Most of the people I’ve met still have a hard time figuring out which sunscreen to use for their skin, when to apply it, what the ideal SPF to buy, and when to apply it. I’m doing it! The basic rule when buying sunscreen is to buy the one that suits your skin type. For dry skin, we recommend a moisturizer with a high SPF, and for combination skin and oily skin, we recommend an oil-free one.

Be sure to apply sunscreen after bathing. It also covers all exposed parts of the body, not just the face, and protects the face from powerful and harmful UV rays.

I’ve seen people suffer from sunburn damage due to unprotected skin, and it’s not just sunburn that I’m talking about.

The following articles will help you understand how to care for your skin naturally and how to treat sunburned skin.

In the summer, always wear loose cotton clothing so that your skin can breathe.
