Why Choosing the Right Sunblock Is Crucial for Dry Skin in Pakistan

Living in Pakistan particularly in warm and sunny cities like Lahore means your skin is constantly exposed to harsh sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to premature aging, sunspots, hyperpigmentation, and even serious conditions like skin cancer.

If you have dry skin, using any ordinary sunscreen can make matters worse. Some sunblocks dry your skin further, leading to flakiness, tightness, or irritation. That’s why you need a product that does more than just block UV rays it must also nourish and lock in moisture.

At QHC, we understand these challenges. That’s why we’ve put together a guide to help you find the best sunblock in Pakistan specifically for dry skin.

What Features Make a Sunblock Ideal for Dry Skin?

Choosing the right sunblock means knowing which ingredients and properties offer both protection and hydration. Here’s what to look for:

1. Broad-Spectrum UV Protection

Make sure the sunblock guards against both UVA rays (which age your skin) and UVB rays (which burn it).

2. Moisturizing and Skin-Soothing Ingredients

Look for hydrating elements such as:

• Hyaluronic acid – helps retain skin moisture

• Glycerin – draws water into the skin

• Ceramides – restore skin’s natural barrier

• Vitamin E – offers antioxidant protection

• Shea butter – deeply moisturizes and soothes

3. Non-Comedogenic and Gentle Formulas

Even dry skin can develop breakouts. Choose sunblocks labeled non-comedogenic to prevent clogged pores and irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sunblock in Pakistan

What’s the difference between sunblock and sunscreen?

Sunblock contains physical filters like zinc oxide that reflect UV rays, while sunscreen uses chemical filters to absorb them. For dry or sensitive skin, physical sunblocks are often gentler and more hydrating.

How often should I apply sunblock in Lahore’s weather?

In regions like Lahore, where the sun is strong year-round:

• Reapply sunblock every 2 to 3 hours

• Reapply immediately after sweating or washing your face

• Use daily even on overcast or winter days

Do I still need a moisturizer if my sunblock is hydrating?

If your sunblock includes ingredients like vitamin E or hyaluronic acid, it can act as both a sunblock and moisturizer. However, during colder months or at night, an additional moisturizer may still be helpful.

Why Skipping Sunblock Is Risky for Dry Skin

If you're not wearing sunblock daily, your skin may be suffering more than you think. Without protection, dry skin is vulnerable to:

• Accelerated aging  fine lines and wrinkles

• Uneven tone  dark spots and hyperpigmentation

• Sunburns   redness, peeling, or soreness

• Higher risk of skin cancer

Sun damage doesn’t happen all at once it  builds up over time. The good news is, it's never too late to start protecting your skin.
