Parul: Hi! Nothing just leave that

Swati: There's severe tanning on your skin. Why youre ignoring skin problem.

Parul: Coz' there's nothing new. Skin tanning is a common problem with me during the Summer Season.

Swati: Still. You just can't ignore skin tanning. Your case is severe. It can cause further implications later on.

Parul: Then what should i do?

Swati: Why don't you apply sunscreen lotion on your face, neck and hands region which gets exposed to the sun. Sunscreen creams and lotion will protect your skin from Sun's harmful UV-rays that causes maximum damage to the skin like discoloring, skin burns, reddening or itching.

Parul: Dear, my skin is very sensitive. I avoid using creams on my face.

Sawati: Don't be scared. Sunscreen is a must-have during summers. Go for herbal creams for your sensitive skin.

Parul: Ok. What else should i keep in mind while purchasing a sunscreen cream?

Swati: When buying a sunscreen look for ingredients like benzophenones, oxybenzone, salicylates, zinc oxide, avobenzone etc.

Know you SPF (Sun Protection Factor). It ranges from as low as 2 to 50. SPF is the sunscreen's ability to deflect the burning rays.

It's important that your sunscreen matches your skin type like oily, dry or normal. For oily skin, pick gel sun protection formula. And for Dry skin, use a lotion formula that hydrates and protects your skin.

Parul: Thanks for your valuable tips.

Swati: Welcome.
