After the recent days of wind and rain, we have finally welcomed the summer’s standard blue sky and white clouds. Are you all ready for a series of outdoor activities under the sun, sweating to your heart’s content? Whether it’s hiking, going to the sea, or just going out for a stroll, don’t forget the importance of sun protection in summer. Even if you are ready to go out, do not forget to apply sunscreen according to the different SPF levels, and make comprehensive preparations for sun protection!
// Sunscreen Tips //
Everyone applies sunscreen, but does everyone know how to use sunscreen correctly? When you have emptied bottles of essence, moisturizer, and foundation several times within a year, but have not finished even one sunscreen, you must pay attention to your sunscreen habits. In fact, not only in summer, but all year round, even on cloudy days, you must do a good job of sun protection. The UV intensity on cloudy days is actually 70% of that on sunny days, so you must not take it lightly.
When choosing sunscreen, SPF and PA ratings are the main concerns for most people. SPF is used to protect against UVB rays, with higher numbers indicating stronger protection. PA, on the other hand, is used to protect against UVA rays, with more plus signs indicating stronger protection. In addition to ratings, texture is also a key factor in choosing sunscreen. Generally, physical sunscreens are harder to spread and can be a bit sticky, but they are more suitable for sensitive skin and children. If you prefer a refreshing and lightweight texture, you may want to try chemical sunscreens. As for how often to reapply sunscreen, if you don’t want to remember complicated formulas based on the specific product, basically, sunscreen with SPF25 or higher should be reapplied every two to three hours in a cool place. Finally, thoroughly cleanse the areas where sunscreen was applied with makeup remover to remove any residue.
