How to Choose the Best Sunscreen for Indian Skin – PA++++ Explained

In India, sunscreen is often misunderstood. Many believe it’s only for summer, only for fair skin, or unnecessary indoors. The truth? UV rays damage your skin year-round — causing tanning, pigmentation, ageing, and even skin cancer.

But with so many sunscreen options (SPF 30, SPF 50, PA+, PA+++, PA++++), it can feel confusing. Let’s break it down.

What Does SPF Mean?

• SPF (Sun Protection Factor): Measures protection against UVB rays (responsible for sunburn).

• SPF 50: Means your skin takes 50x longer to burn compared to no sunscreen.

What Does PA++++ Mean?

• PA (Protection Grade of UVA): Measures protection against UVA rays (cause ageing, pigmentation).

• More pluses = more protection.

• PA++++ is the highest grade, meaning maximum defence against long-term sun damage.

Why Indian Skin Needs Strong Sunscreen

• Hot climate + high UV index → higher risk of pigmentation

• Even brown/tan skin is prone to sun damage

• Indoor UV exposure (from windows, laptops, mobiles) also harms skin

Why CLARIV SPF 50 PA++++ Sunscreen Stands Out

• High protection: Broad-spectrum SPF 50 & PA++++

• Skin benefits: Niacinamide (reduces spots) + Hyaluronic Acid (hydrates)

• Lightweight & non-greasy: Perfect for Indian skin types

• No white cast: Blends seamlessly

How to Apply Sunscreen Correctly

• Use 2-3 finger rule for full face coverage

• Apply 15 mins before stepping out

• Reapply every 2-3 hours (especially if outdoors)

• Always use after serums/moisturizer

Conclusion

Your sunscreen isn’t just a skincare product — it’s your first line of defence against ageing and pigmentation. With SPF 50 & PA++++, CLARIV’s sunscreen ensures Indian skin gets the right protection with added care.
