What is a good sunscreen?
A good sunscreen is one that offers SPF 50 for UVB protection, PA++++ for the highest available UVA coverage in India, has a texture you enjoy wearing daily, and is appropriate for your skin type. If it meets these criteria and you reach for it every morning without resistance, it is a good sunscreen for you.
Beyond the UV ratings, a good sunscreen should feel comfortable on your skin type, not cause breakouts or irritation, leave an acceptable finish (whether matte, satin, or natural), and work seamlessly within your existing routine. For a family, this might mean a formula that works across different skin types without needing separate products for each person. Consistency of use matters more than finding a technically perfect formula. The sunscreen you use every day, in the right amount, is always better than the one that stays in the drawer.
