During winter when the sun is not so strong, can we safely stop using sunscreen?
I feel sunscreen should ideally be used throughout the year. Even when the sun is seemingly not strong it still has harmful rays. Use of sunscreen would prevent darkening and scaling of the skin.
I use the sunscreen lotion at least 20 minutes before my step out and under the make up. If I have been out in the sun for a long time, when I return and wash my face, I could use a natural lightening and soothing ingredient like cucumber juice or fresh tomato juice which could be applied with cotton wool and removed after ten minutes.
