Best affordable celebrity-dupe Sunscreens for beating sunburn this summer; know about the importance of SPF

Here arrives summer! Now we all are so worried about our skin these days, and the weather is a huge factor in increasing our tensions. As summers have always increased with the increasingly uncommon changes in the environment, our face becomes vulnerable to all the heat, dust, and sun exposure, which may result in rashes, redness, acne, and many other skin problems.

Now talking about the most basic ingredient for skincare, SUNSCREEN. Celebs are always emphasizing the necessity of sunscreen. There is a common misconception that Bollywood superstars must use high-end skincare and makeup products. This, however, is not always accurate. Several celebrities, including Kareena Kapoor Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, enjoy a good deal.

Why is SPF important?

The ability of a sunscreen to protect skin from UVB rays is measured by its SPF (Sun Protection Factor). Sunscreens have an SPF of at least 30, with higher SPF levels providing better protection. To protect against UVA and UVB radiation, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF. For adequate protection, regular reapplication and an appropriate application are also required. The concentration and mix of active chemicals such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, avobenzone, Mexoryl, and others are used to rank the best sunscreens. The higher the concentration of broad-spectrum, non-irritating substances, the better the UVA and UVB radiation protection. The level of protection is also indicated by the SPF and PA+ ratings.

Using sunscreen is critically vital, but not everyone does. Here are some of the best and most affordable sunscreens that are a go-to product for Bollywood celebrities.
