A Morning We All Know Too Well
It’s 9 AM. The sun is already blazing, the streets are buzzing, and you step out—maybe for work, a quick errand, or just your morning walk. Within minutes, you feel the sun’s warmth on your face. Some of us ignore it, some pull out a scarf, some rely on a cap. But how many of us reach for the one thing that truly protects us—sunscreen?
For many Indians, sunscreen still feels like a “foreign” concept, something for vacations at the beach. But in reality, our everyday Indian lifestyle makes sunscreen even more essential.
The Indian Sun: Stronger Than You Think
In India, the sun doesn’t take a break. Even in monsoon or winter, the UV index stays high, silently working on your skin. Unlike the instant burn you might get abroad, here the damage is often invisible—showing up later as pigmentation, tanning, and premature aging.
Think of it like slow cooking: you don’t see the damage immediately, but years later, the results show up in fine lines, dark patches, and uneven tone.

Myths We’ve All Heard
-
“I have wheatish/dusky skin; I don’t need sunscreen.”
-
“It’s cloudy today, the sun isn’t that strong.”
-
“I’m indoors, why bother?”
So, sunscreen isn’t about skin tone or season—it’s about skin health.
Sound familiar? The truth is:
-
Melanin offers some protection, but not enough. Indian skin still gets pigmentation and sun damage.
-
Clouds block sunlight, not UV rays. Up to 80% still reach your skin.
-
Indoor light, especially from windows and screens, also adds to skin stress.
Everyday Skin Concerns, One Root Cause
The culprit: unprotected sun exposure.
Sunscreen doesn’t just stop tanning—it prevents dark spots, uneven skin tone, and premature aging. It’s like giving your skin a shield in a country where the sun never really rests.
