Delhi, New Delhi:Skin is often harmed by the intense Indian summers. Seasonal skin irritation from the strong sun and humidity may result in anything from sunburns to prickly heat. Indian skin tends to respond with increased sensitivity and pigmentation due to its distinct melanin composition. Here’s how to maintain skin strength and sun safety.

Tanning & Sunburns: The Overabundance of UV
What Takes Place:
Although Indian skin has more melanin by nature, which provides some protection, it is nevertheless susceptible to harm from the sun. Dr. Aparna Santhanam, a dermatologist and skin specialist at ITC Dermafique, cautions against sun allergies and premature aging brought on by excessive UV exposure. She also discusses the necessity for a sunscreen that uses Full Light Technology and how it works.

The Reason a Sunscreen Needs Full Light Technology:
Although visible light and infrared radiation have been proved to cause harm, traditional sunscreens are focused on UVA and UVB rays. A comprehensive defense against the whole spectrum of light is provided by Full Light Technology. According to Dr. Aparna, “The skin’s exposure to the full spectrum of light can contribute to premature ageing, pigmentation, and even changes in skin texture over time.” Full Light Technology-enabled sunscreens provide complete protection, making them crucial for avoiding these long-term consequences. Skin that is shielded from all types of light stays youthful, glowing, and free of the first indications of aging. According to Dr. Santhanam, “It is the best blend of superior protection with improved skincare benefits that makes Full Light Technology a must-have in every skincare routine.”
