However, is moisturising truly enough?

During the cold season, a common belief dictates that products like creams, lotions, petroleum jelly, body oil, or moisturisers are enough. We rely on these heavy-duty items to combat visible dryness and maintain skin suppleness. This leads to a major misconception: that because the sun’s intensity feels weaker in winter, there is no need for sunscreen. This is a crucial mistake. Sunscreen application is just as vital as any other routine. The sun’s damaging UV rays can penetrate deep into your skin, even on cloudy skies or cold weather, leading to skin damage, tanning, dullness, and the formation of dark spots.

When choosing a winter sunscreen, consider your skin type, budget, and preferred brands to find the most suitable option. The current market offers a wide array of sunscreens from both medical and beauty brands. While high-end, medical-grade sunscreens are often prized for their quality, many beauty brands provide good-quality products in the mid-to-budget-friendly range that are highly popular in the Bangladeshi market.

Unilever’s new Glow & Lovely Bright UV Duo Sunscreen has recently obtained significant attention from users. Available in two variants, SPF 30 and SPF 50, this product is suitable for all skin types and for year-round use. It gives up to 99% protection from harmful UV rays and actively works to reduce dullness and dark spots. Its non-sticky, lightweight formula leaves no white cast and is budget-friendly.

Don’t let the common misconceptions of winter lead you to skip this essential protection. Give your skin the complete shield it deserves all year long.
