Myth The higher the
SPF, the better the
protection.
There are three kinds of
UV rays- UVA, UVB &
UVC. All these rays are
harmful for our skin,
however when it comes to
SPF, it protects our skin
from UVB rays which can
cause sunburns and
photoaging. When we
talk about a sunscreen
with a broad spectrum we
refer to a cream which
has the potential to
protect the skin from all
kinds of UV rays.
Henceforth, SPF alone
cannot ensure better
protection.

Myth You don’t

need sunscreen on a

cloudy day.

The sun’s harmful

rays are reaching the

earth even on a cloudy

day. Hence, it is

important to wear a

sunscreen even on a

cloudy day. It is also

important that you

reapply it after every 3-

4 hours for a better

protection.

Myth Expensive

skin care products

work best.

Just because certain

products are expensive

doesn’t mean that they

are going to work great

for your skin. The

price of any product

doesn’t ensure its

credibility and

effectiveness on your

skin. So don’t be

blinded with the price

tag and look carefully

at the ingredients

which have been used

in it.

W

many

skin

care hack videos

getting popular on

the internet and

garnering so many

views; it really

becomes difficult for

the viewers to

fathom what to

follow. There is no

denying in the fact

that there a plethora

of myths lying all

over the internet

which people

continue to follow

rigorously unless

someone breaks

them.
