New to sunscreens? You have landed on the right page. Think of this blog as a crash course in everything sunscreen – from understanding SPF terminologies to picking the best sunscreen for your vanity. Without further ado, let's get started.

What Is A Sunscreen

A sunscreen shields your skin from sun damage by warding off UVA and UVB rays. There are two different categories of sun protectants available in the market. Scroll ahead to learn the differences between physical or chemical sunscreen.

1. Physical or Mineral Sunscreen: A physical sunscreen is infused with zinc oxide or titanium and forms a protective barrier on the dermis. This shield (so to say) reflects harmful UVA and UVB radiation like a mirror – preventing sun damage.

2. Chemical Sunscreen: Infused with ingredients like Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl, Hexyl Benzoate and more, this sunscreen soaks up harmful radiation like a sponge – releasing it in the form of heat. It thus protects your skin from burns, pigmentation, and photoaging.

Why Do I Need To Wear Sunscreen Everyday?

A generous slather of sunscreen helps avert skin damage. Ahead, we list all the benefits of wearing sunscreen every day.

1. Prevents Sunburns: Wearing sunscreen helps block UVB rays that burn your skin.

2. Keeps your skin youthful: Excess sun exposure fastens your skin’s ageing process by depleting collagen. For those unaware, collagen is a type of protein responsible for your skin’s structure and integrity. This is why we recommend wearing sunscreen every day to keep fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet at bay.

3. No more dark spots and patches: Being under the sun increases the risk of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Continued exposure to UV rays increases melanin synthesis in your skin cells, leading to localized discoloration. Keep these concerns at bay with sunscreen every day.

Understanding Different Sunscreen Labels

Sunscreen labels can feel confusing at first, but it can be easy to choose the right product once you know what each term means. Here are the most important labels you will see on sunscreen, along with their description.

What Is SPF?

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) tells you how well a sunscreen protects your skin from UVB rays. These rays are mainly responsible for sunburn and also play a role in skin cancer.

The following is a comparison of each face SPF.

1. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays.
2. SPF 50 blocks around 98% of UVB rays.
3. SPF 70 blocks close to 99% of UVB rays.

Higher SPF offers slightly better protection, but no sunscreen blocks 100% of UV rays. There are other factors that are more important than the SPF in sunscreen.

- Applying enough sunscreen.
- Reapply every 2 hours if you spend too much time outdoors.

A high SPF is of no use if you under-apply or do not reapply it.

What Is PA in Sunscreen?

SPF focuses on sunburn, but the PA rating measures protection against UVA rays. These rays penetrate deeper into the skin and are responsible for many skin problems.

- Premature ageing.
- Wrinkles and fine lines.
- Pigmentation and sunspots.
- Long-term skin damage.

PA meaning in sunscreen is ratings that are mentioned using plus signs on the label.

- PA++ means moderate UVA protection.
- PA+++ provides good protection for regular outdoor exposure.
- PA++++ means very high protection and is the best for preventing photoaging.

Choosing a high PA rating sunscreen is just as important as SPF if you want even-toned and youthful-looking skin.

What Is Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen?

A broad-spectrum sunscreen protects your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. This is crucial due to the following reasons.

- UVB rays cause sunburn.
- UVA rays cause ageing and long-term damage.

Your skin may still age or show signs of pigmentation even if you do not burn without broad-spectrum protection. Always check the label for Broad Spectrum for complete sun protection.

What Is Water-Resistant Sunscreen?

A sunscreen labelled as water-resistant means it can maintain its protection while you sweat or swim. But only for a limited time, as no sunscreen is truly waterproof or sweatproof.

You will see one of these claims.

- 40 minutes: Protection lasts up to 40 minutes in water or sweat.
- 80 or 90 minutes: Protection lasts longer during swimming or heavy sweating.

Important tip: Water resistance does not mean it will not get off when you wipe with a towel. Always reapply immediately after towel-drying, as wiping your skin removes the sunscreen layer.

Mineral vs. Chemical Sunscreen

Sunscreens are broadly categorised based on how they protect your skin from UV rays. Understanding the difference helps you choose a formula that suits your skin type, lifestyle, and comfort.

