At Derma 360 Skin & Hair Clinic in KPHB, we’ve seen countless skin issues that could’ve been prevented with proper sun protection. Unfortunately, myths around sunscreen are still everywhere—especially in Indian cities like Hyderabad.

🚫 Common Sunscreen Myths

• "I don’t need sunscreen indoors." UVA rays penetrate windows and can still cause skin damage.

• "I have dusky skin, so I’m naturally protected." All skin types can develop pigmentation, sunburn, and premature aging.

• "SPF 100 means I’m fully protected." SPF 30–50 is ideal; no sunscreen blocks 100% of UV rays.

• "Sunscreen causes acne." Wrong formulation can—but non-comedogenic, gel-based SPFs are ideal for Indian skin.

• "I don’t need it on cloudy days." UV rays pass through clouds and cause tanning and pigmentation.
