Can drinkable sunscreen replace your regular one?
Out of all the skincare products on the market, if there’s one that has undergone intensive clinical studies to prove its effectiveness, it has to be sunscreen.

Unlike topical sunscreens that create a physical or chemical barrier on the skin, drinkable sunscreens work at a cellular level by enhancing the body's defence mechanisms against UV radiation, explains Dr Shetty. Here’s what we found: Most drinkable sunscreens contain antioxidants, vitamins, and plant extracts that help fight free radical damage from the sun.
