protect your skin from sunburns. In today's world, wearing sunscreen has become crucial in maintaining healthy skin, preventing skin cancer, and protecting against premature ageing.

Vitamin C sunscreen for the face can enhance your skin’s ability to protect itself from sun damage significantly by reducing the formation of sunburn cells by nearly 60 percent.It is also fairly photostable and can be used to protect other less stable UV filters (like famous UVA blocker, avobenzone) in the formula. The SPF 50 and P+++ sunscreen protects the skin from premature signs of ageing caused by harmful UV rays.

Our chemical-free sunscreen winner is Lotus Organics+ Sheer Brightening Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++, made with a breakthrough formulation to provide optimum sun protection with an added brightening effect. Its manufacturer only says it's registered "as a new cosmetic ingredient in the EU", but it is probably not an officially approved sunscreen filter (yet). Apply this lotion gel equitably all over, neck and other uncovered parts of your body each time you go out in the sun.

The mineral-based formula creates a physical barrier that reflects the sun's rays, preventing them from reaching the skin's surface. Lotus Organics+ Ultra Matte Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++ is ideal for those seeking a shine-free and mattifying sunscreen. The problem with it though is that it can also sensitize and irritate the skin quite easily when it comes in leave-on formulas. Choosing the best sunscreen for your skin isn’t a difficult task, and we’re helping you find the best match!

Wikipedia says that avobenzone loses 36% of its UV-absorption capacity after just one hour of sunlight (yep, this is one of the reasons why sunscreens have to be reapplied after a few hours). A superabsorbent polymer (big molecule from repeated subunits) that has crazy water binding abilities. My Thoughts: I have been using this sunscreen for a very long time, long before my makeup or skin care frenzy started.A handy helper ingredient that comes in a white powder form and works as an anti-caking and oil-absorbing agent. In such a time, Lotus Herbals became one of the first brands to sense the need-gap, and pounce upon the opportunity to become a distinctive player in the beauty segment, by marrying age old wisdom in terms of the Ayurveda with modern cosmetic manufacturing and quality control processes. Luckily there are plenty of products on the market with other preservative options so if you are a better safe than sorry type it's probably best to avoid it. Your skin, the largest organ in your body, serves a number of vital purposes, including protecting your body from pathogens and assisting in temperature regulation.
