Walk outside on a summer morning anywhere. You feel the warmth of the sun right away. You put on sunscreen before going out. That's a habit.. Have you ever wondered which types of solar radiation your sunscreen is actually blocking?
The sun gives off a lot of kinds of radiation. Ultraviolet (UV) visible light and infrared (IR). Most sunscreens only protect against some of these. UVICOZ IR Dry Touch Sunscreen Gel is designed to protect against all three: UVA, UVB and Infrared radiation. That makes it a true multispectral sun protector. Sunscreen was invented to protect against UV.. The sun doesn't just stop at UV. Your skin protection shouldn't either.
Why Infrared (IR) Protection Matters
IR radiation hasn't gotten attention in skincare science but research has shown that it can damage skin:
A key finding is that Infrared-A radiation (IRA) can create things in your skin that cause damage like breaking down collagen. This is similar to how UV radiation works so IR can double the damage to your skin without you even realizing it.
IR Damage Is Cumulative and Invisible
You might feel warmth but not pain. That means IR skin damage adds up over time. Being out in the sun without protection can lead to:
- Ageing. Fine lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity
- Worsening of melasma and hyperpigmentation
- Increased skin temperature, which makes UV damage worse
- Radical stress in your skin
In a country like India, where the sun's IR intensity is very high all year round this protection is necessary.
UVICOZ IR Dry Touch Sunscreen Gel. What Sets It Apart
UVICOZ IR is not a sunscreen. It's a multispectral photoprotection system. Here's what makes it different:
UVB Protection: It blocks UVB rays that cause sunburn and DNA damage.
UVA Defence: It protects against UVA rays that cause tanning, pigmentation and collagen breakdown.
IR Shield: It has IR protection that neutralizes heat-driven damage across all skin layers.
Dry Touch Gel: It's a gel that absorbs quickly and doesn't feel greasy.
No White Cast: It works well on skin tones without leaving a residue.
The Dry Touch Advantage
One reason people don't use sunscreen is that it can feel heavy and greasy. UVICOZ IR changes the sunscreen experience:
- The gel absorbs quickly. Leaves a smooth matte finish.
- It's ideal for acne-prone skin daily office use, outdoor commutes and sensitive skin.
For a country where temperatures are often over 40°C and humidity is high a sunscreen that works with your skin is necessary.
