Every single day, your skincare morning ritual may start with cleansing, toning moisturizing and applying that one layer of non-negotiable sunscreen, especially in summer for that sun protection. All of this sounds cliched, isn’t it? But, here’s a catch! As the heatwave surges, it is important that you double apply your sunscreen for that added protection against the scorching heat. This might sound unfamiliar, but many skincare enthusiasts rave about the benefits of applying a double layer of sunscreen to keep skin health under check.
Health Shots got in touch with Dr Kashish Kalra, Head of the Department of Dermatology at Max Super speciality hospital, New Delhi, to understand everything about this new trend, double sunscreen.
How to apply a double layer of sunscreen this summer?
You must have heard of double cleansing to get rid of all the excess dirt, grime or makeup. Double sunscreen is a new concept but is surely beneficial for the skin in grave summers.
Recently, popular dermatologist Dr Rashmi Shetty took to her social media to share how to apply double sunscreen and why.
Dr Shetty says, “As the name suggests, applying double sunscreen means you are using two sunscreens at a time. So, you first use a sunscreen which has skincare ingredients also in it such as vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, etc. So, it gives you what you need, and on top of it, use a powdered sunscreen which could simply be your compact and that will give you the necessary sun care protection by locking in the sunscreen.”
