Everyday Sun Safety: A Doctor-Approved Guide for Year-Round Protection
When it comes to skin health , sun protection isn't just for beach days or tropical vacations. Dermatologists consistently stress that everyday sun exposure—whether during a morning walk, a drive to work, or sitting by a sunny window—contributes to long-term skin damage. The good news? Daily sun protection can be simple, effective, and seamlessly integrated into one's routine. Srinivasa, MBBS MD, Dermatologist, Seema's Skin Care and Laser Centre Sunscreen should be applied at least 15 to 30 minutes before going outdoors to ensure it fully absorbs into the skin. Many people underestimate how much is needed; a generous amount is essential for proper coverage. It's important not to miss commonly overlooked areas such as the ears, back of the neck, hands, and feet. Reapplication every two hours is key, especially during prolonged outdoor exposure or after sweating. Dr. Tarunveer Singh, MBBD MD, Consultant Dermatologist, Dr Kumars S-Thetics, Jalandhar Sun safety doesn't stop at sunscreen. Clothing also plays a significant role in shielding skin from harmful ultraviolet rays. Long sleeves, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-protective sunglasses offer passive yet powerful protection. Advances in fabric technology have also introduced UPF-rated clothing that can help guard against UV radiation without compromising comfort. Dr. Prateek Nagrani, MBBD MD, Consultant Dermatologist, Super Derm, New Delhi One of the most overlooked facts is that sunscreen should be worn indoors as well. UVA rays, which are responsible for premature aging and deep skin damage, can pass through windows and glass. This makes daily sunscreen application important even for those spending most of their time inside, particularly in well-lit environments or near windows. To build consistency, sun protection should be treated as a daily habit—just like brushing one's teeth. Keeping sunscreen within reach during a morning routine or choosing skincare and makeup products that include SPF can make all the difference over time. Dr. Sumit Sethi, MBBD MD, Consultant Dermatologist, Dermastation, New Delhi Ultimately, sun protection isn't about dramatic lifestyle changes. It's about making small, sustainable choices each day. With consistent care, it's possible to halt the damage caused by invisible, cumulative UV exposure—and preserve the skin's health and appearance for years to come. Dr. Priyanka Kalyankar, MBBS, MD, Kalyankari Clinic, Aurangabad The HALT THE DAMAGE, FACE THE WORLD campaign by LUPIN addresses the growing threat of sun damage among Indian population. With rising UV exposure and rising pollution levels, contributing to Skin Damage by causing issues such as Pigmentation, Breakouts, and Premature aging. The campaign urges early education on the importance of Daily Sun Protection, and Proactive Skincare to Halt the Skin Damage, by promoting awareness and encouraging consistent use of dermatologist-backed solutions, this initiative empowers individuals to take control of their skin health before the damage becomes permanent. It's a vital step toward building a sun-smart generation that faces the world with confidence and care.