Mineral (Physical) Sunscreen

These sunscreens act like a protective shield on your skin.

Key ingredients 
Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide.

How do they work?
These minerals sit on the surface of the skin and reflect or scatter UV rays away before they can penetrate.

Best for
Sensitive skin, eczema-prone skin, or skin that reacts easily to active ingredients.

Why do people choose it?
It gives you instant protection and feels less irritating to the skin.

Downside
Some formulas can leave a white cast, which is more prominent in darker skin tones. The sunscreen also has a thicker consistency.

Chemical Sunscreen

Chemical sunscreens work more like a UV-absorbing filter.

Key ingredients 
Avobenzone, Octisalate, and Oxybenzone.

How do they work?
The ingredients are absorbed into the skin, where they absorb UV rays and convert them into heat, and release them.

Best for 
Daily use if you prefer a lightweight, non-greasy, invisible finish or need water resistance.

Why do people choose it?
Blends easily, feels weightless, and works well under makeup or on bare skin.

Downside
It needs 15–20 minutes after application to become fully active.

Both types of sunscreen give you enough protection. But the choice depends on what type of sunscreen suits your skin, and how you plan to wear it daily.

Wish to invest in the best skincare products for your morning and nighttime rituals? If yes, you need an infallible understanding of your skin type and its concerns first.

In this article, we are calling all folks with combination skin. Let’s back up a bit – we are calling out to people who think that they have combination skin. Ahead, we list 5 signs of this unique skin type that will hopefully streamline your skincare shopping efforts. While at it, we help you with the best products for combination skin from Foxtale. High-performing, innovative, and safe, these offerings will elevate your skincare game by 10X.

So, keep scrolling!

 5 Signs You Have Combination Skin

Combination skin has both oily and dry parts. Here are some other signs that can help you in the identification process.

1. An Oily T-Zone: If your T-zone, forehead and chin are always a little too greasy, you may have combination skin. These areas on your face may get slick soon after cleansing.

2. Dry Patches Everywhere Else: Additionally, your cheeks may seem relatively dry throughout the day. During the transitional season, these areas can also get uncomfortably tight or flaky.

3. Clogged Pores: As we know, oily skin is more prone to unwarranted buildup in the form of pollutants, impurities, and grime. For combination skin, you may notice bigger, clogged pores on the T-zone, forehead and chin – due to the never-ending greasiness.

4. Whiteheads Or Blackheads: If further aggravated, these clogged pores turn to whiteheads or blackheads, You will see that their occurrence is more pronounced on the T-zone, forehead and chin for the combination skin type.

5. Occasional Breakouts: The combination skin type is no stranger to breakouts. The plugged pores on the oily areas serve as a breeding ground for bacteria – leading to breakouts.

 What Should I Look For In Combination Skincare Products

Since combination skin has both dry and oily parts, picking skin care products can be a little challenging. Here are some pointers you should consider.

1. Hydrating Formulas: Look for formulas infused with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Red Algae extracts, and Sodium PCA. These humectants bind water molecules to the skin, ensuring its soft and supple appearance. The perfect fit for folks with combination skin, a hydrating formula banishes dry patches and uncomfortable tightness.

2. Oil Control: To take care of the greasy parts of combination skin, oil control is essential. Skincare workhorses like AHAs, BHAs, Niacinamide and more expel excess sebum from the pores, ensuring a healthy microbiome. The best part? These active ingredients are gentle and don’t zap the natural oils from the dermis.

3. Gentle, Nourishing Formulas: Many skin care formulas (in the market) that do away with excess oil and grime tend to be a bit abrasive. This can be counterproductive to your efforts for healthy, happy skin.

To keep these concerns at bay, you need to create a balance between oil control and intense hydration that offsets inflammation – with your pick of products. And this is where Foxtale comes into the picture.

The Role Of Ceramides In Barrier Protection

  • 04

Not too long ago, multi-hyphenate Alia Bhatt declared her love for Ceramides – sending skincare enthusiasts and novices into a tizzy! But is the hype around the ingredient justified? The answer is a resounding yes.  

