With the পূজা festival in full swing, many are spending extended periods outdoors – visiting pandals, viewing ঠাকুর, and enjoying time with friends – making it difficult to avoid sun exposure. This leads to concerns about tanning, sunburn, and loss of skin radiance. To bypass the repeated application of sunscreen, many are turning to “sunscreen tablets” advertised on social media. These pills are marketed with the claim that a single tablet can provide adequate protection. The increasing popularity of these tablets raises questions about their efficacy and safety, prompting a closer look at whether they genuinely deliver on their promises. Concerns are mounting whether this is a viable alternative to traditional sunscreens for those enjoying the festivities.
