Let’s be real, sunscreen is the skincare step we all know we should be doing, but most of us still treat it like optional homework. Some of us skip it indoors, some think one dab in the morning is enough to last all day, and some proudly say, “I don’t burn, so I don’t need it.” Well…hate to break it to you, but the sun doesn’t care. UV rays are equal-opportunity troublemakers, and your skin whether fair, wheatish, or deep is on their hit list. So today, let’s bust some of the biggest sunscreen myths that are probably messing with your glow.
Myth 1: “I Don’t Need Sunscreen Indoors”
This one’s the desi classic. You’re at home, curtains drawn, fan blastingwhy bother with SPF, right? Wrong. UVA rays (the ones responsible for premature aging and pigmentation) travel right through windows. That means your skin is still catching those rays while you’re scrolling Instagram or working from home.
Enter SunAway Sunscreen SPF-51 lightweight, broad-spectrum, and strong enough to protect your skin even on “chill at home” days.
Myth 2: “SPF 30 Is Enough, SPF 50 Is Overkill”
Think of SPF like math class: confusing at first, but once it clicks, it makes sense. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks 98%. That tiny difference? It adds up when you’re living in Pakistani heat, where the UV index regularly scores in the “extreme” category.
So no, SPF 50+ isn’t “too much.” It’s just right. Especially when it comes in a non-greasy formula like SunAway, which doesn’t melt off the second you step outside.
Myth 3: “Dark Skin Doesn’t Need Sunscreen”
We’ve all heard this one: “Tumhari skin toh strong hai, tumhein kuch nahi hoga.” But here’s the truth—melanin does give a little natural protection, but not nearly enough. Darker skin tones are just as vulnerable to sun damage, tanning, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging.
So yes, sunscreen is for every shade.
Myth 4: “One Morning Application Is Enough”
Picture this: you put sunscreen on at 9 am, then spend the day running errands, sweating, maybe wiping your face a dozen times. By lunchtime, your sunscreen has ghosted you. Reapplication every 2–3 hours (especially if you’re outdoors) isn’t optional it’s essential.
Tip: Keep your tube of SunAway SPF-51 in your bag. It’s lightweight and blends in fast, so you won’t feel like you’re re-icing a cake in public.
