HEA friendly reminder to Bengaluru Audience!
👉 The UV Index measures how strong the sun’s ultraviolet rays are.
• 0–2: Low
• 3–5: Moderate
• 6–7: High
• 8–10: Very High
• 11+: Extreme (dangerous even with short exposure)
At 13, sunlight can damage skin and eyes within minutes, especially between 10 AM and 4 PM.
☀️ Best Sunscreen Routine (Men & Women)
✅ Step 1: Choose the right sunscreen
• SPF 30–50
• PA+++ or PA++++ (important for Indian sun)
• Gel or matte sunscreen for humid weather
✅ Step 2: How much to apply
Use the two-finger rule:
• Squeeze sunscreen along two fingers → enough for face + neck.
✅ Step 3: When to apply
• Apply 15–20 minutes before stepping out
• Reapply every 2–3 hours
• Reapply after sweating or washing face
👉 Yes, men must apply sunscreen too. UV damage affects everyone equally, regardless of gender.
