Frequently Asked Questions
-
A sun block lotion shields the skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays, and the natural "physical" type uses mineral filters like zinc oxide that sit on the skin and reflect UV, rather than absorbing it chemically. It is the gentle, broad-spectrum option many sensitive-skinned people prefer.
- Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) reflect UV.
- Works immediately on application.
- Gentle, suiting sensitive and reactive skin.
-
Physical (mineral) sunblock sits on the skin's surface and reflects UV using zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, working at once and suiting sensitive skin, while chemical sunscreen absorbs into the skin and converts UV to heat, often feeling lighter and more invisible. Mineral can leave a slight white cast; chemical needs a short wait before sun. Both protect well when broad-spectrum and applied generously. Choose mineral for sensitive or reactive skin, chemical for a weightless everyday feel.
-
Ayurveda traditionally protected the skin with cooling, soothing botanicals and habits, sandalwood, aloe, and rose to calm sun-exposed skin, plus the simple wisdom of covering up and avoiding the harsh midday sun. These genuinely soothe and support skin in the heat. However, for reliable protection against UV damage, a proper broad-spectrum sunblock is essential; herbal pastes alone do not provide measured SPF. Use modern sun protection, and let Ayurvedic botanicals soothe and support alongside it.
-
Apply generously, most people use too little, and reapply regularly for real protection.
- Use about a teaspoon for the face and neck, more for the body.
- Apply 15 to 20 minutes before sun exposure.
- Reapply every two hours, and after swimming or sweating.
- Do not forget ears, neck, hands, and feet.
Under-applying is the commonest reason sun protection seems to fail.
-
Often yes, mineral sunblock with zinc oxide is gentle, sits on the surface rather than absorbing, and is less likely to irritate sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin, which is why dermatologists often recommend it for delicate complexions and children. Zinc is also soothing in itself. The main trade-off is a possible faint white cast, lessened in modern tinted formulas. For sensitive skin and the face, a mineral sunblock is usually the safest, most comfortable choice.
-
Yes, more than people expect: up to 80 percent of UV rays pass through clouds, and UVA penetrates windows, so daily protection matters even on grey days and near sunny windows. The sun's rays cause most visible skin ageing and uneven tone, much of it from this everyday incidental exposure. Making broad-spectrum sun protection a daily habit, rain or shine, is the single most effective anti-ageing and even-tone step there is. Reapply if you are outdoors.
-
Yes, sunblock goes on as the last skincare step, after moisturiser and before makeup, and you simply let it absorb or set for a few minutes before applying foundation. Mineral sunblocks double nicely as a smoothing base. If reapplying over makeup midday, a mineral powder or setting spray with SPF is the practical way. Never skip sun protection just because you wear makeup, since most makeup offers too little SPF, applied too thinly, to protect on its own.
