Do I need sunscreen indoors?

Yes, especially if you sit near windows or are exposed to daylight for long periods. UVA rays can pass through glass and contribute to visible signs of ageing and pigmentation over time.

What is the difference between SunShield and SunShield Aqua?

SunShield SPF50 is a tinted sunscreen suited for dry, dehydrated or pigmentation-prone skin, with visible light protection and a soft natural finish. SunShield Aqua SPF50 is a lightweight, water-based and non-comedogenic sunscreen that is better suited for oily, combination or breakout-prone skin.

Do I need to remove sunscreen at the end of the day?

Yes. Sunscreen should be removed properly at the end of the day, especially if you are using a water-resistant or tinted formula. A cleansing oil, balm or makeup remover can help remove sunscreen thoroughly before following with your regular cleanser.

Are SunShields safe for use during pregnancy?

SunShield formulas are formulated to be suitable for use during pregnancy.

Your Guide to Daily Sun Protection

Daily sunscreen is not just for sunny days. UV exposure, visible light and environmental stressors can all contribute to pigmentation, uneven tone and visible signs of ageing over time.

The best sunscreen is the one you will use consistently. For some, that means a lightweight water-based texture. For others, it means a tinted formula that helps even out skin tone while supporting protection against UVA, UVB and visible light.

Why Daily Sunscreen Matters

UVA And UVB Exposure

UVB rays are strongly linked to sunburn, while UVA rays can contribute to visible signs of ageing, uneven tone and loss of firmness over time.

Visible Light

Visible light may contribute to pigmentation, especially in deeper skin tones and pigmentation-prone skin. Tinted sunscreen with iron oxides can help provide added visible light protection.

Pigmentation And Dark Spots

Sun exposure can worsen the look of dark spots, post-acne marks and melasma. Consistent sunscreen use is one of the most important steps in any brightening routine.

How To Choose The Right Sunscreen

For Oily Or Breakout-Prone Skin

Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic textures that do not feel greasy or heavy. A water-based sunscreen can help skin feel fresh while reducing the chance of a clogged-feeling finish.

For Dry Or Dehydrated Skin

A comfortable, hydrating sunscreen can help skin feel smoother and more supported throughout the day.

For Pigmentation-Prone Skin

Tinted SPF can be especially useful for pigmentation-prone skin because iron oxides help protect against visible light, one of the triggers linked to uneven tone.

Ingredients Commonly Used In Sunscreen

UV Filters

UV filters help protect skin from UVA and UVB rays, which can contribute to sunburn, pigmentation and visible signs of ageing.

Iron Oxides

Often used in tinted sunscreen formulas to help protect against visible light and support more even-looking skin.

Antioxidants

Ingredients such as vitamins C and E help support skin against environmental stressors that can contribute to dullness and uneven tone.

Niacinamide

Helps support the skin barrier and improve the look of uneven tone, making it a useful ingredient in daily sunscreen formulas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need sunscreen every day?

Yes. UV exposure can affect skin even on cloudy days or when you are mostly indoors near windows. Daily sunscreen helps reduce the triggers that contribute to pigmentation, uneven tone and visible signs of ageing.

What is the difference between UVA and UVB?

UVB rays are more closely linked to sunburn, while UVA rays penetrate more deeply and can contribute to visible signs of ageing, pigmentation and loss of firmness over time.

Does visible light affect pigmentation?

Visible light may contribute to pigmentation, especially for deeper skin tones and pigmentation-prone skin. Tinted sunscreens with iron oxides can help provide added protection against visible light.

Is tinted sunscreen better for dark spots?

Tinted sunscreen can be helpful for dark spots, post-acne marks and melasma because iron oxides help protect against visible light, which may contribute to uneven-looking skin.

Can acne-prone skin use sunscreen?

Yes. Acne-prone skin still needs daily sunscreen. Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas that do not feel greasy, heavy or pore-clogging.

How much sunscreen should I apply?

Apply enough sunscreen to cover all exposed areas evenly. For the face and neck, many people use the two-finger guideline as a practical reference, then reapply when needed throughout the day.
