More Information

Shielding your skin from the sun isn’t just a seasonal or summer essential—it’s a daily must! Every day, our skin is exposed to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, environmental pollutants, and even digital blue light—all of which can speed up ageing and cause long-term damage.

Using sunscreen daily creates a protective shield, preventing sunburn, premature ageing, dark spots, and even skin cancer. The right sunscreen not only defends but also nourishes, keeping your skin healthy and glowing.

Including the best sunscreen in your daily skincare routine has profound long-term benefits. It maintains an even skin tone, prevents early signs of ageing like wrinkles and fine lines, and ensures overall skin health by protecting essential proteins like collagen and elastin from breaking down.

Making sunscreen a non-negotiable part of your routine helps maintain an even skin tone, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and protects essential proteins like collagen and elastin. The best sunscreen or a good sunscreen cream acts as the first line of defence, helping your skin remain youthful, vibrant, and healthy for years to come.

At Dot & Key, we take sun protection to the next level! All our best sunscreens go beyond just shielding your skin—they hydrate, nourish, and strengthen while enhancing your glow.

We craft our sunscreens with safe, clinically effective fruits and cruelty-free ingredients that do more than just prevent UV damage or reduce tan—they promote healthy skin habits, making sun protection fun, fruity, and effortlessly effective!

Understanding Sunscreen: Key Ingredients & Benefits

When picking the right sunscreen, knowing the basics makes all the difference.

SPF (Sun Protection Factor): Measures how well your sunscreen protects against UVB rays (the ones that cause sunburn).

  • SPF 30 blocks ~97% of UVB rays

  • SPF 50 blocks ~98%

  • SPF 60 offers slightly more coverage

PA Ratings (PA+++, PA++++): Indicate protection against UVA rays, which cause premature ageing and skin damage.

UVA rays penetrate deeply into the skin, contributing significantly to ageing signs like wrinkles, while UVB rays primarily affect the skin's outer layer, causing sunburn. A 'Broad Spectrum' sunscreen provides comprehensive protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

Scientifically, Sunscreens work in two ways:

  • Chemical Sunscreens absorb UV rays before they can harm your skin.
  • Mineral Sunscreens (with Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide) reflect and scatter UV rays away. 

Regular reapplication, ideally every two hours, is vital as sunscreen efficacy diminishes over time due to factors like sweating, swimming, or physical contact. Consistent reapplication ensures uninterrupted protection and keeps your skin safe all day.

Why Choose Dot & Key Sunscreens?

Finding the best sunscreen is about more than SPF—it’s about quality and care.

At Dot & Key, our sunscreens are dermatologically tested to ensure they’re safe, effective, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. This testing guarantees that every formula delivers on its promises without causing irritation or adverse reactions, giving you complete peace of mind.

Our commitment to ethical skincare means all Dot & Key sunscreens proudly carry vegan and cruelty-free certifications. We ensure none of our products or ingredients are tested on animals, adhering strictly to ethical standards and sustainable practices. By selecting the best sunscreen from Dot & Key, you’re supporting responsible beauty practices that care for both your skin and our planet.

Dot & Key’s sunscreen formulations are created without harmful chemicals commonly found in many skincare products. They are free from parabens, phthalates, and sulfates—ingredients that can irritate skin and disrupt its natural balance.

Instead, our sunscreens are infused with Skin-Nourishing Ingredients & clinically effective fruits that protect your skin while enhancing its overall health and appearance. With Dot & Key, sun protection goes beyond defence — it prioritizes your skin’s overall health and safety.

Sunscreen Solutions by Skin Type

Choosing the best sunscreen for your specific skin type ensures optimal protection and maximum comfort. Dot & Key offers specialized sunscreen formulations tailored to meet diverse skincare needs.Sunscreen for Dry Skin

Hydration is key, especially when it comes to dry, flaky skin. Dot & Key sunscreens for dry skin contain nourishing and hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides and natural humectants. Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, helping your skin remain hydrated throughout the day whereas ceramides repair damaged skin barrier & fight dryness.

These formulations deliver intense hydration without feeling heavy or sticky, ensuring your skin feels soft, plump, and comfortable while being effectively shielded from harmful UV rays.

Sunscreen for Oily Skin

Dot & Key's oily skin sunscreens are designed with lightweight, non-comedogenic gel or water-light fluid-based formulas. They absorb quickly into the skin without leaving any greasy residue or clogging pores, preventing breakouts and controlling oil. 

