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. When your SPF is higher, it does not mean you have double the protection. The main factor lies in reapplication. Even though SPF 50 blocks 80% of the rays, if you don’t reapply after 4 hrs of application, it is just the number. 3. SPF is not for people who work or round under the sun. 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. Mineral sunscreens like Deyga SPF 30 sunscreen are better for sensitive, pregnant & acne-prone users. 5. 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.
