Most Commonly Asked Questions about Sunblock/Sunscreen

Can we apply sunscreen after moisturizer?

Its always good to apply sunscreen after you are done with your skin care regime as using serums or moisturizers over your sunscreen will affect the amount of protection it provides.

Can I use sunscreen while pregnant?

It is important to wear sunscreen while you are pregnant. Use one with at least an SPF of 30. Also, not all sunscreens are safe. There are many chemical sunscreens whose constituents can enter your bloodstream and can affect your fetus. It can also cause skin irritations and allergic reactions. Instead, use a natural sunscreen.

How long does sunscreen last once applied?

It usually lasts up to two to three hours, depending on the SPF. Ideally, the sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before the skin is exposed to the skin. This allows the ingredients to bind to the skin properly. So, reapplying the sunscreen is as important as putting it on. Reapply it every two hours.

Does sunscreen over 30 SPF work?

Yes, sunscreens between SPF 30 and 50 work. However, there is only a tiny difference, SPF 30 protects against approximately 96% of UV rays whereas SPF 50 gives 98% protection from the sun. Therefore, a higher SPF does not necessarily mean greater protection.

What does the SPF number of sunscreen lotions mean?

The SPF refers to the ability of a sunscreen to block UVB rays that can cause sunburns, as well as UVA rays, that can cause deeper skin damage. The higher the SPF number, the higher the protection. But none provides 100% protection. The number shows the length of time your skin will be protected from burning, depending on your skin type. Check for the first sign of reddening in the sun without any protection (for eg., 3mins). Multiply that number by the SPF, that is, 50 * 3 (if the SPF is 50) = 150 minutes of sun protection.

Does expired sunscreen work?

All sunscreens have an expiration date mentioned on the bottle. The usual shelf life of a sunscreen is up to two to three years. However, you can still use it slightly over three years.

How to Use Sunblock Cream or Gel

There are a few factors that you need to keep in mind while picking up the sunscreen and using it everyday:

1. Always read the ingredient list and make sure your sunscreen contain the following:

Titanium dioxide
Avobenzone (also parsol)
Zinc oxide

2. Opt for a broad spectrum sunscreen lotion or gel that is non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. Such sun creams will shield you from ultraviolet rays, both A and B, while safeguarding you from rashes, clogged pores, acne, and sun burns.

3. Choose a sunscreen that is waterproof and comes with a minimum SPF of 30.

4. Always apply sunscreen half an hour before you come into contact with the sun.

Kojic Acid Soap Review

Kojic acid is a natural acid that is primarily used for lightening skin pigmentation. It is an effective, safer alternative to hydroquinone. The ingredient is obtained from mushrooms that are native to Japan and is a by-product of the fermentation process used to produce the alcoholic beverage 'SAKE'.

This soap is great at exfoliating, it leaves your skin feeling super clean, it smells great! However, it finishes really fasts and leaves an orange stain in your bathroom, so be careful. In terms of lightening dark marks, I’d definitely say that this soap, after 3 months of using it, helped in fading some superficial dark marks and tan from spending too much time in the sun. On Asian skin, this soap works wonders and can “lighten” one up to 2 shades or more, as well as treat pimples; but on black skin it helps fade discoloration. To maximize the effect on the soap, it is best to lather up the soap, apply on the body and leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse off.

To understand kojic acid's effects, it is necessary to understand how the skin gets it color. The body naturally produces a pigment known as 'Melanin' through specialized cells known as 'Melanocytes'. A person's genes determine how much melanin the body naturally produces. In people with fair skin, only small amounts of melanin are manufactured by the melanocytes, while copious amounts of the pigment are made by the cells of those with dark complexions.

Many products designed for lightening the skin have a very short shelf life because they really aren’t all that stable. Products that contain kojic acid generally have a much longer shelf life because kojic acid resists oxidation and spoilage.

Since many producers of skin lightening products sell treatments for fairly long periods of time, buying one with kojic acid just makes more sense. If you have to use a skin lightening treatment for six months, you don’t want the product to go bad or stop being effective halfway through. Kojic acid won’t do that because it’s very stable.