These sunscreens regulate sebum production and provide a matte or natural finish, ensuring your skin stays protected and comfortably fresh all day.

Sunscreen for Combination Skin

Combination skin requires balance—hydration without heaviness. Dot & Key's combination skin sunscreens deliver lightweight, hydrating yet non-greasy textures that evenly moisturize the skin while controlling oil.

These balanced formulations protect your skin effectively, keeping it comfortable, well-hydrated, and refreshed without causing imbalance or irritation.

Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin needs gentle care and robust protection. Dot & Key sunscreens for sensitive skin feature mineral-based active ingredients like Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide, known for their gentle yet powerful protective abilities. 

These fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formulations are specially created to minimize irritation while effectively protecting delicate skin from harmful UV rays. They are ideal for sensitive or reactive skin types, ensuring safety, comfort, and peace of mind.

Dot & Key’s Signature Ingredients in Sunscreens

Dot & Key stands apart in sun care by blending clinically effective fruit backed by science with the best of nature’s bounty. Our best sunscreen formulations feature exclusive natural ingredients such as Blood Orange, Watermelon Cica, Blueberry, Strawberry, Lime, and Mango, carefully chosen to enhance your skin’s health and radiance.

Blood Orange brightens your complexion, reduces pigmentation, and defends your skin from environmental stressors. Cica, known for its calming and healing properties, soothes irritation and inflammation, making it perfect for sensitive and reactive skin. Watermelon gives an instant cooling sensation with a refreshing after-feel.

Our best sunscreen also includes antioxidant-rich extracts like Blueberry and Strawberry, which combat oxidative stress and prevent signs of premature ageing. Citrus fruits such as Lime and tropical ingredients like Mango not only deliver essential vitamins but also energize and revitalize the skin, promoting a healthy, vibrant appearance.

What truly differentiates Dot & Key is our moisture-locking technology. This ensures optimal hydration by effectively sealing moisture into the skin barrier. This advanced approach prevents moisture loss, keeping your skin plump, supple, and hydrated even after prolonged sun exposure. 

Unlike conventional sunscreens, the best sunscreens by Dot & Key actively maintain skin hydration, ensuring comfort and efficacy throughout the day.

We also integrate effective actives such as Ceramides, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, and Multi-vitamins.

  • Ceramides fortify your skin’s natural barrier, enhancing its resilience against environmental damage.

  • Niacinamide visibly improves skin texture, reduces redness, and strengthens the skin’s defences.

  • Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrates and replenishes moisture levels, creating smoother, softer skin.

  • Alpha Arbutin reduces hyperpigmentation, evens skin-tone & brightens skin.

  • Multivitamins deliver comprehensive nourishment, enhancing your skin’s overall health.

Dot & Key’s proprietary best sunscreen formulations provide superior sun defence combined with holistic skincare benefits. Each formula is carefully crafted to protect, nourish, and rejuvenate, ensuring your skin remains healthy, glowing, and resilient—every day.

How to Apply Dot & Key Sunscreen Correctly

To maximize the effectiveness of your Dot & Key sunscreen, proper application is essential. Start by applying sunscreen generously at least 20 minutes before stepping outside. This allows your skin to fully absorb the product and ensures optimal protection against harmful UV rays.

For your face, use approximately a coin-sized amount, ensuring even coverage on your forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and neck. Don’t forget often neglected areas like the ears and the back of the neck.

Reapplication is key to continuous sun protection. Even the best sunscreens lose their efficacy over time due to sweating, swimming, or physical contact. Therefore, reapply Dot & Key sunscreen every two hours, or immediately after swimming, towel drying, or intense physical activity. Consistent reapplication maintains robust protection and healthy, radiant skin all day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is sunscreen important?

Sunscreen protects the skin from harmful UV rays that cause sunburn, premature ageing, and skin cancer. It helps prevent dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and excessive tanning by blocking UV damage.

What is SPF, and why is it important?

SPF stands for "Sun Protection Factor," and it measures how well a sunscreen protects your skin from UVB rays—the type of sunlight that causes sunburn and contributes to skin cancer. The higher the SPF number, the more protection it offers. For example, SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98%.

What does "broad-spectrum" mean in sunscreen?

“Broad-spectrum” means the sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays cause ageing and wrinkles, while UVB rays cause sunburn and contribute to skin cancer. A broad-spectrum sunscreen gives you complete protection, so always look for this label when shopping.

What is the PA rating on sunscreen?

