The Truth About Sunscreen Myths in India

In India, sunscreen myths are everywhere—“dark skin doesn’t need sunscreen,” “SPF is only for summer,” or “you don’t need SPF indoors.” These misconceptions leave skin vulnerable. Let’s bust the most common sunscreen myths and learn the truth with Bob & Bae.

Myth 1: Indian Skin Doesn’t Need Sunscreen

Truth: Melanin offers some protection but not enough. UV rays still cause pigmentation, tanning, and skin cancer.

Myth 2: Sunscreen is Only for Summers

Truth: UV damage happens year-round, even in winter and monsoon.

Myth 3: You Don’t Need Sunscreen Indoors

Truth: UVA rays penetrate glass—meaning windows at home, office, and cars still let UV in.

Myth 4: Higher SPF = No Reapplication

Truth: SPF 50+ is good, but reapplication every 3-4 hours is still a must.
