Sun protection products help defend your skin from UVA and UVB rays that contribute to premature ageing, dark spots and long-term damage. In this category, you’ll find face and body sunscreens, lightweight daily SPFs and protective formulas often recommended after cosmetic procedures or hair transplant surgery. Consistent use of sun protection is essential if you are treating pigmentation, using active ingredients or recovering from any treatment that makes the skin more sensitive to light. Adding a suitable SPF to your routine is one of the simplest ways to protect both your skin health and your results.
How to choose and use sun protection
Look for a broad-spectrum SPF product that protects against both UVA and UVB. Use lighter textures for the face and scalp, and richer or water-resistant formulas for the body. Apply as the last step in your morning routine, after your serum and moisturizer, and reapply every 2–3 hours if you stay outdoors.
After hair transplant or skin procedures, follow your clinic’s exact instructions. Many specialists recommend physical or very gentle sunscreens and advise avoiding direct sun in the first weeks. Proper sun protection helps reduce the risk of marks and supports a more even, long-lasting result.
FAQs
Do I need SPF even on cloudy days?
Yes. UVA rays, which contribute strongly to ageing and pigmentation, pass through clouds and windows. Using a daily SPF is recommended even when the weather seems mild and you spend most of your time indoors.
Can I use the same sunscreen for face, body and scalp?
Some formulas work well on multiple areas, but many people prefer a dedicated face SPF and a separate body product. For the scalp or thinning hair, look for lightweight, non-greasy textures that won’t weigh hair down.
How much sunscreen should I apply?
As a rough guide, use about two fingers of product for the face and neck, and a generous layer for each exposed body area. Too little SPF significantly reduces the protection level, so apply more than you think you need and reapply regularly.
