In the scorching summer, spending a long time outdoors exposes the skin to ubiquitous ultraviolet rays, which easily darken and age the skin. It is definitely one of the main culprits for accelerating skin aging, so sun protection is crucial in the summer. Do we need to apply sunscreen indoors or on cloudy days? Let’s debunk the myths about sun protection and select 4 sunscreen products for your sun protection routine!
// Myth 1: Do you need to apply sunscreen indoors or on cloudy days?//
Many people think that sunscreen is only necessary in the summer, but in fact, throughout the year, whether it’s sunny or cloudy, or whether you’re in a car or indoors, you may come into contact with ultraviolet rays. Even though the clouds on a cloudy day can block the penetration of UVB, they cannot resist UVA. Moreover, UVA can directly penetrate glass, so it is important to thoroughly protect your skin from the sun in any season or weather, even when indoors.
// Myth 2: Do you need to remove sunscreen even if you only apply it?//
如果只是使用一般的日常防曬，基本上不需要卸妝，只需要用上洗面產品作簡單清潔就可以了。但若是使用具有防水耐汗或備有持妝、潤色功效的防曬產品，建議要使用溫和不刺激的卸妝和洗面產品潔淨，避免肌膚出現敏感不適。
// Myth 3: How often should sunscreen be reapplied? //
It is believed that everyone usually applies sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before going out, but actually applying it only once is not enough to resist UV rays. In the summer, sweating and oil production can cause sunscreen to be lost, greatly reducing its effectiveness. Therefore, it is recommended to apply sunscreen every 2 hours. For outdoor activities or water activities, it is also advisable to choose sunscreen with high water resistance and apply it more frequently.