The "PA" stands for Protection Grade of UVA , and the "+" symbols indicate how effective the sunscreen is at shielding your skin from these harmful rays. Here’s what the "+" ratings mean:

PA+ : Offers some UVA protection (basic level).

PA++ : Provides moderate UVA protection.

PA+++ : Provides high UVA protection.

PA++++ : Offers the highest level of UVA protection currently available.

How much sunscreen should I apply?

For your face, a nickel-sized dollop is usually enough. Don’t skimp—applying too little reduces the effectiveness of the SPF. And don’t forget those easy-to-miss spots like your ears, neck, and the back of your hands!

How often should I reapply sunscreen?

You should reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially if you're outdoors or sweating. If you're swimming or towel-drying, reapply immediately afterward because water and friction can remove the sunscreen from your skin.

Does sunscreen prevent tanning?

Sunscreen reduces tanning but does not completely prevent it. Tanning occurs when UV rays stimulate melanin production in the skin. While broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) blocks a significant portion of UVB and UVA rays, some UV exposure can still trigger melanin production, leading to a slight tan over time.

Can I apply sunscreen at night?

If you’re exposed to blue light (from screens like phones, laptops, or TVs) or indoor lighting for long hours, it’s preferable to use a lightweight sunscreen with SPF.

Do darker skin tones need sunscreen?

Yes, everyone needs sunscreen, regardless of skin tone! While darker skin has more melanin, which provides some natural protection, it’s not enough to shield against all UV damage. Sunscreen helps prevent hyperpigmentation, premature ageing, and skin cancer, so it’s essential for all skin tones.

Which is the best sunscreen for oily skin?

The best sunscreen for oily skin is one that’s lightweight, oil-free, and non-comedogenic. Look for gel-based or water-based formulas that absorb quickly without leaving a shiny finish. Dot & Key specifically designed sunscreen for oily skin—it controls shine, prevents clogged pores, and keeps your complexion fresh all day.

Which is the best sunscreen for combination skin?

The best sunscreen for combination skin should hydrate dry areas while controlling oil in the T-zone. A lightweight, broad-spectrum formula works best for combination skin. Dot & Key offers the perfect sunscreen for combination skin—it provides balanced moisture and a matte finish, ensuring comfort for both dry and oily areas.

Which is the best sunscreen for dry skin?

The best sunscreen for dry skin is a creamy, moisturizing formula enriched with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides. Our sunscreen for dry skin locks in hydration while protecting your skin from UV rays, leaving it soft, supple, and radiant.

Which is the best sunscreen for sensitive skin?

The best sunscreen for sensitive skin is a mineral-based formula with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, as these are gentle and less likely to irritate. Our sunscreen for sensitive skin is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and dermatologist-tested, making it safe and soothing for even the most delicate skin.

What is water-based sunscreen?

The water-based sunscreen absorbs quickly and leaves no sticky residue, making it ideal for all skin types, especially oily or combination skin. Dot & Key sunscreen is formulated with a refreshing, water-light texture that protects your skin without weighing it down.

What is paraben-free sunscreen?

The paraben-free sunscreen uses clean, skin-friendly ingredients while still offering strong UV protection. Dot & Key sunscreen is free of parabens and other harsh chemicals, ensuring your skin stays healthy and protected without compromising on safety.

What is fragrance-free sunscreen?

The fragrance-free sunscreen avoids artificial scents that can irritate sensitive skin or conflict with personal preferences. Dot & Key sunscreen is specially formulated to provide broad-spectrum protection without any added fragrances, making it gentle and versatile for everyday use.

What is alcohol-free sunscreen?

The alcohol-free sunscreen avoids drying alcohols that can strip moisture from your skin, making it ideal for dry or sensitive skin types. Our sunscreens are free of alcohol and enriched with nourishing ingredients to keep your skin hydrated and protected throughout the day.

Can I use sunscreen around my eyes?

Yes, but be gentle! The skin around your eyes is thin and delicate, so it’s important to use a sunscreen specifically formulated for the face or one that’s safe for sensitive areas.

Is spray sunscreen as effective as lotion sunscreen?

Spray sunscreen can be just as effective as lotion if used correctly. The key is to spray enough to cover your skin evenly and then rub it in to ensure there are no missed spots. Lotion sunscreens are generally easier to apply evenly, but sprays are convenient for quick touch-ups.

When to apply sunscreen during makeup?

Apply sunscreen before makeup, as the last step of your skincare routine. Let it absorb for 5-10 minutes before applying primer or foundation to ensure proper protection.
