Despite its crucial role in protecting skin from harmful UV rays and preventing premature aging, many people neglect to wear sunscreen daily or fail to use it thoroughly enough for full coverage—and with its latest sun care campaign, teen beauty brand indu is bringing awareness to gaps in SPF usage by teenage girls in the UK.
According to an SPF behavior survey commissioned by indu, just 27% of teens wear SPF daily, 40% only apply SPF when it's sunny, and nearly 60% have experienced sunburn on their face due to improper SPF application. indu's campaign points to the indu101 blog, which provides education and myth-busting, and there's a TikTok dance challenge that explains important terms in a fun and relatable way for Gen Z.