For those unaware, super ingredient Ceramide serves as the building unit of the skin, responsible for its taut and elastic appearance. To use a borrowed analogy – if your skin is a masonry wall, Ceramide is the mortar holding the bricks a.k.a. the corneocytes together.   

But these are just a smattering of benefits! The multitasking ingredient also plays a pivotal role in barrier protection, which we explore in this blog. So, keep scrolling. Additionally, we introduce you to the best Ceramide-infused products on Foxtale for a 360-degree skin transformation. 

What Are Ceramides?

Ceramides are lipid molecules that form approximately 40% of your skin barrier. For all skincare beginners, the skin or lipid barrier serves as the first line of defence for the body. It wards off pathogens, harmful aggressors, and UV radiation, ensuring healthy, happy skin. So, you can only imagine what would happen if Ceramides were depleted in your skin. 

 They are a gamut of reasons that can diminish Ceramides in your skin 

 >Ageing 

>Weather changes 

>Continued use of dry water 

>Harsh skincare and more 

 How Do Ceramides Help In Barrier Protection?

 Here are the different ways in which Ceramides help uphold the skin barrier. 

1. They Hydrate: We know that adequate hydration is indispensable for a sturdy skin barrier. Super ingredient Ceramides helps double down on efforts for skin hydration by preventing TEWL or Transepidermal Water Loss. You can pair it with Hyaluronic Acid in your skincare for best results. 

2. They Exhibit Anti-inflammatory Properties: Ceramides boast anti-inflammatory properties that help alleviate redness, rashes, hives, flare-ups and more. Ceramides are a must-have for folks with extremely dry or sensitive skin. 

3. Integrity And Structure: To bring back the brick wall analogy, Ceramides serve as the mortar, ensuring the taut, supple & elastic appearance of your skin. The depletion of the super ingredient can lead to premature saggy skin, fine lines and wrinkles. 

4. Infallible Protection From Pollutants And Aggressors: Ceramides sit on the skin barrier, shielding your skin from harmful UV rays and environmental aggressors.

Do Ceramides Work For All Skin Types?

If you’re on the fence about introducing this super ingredient into your skincare – we have some reassuring news for you. Ceramides bode well for all skin types, including oily.   

We know hydration is vital for maintaining oily skin as it regulates sebum production. Since topical application of Ceramides helps prevent Trans Epidermal Water Loss, they prove to be a good match for oily and combination skin.

Bid Goodbye To Dark Circles With Foxtale’s Firming Eye Gel

Let’s face it – dark circles are menacing. These deep, dark hollows under the eyes pull focus from your beautiful face – making you look perpetually exhausted or even older.  

If you are in the same boat and want a surefire solution for panda eyes, we've got you! When all the cucumber slices and cold compresses fail you, turn to Foxtale’s Firming Eye Gel. This nifty tube erases dark circles, reduces puffiness and softens creases for a brighter, tighter gaze.  

Before we learn more about this under-eye gel, here’s a look at the basics of dark circles. What are they and how do they occur? 

 What Are Dark Circles And How Do They Occur?

 Dark circles may look black, blue, brown or purple – depending on an individual’s skin tone.  According to studies, Indians are genetically pre-disposed to developing dark circles from an early age. 

Dark circles essentially occur due to the enlargement of blood vessels in the under-eye area. This can happen due to one of the following reasons. 

1. Lack Of Sleep: Cheating 8 hours of sleep makes you more susceptible to dark circles. Lack of sleep leads to a drop in the oxygen supply to the eyes, dilating the blood vessels in the area. The bigger, darker blood vessels are glaringly visible, colloquially known as dark circles.  

2. Ageing: As you age, the skin under the eyes becomes thin and loose. This natural process exposes the network of blood vessels sitting underneath – making you look tired. 

3. Genetics: As discussed earlier, certain folks may be genetically predisposed to developing dark circles. 

4. Dehydration: The lack of hydration can make your skin appear pale and eyes more sunkenunderlining the network of blood vessels. 

5. Eye Strain: Gazing at screens for too long can enlarge the blood vessels in the under-eye region, leading to dark circles. 

6. Hyperpigmentation: Continued sun exposure can lead to an increase in melanin synthesis. Results? Deep, dark hollows under the eyes.
