The Science of Sunscreen: How it Works and Why You Need It

Summer is here, and with it comes the sunshine. While it’s tempting to soak up those rays, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Sunscreen is a critical component of any skincare routine, but many people don't know how it works or why they need it. In this blog, we’ll dive into the science behind sunscreen and explore the benefits of using Lotus Professional PHYTORx Sunscreen Range.

First and foremost, let's discuss how sunscreen works. Sunscreen works by creating a barrier between your skin and the sun's harmful UV rays. It does this by using one of two types of active ingredients: chemical or physical. Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat energy. These types of sunscreens typically contain ingredients like avobenzone, oxybenzone, and octinoxate. Physical sunscreens, on the other hand, work by reflecting UV rays away from the skin. They contain active ingredients like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. These types of sunscreens are often referred to as "mineral" sunscreens. While both types of sunscreens can provide protection against UV rays, physical sunscreens tend to be gentler on the skin and are less likely to cause irritation. Additionally, they provide protection against both UVA and UVB rays, while some chemical sunscreens only protect against UVB rays.

Now that we know how sunscreen works, let's discuss why it's so important to use it regularly. The sun's UV rays can cause a range of skin damage, from sunburn to premature aging to an increased risk of skin cancer. Using sunscreen can help prevent these issues and keep your skin healthy. One excellent choice for a sunscreen that meets all of these criteria is the Lotus Professional PHYTORx Sunscreen Range.

But what makes the Lotus Professional PHYTORx Sunscreen Range so special? It’s the powerful organic formulation that makes all the difference. The Lotus Professional PHYTORx Sunscreen Range is made with natural, organic ingredients that work together to protect and nourish your skin.

But choosing the right sunscreen isn't just about finding one with the right ingredients. It's also about using it correctly. Many people make the mistake of not applying enough sunscreen, or not reapplying it often enough.

To ensure that you're getting the full benefits of your sunscreen, it's important to follow these guidelines:

1. Use enough sunscreen: A general rule of thumb is to use approximately 1/4th teaspoon of sunscreen for the face and neck, and one shot glass full (approximately 30 ml or 30 grams) of sunscreen for the exposed areas of the body.

2. Reapply every two hours: Sunscreen wears off over time, so it's important to reapply it every two hours. If you're swimming or sweating, you may need to reapply it more often. Apply it before you go outside: Sunscreen takes about 15 minutes to fully absorb into the skin, so make sure to apply it before you go outside.

3. Don't forget to protect your lips: Your lips can also get sunburned, so make sure to use a lip balm with SPF.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that you're getting the full benefits of your sunscreen and protecting your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays.

In conclusion, sunscreen is a critical component of any skincare routine, and it's important to use it regularly to protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays. Lotus Professional PHYTORx Sunscreen Range is an excellent choice for a sunscreen, thanks to its potent organic formulation, eco-friendly ingredients, and ease of use.
