Everyone talks about the number post SPF, like 30, 50, 70, etc. But another factor to consider is PA rating. Opting PA+++ or PA++++ protects your skin from the signs of aging. 2.

They are also needed for people who sit under mobiles and laptops for the whole day. Choosing sunscreen with iron and anti-oxidant helps more. 4.

It’s a myth that people under water(swimming) swipes the SPF 50 Sunscreen; But the fact is people who sweat more make the sunscreen get wiped off! 6.
