Why Sunscreen Is Your Skin's Best Friend

We often associate sunscreen with sunny beach days or tropical getaways, but the truth is — sunscreen is an everyday essential, no matter the season or weather. Daily exposure to UV rays can cause long-term skin damage, premature ageing, pigmentation, and even compromise the skin’s natural barrier.

But what if your sunscreen didn’t just protect, but also nourished, soothed, and added a radiant glow? That’s where Ohria Ayurveda’s sunscreen stands apart.

Why Sunscreen Is Non-Negotiable

Even a few minutes of sun exposure each day can have lasting effects on your skin, including:

• Tanning and stubborn sun spots
• Dryness and a lacklustre appearance
• Fine lines and signs of early ageing
• Increased sensitivity and inflammation

An effective sunscreen does more than just protect—it acts as a barrier against harmful UVA (ageing) and UVB (burning) rays, while sealing in hydration to keep your skin supple and healthy.

Natural vs. Chemical Sunscreens: What’s Safer for You & the Planet?

When it comes to sun protection, choosing between natural and artificial chemical sunscreens isn’t just about effectiveness—it’s also about what’s safer for your skin and gentler on the environment.

1. Chemical Sunscreens: These absorb UV rays and convert them into heat. While lightweight and often invisible on the skin, they may contain ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate—linked to skin irritation, hormone disruption, and harm to marine life.
2. Natural (Mineral) Sunscreens: Made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, these sit on the skin’s surface and physically block UV rays. They’re less likely to cause irritation, are reef-safe, and offer broad-spectrum protection with a more holistic approach to skincare.

How Ayurvedic Herbs Help Heal Sun-Stressed Skin

Prolonged sun exposure can leave your skin inflamed, dehydrated, and uneven. Ayurveda offers time-tested herbs and minerals that not only protect but also repair and rejuvenate sun-stressed skin.

• Manjistha – A powerful skin purifier that helps reduce pigmentation, detoxifies, and promotes an even skin tone—ideal for fading sun spots and uneven tanning.

• Chandan (Sandalwood) – Deeply cooling and anti-inflammatory, Chandan soothes redness, calms irritation, and restores a sense of balance to overheated skin.

• Aloe Vera – A natural hydrator that helps replenish moisture, heal minor burns, and support skin repair after sun exposure.

• Rose – Cooling, anti-inflammatory, and rich in antioxidants, Rose helps brighten the complexion and reduce inflammation, leaving skin soft and refreshed.

• Yashad Bhasma (Zinc Oxide) – A natural mineral sunscreen in Ayurvedic tradition, it forms a physical barrier against UVA and UVB rays, while being gentle on the skin.

• Kulanjan (Galangal) – Known for its antimicrobial and protective properties, Kulanjan supports the skin’s resilience against environmental damage and promotes clarity.

A Complete Ayurvedic Approach to Sun Care

Together, these ingredients offer more than just sun protection. They work in synergy to shield the skin, reduce sun-induced pigmentation, soothe inflammation, and enhance natural radiance—making daily sun care a truly nourishing ritual.

Did You Know?

• Up to 90% of visible skin aging is caused by sun exposure.
• UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and contribute to premature aging, while UVB rays cause sunburn and surface damage.
• Sunscreen should be applied daily, even on cloudy days or indoors—UV rays can penetrate windows.
• SPF only measures UVB protection—broad-spectrum sunscreens also protect against UVA.
• Most people apply less than half the amount of sunscreen needed for full protection.
• Reapplication every 2-3 hours is essential, especially when sweating or exposed to sunlight.
