Sun and wrinkles

Protect the delicate facial skin from harmful sun rays to prevent wrinkles and age spots.
UV Radiation and Wrinkles :Both UVA and UVB radiation cause wrinkles by breaking down collagen, creating free radicals, and inhibiting the natural repair mechanisms of the skin.
UVA (aging) rays cause most wrinkles,
UVB (burning) rays are the main cause for sunburns and skin cancer.

Say No to Sunscreen lotions
In chemical sunscreens,
there are some chemicals that pose potential human health risks (carcinogens)including benzophenone, octinoxate, octylmethoxycinnamate (OMC), and oxybenzone.

  • These chemicals can seep into your skin, potentially altering how your body processes the sun's rays and could upset your body's normal hormone balance.
  • Chemical sunscreens to absorb into your skin to be effective -which can be harmful.
  • chemicals found in most sunscreens are not biodegradable and may have damaging environmental effects in the water. By using natural ingredients instead, keep both you and the environment safe.



  • Always choose a chemical-free sunscreen with zinc oxide or Titanium Dioxide as main ingredients.
  • Avoid chemical sunscreens as they can be very harmful.
  • Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure between 12 and 4 pm.
  • Use an umbrella with UV protective fabric Or a wide brimmed hat and Sunglasses to protect eyes from cateract.

Use of sunscreen now become a necessary thing for skin. Most of the people focus on sunscreen to save their skin from uvb rays and not give more attention towards uva where as uva is less but also dangerous and it also causes skin cancer by indirect damage to the skin.
