How many times have you skipped sunscreen thinking, “Eh, I’m not even stepping out that long”? Or applied it just once in the morning and called it a day? We've all been there. But as temperatures rise and the sun gets bolder, it’s time to get serious about sunscreen, and SPF 50 sunscreen is just what you need.
At Mintree , we’re all about skin that feels good and looks good. Whether you're choosing a sunscreen for men, sunscreen for women, or just on the hunt for the best sunscreen that doesn’t feel sticky, heavy, or leave a white cast, we’ve got you. And yes, we’re spilling the tea on why sunscreen SPF 50 deserves a permanent spot in your skincare bag this season.
So grab your coffee, your iced matcha (or both, we’re not judging), as I’m gonna tell you about sunscreen.
First things first: Why Sunscreen SPF 50?
SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, is basically your skin’s invisible shield. While SPF 15 and 30 do offer protection, SPF 50 provides a much higher level of defense, blocking around 98% of UVB rays, the ones that burn your skin and damage your DNA.
In other words, if your skin could speak, it would definitely ask for SPF 50, especially during long outdoor hours or beach vacations.
Why SPF 50 is a Non-Negotiable in 2025
Trends may come and go, goodbye 12-step routines but sun protection will always be in. And this year, skincare is all about prevention, not just correction.
Here’s why SPF 50 sunscreen is trending and totally worth the hype -
→ It's climate-proof – Rising heat levels? UV index off the charts? SPF 50 handles it like a pro.
→ It’s gender-inclusive – Whether you’re buying sunscreen for men or sunscreen for women, SPF 50 gives everyone equal protection.
→ No white cast formulas – Lightweight, non-sticky, and they blend like butter.
→ Multitasking power – Many SPF 50 sunscreens now come with skincare benefits like hydration, anti-aging, and even blue light protection.
Sunscreen SPF 50: The Perfect for Summer
We get it, sunscreen for summer can feel thick, greasy, or straight-up annoying. But SPF 50 doesn't have to be that way. The new-age formulas are breathable, light-as-air, and made for Indian summers.
Here’s what to look for -
-
Matte or gel-based formulas for oily skin
-
Hydrating SPF for dry or combo skin
-
Water-resistant for pool days, hikes, and spontaneous beach plans
Mintree Tip: Reapply every 2-3 hours, especially if you're sweating or swimming.
Sunscreen for Women - What Matters Most
Ladies, between serums, moisturizers, primers, and makeup, it’s easy to wonder where sunscreen fits in. But without SPF, all that skincare is pretty much going to waste.
For everyday wear, you want a sunscreen that -
-
Doesn’t pill under makeup
-
Feels like skincare, not chalk
-
Keeps pigmentation and tanning at bay
A good sunscreen for women is one you’ll actually enjoy applying and reapplying.
Sunscreen for Men -Yes, You Need It Too
Gone are the days when sunscreen was just a "women’s product." Men’s skin may be thicker, but that doesn’t make it sunproof.
For the guys who want something simple and effective -
-
Go for lightweight, no-shine SPF 50
-
Choose fast-absorbing formulas that won’t feel greasy post-shave
-
Pick fragrance-free if you’ve got sensitive skin
PS: Guys, your future self will thank you when you’re still looking fresh while everyone else is battling sun spots and wrinkles.
How to Apply Sunscreen Properly
No, a teeny dot isn’t enough.
Here's how you should apply sunscreen properly:
🔸 Face & Neck – Use at least a pea-sized amount. Don’t skip your ears or behind the neck.
🔸 Body – Apply 15-20 minutes before sun exposure. Use enough to cover shoulders, arms, and any exposed areas.
🔸 Reapply – Every 2-3 hours if you’re outdoors. Yes, even if it’s cloudy.
Pro Tip: Keep a travel-size SPF in your bag, car, or gym kit. Future you will be very grateful.
What Makes a Sunscreen the “Best Sunscreen”?
The “best sunscreen” isn’t just about SPF levels. It’s about how it makes your skin feel and how consistently you use it.
Look for one that -
→ Matches your skin type
→ Is non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
→ Has added skincare benefits (hydration, antioxidants, etc.)
→ Feels so good, you actually want to reapply
