Abstract
Objectives: Sunscreens are at the heart of comprehensive skin care routine. This study aims to improve the knowledge and understanding of undesired effects of sun exposure such as sunburn, photoaging, phototoxic reactions, and even skin cancer, as well as Indian attitudes and practices towards sun protection. Method: This study focuses on the scientific basis of sunscreen use, including types and classifications, formulation, regulations, and adverse effects. In addition, particular emphasis was given to the Indian perspective. Findings: The skin-damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation are protected by sunscreens through blocking, reflecting, scattering or absorbing sunlight. Commercially available sunscreens come in various formulations such as gel, cream, spray, or other topical products. It has been found that the UV-filters used in sunscreens may sometimes cause some undesired side effects. In India, unfortunately, most people are not aware of sunscreens and there is a lack of basic knowledge about their proper use. However, in recent years, the scenario has changed a lot. Conclusion: Despite their lack of knowledge regarding sun protection, overall sun protection is poorly practiced by the Indians. A continuous effort in public education is required concerning its beneficial effects. This review article provides an in depth summary of modern sun protection which, provides better public awareness, particularly among the Indians about a protective spectrum of sunscreens.
