Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 3-finger rule for sunscreen?
The 3-finger rule for sunscreen is a technique where you apply three long lines of sunscreen, one along the index finger, one along the middle finger and one along the ring finger, to ensure you use enough product to protect your face, neck and ears. This method helps ensure you apply the necessary recommended amount of sun protection to avoid sunburn and premature ageing.
Why wait 20 minutes after applying sunscreen?
You need to wait 15 to 20 minutes before sun exposure to allow the lotion to dry, giving it time to evaporate volatile ingredients and bind to the skin, creating a smooth, stable and even protective layer that will not immediately wash off with sweat. While UV filters start working immediately upon contact, rushing out before this 20 minute window can significantly compromise your protection.
How many times a day should I apply sunscreen?
You should apply sunscreen at least once in the morning and reapply every two hours of sun exposure. If you are indoors in a dim room or away from windows, a single morning application is usually sufficient, but reapplication is recommended if you plan to step outside, even for your commute or lunch.
Can I use this sunscreen under makeup?
Yes. The Hybrid Advanced Defence Sunscreen is lightweight and non-greasy, making it an ideal base under makeup. Its smooth, non-sticky finish allows foundation and other products to sit evenly on top without pilling or sliding off, making it a practical last step in your morning skincare routine.
Does this sunscreen work for Indian skin tones?
Yes. Unlike traditional mineral sunscreens, the hybrid UV filter system in this formulation is specifically designed to leave no white cast, making it suitable for all Indian skin tones. The addition of centella asiatica and snow mushroom extract also ensures the skin stays calm, hydrated and comfortable throughout the day even in humid conditions.
